Dating/Matchmaking Services
What considerations would you have as a potential client of a dating/matchmaking service for adult autistics? This service would include dating coaching if desired. There would be fees payable.
I ask on my own initiative after learning of such a proposed project about which I have been asked to give my thoughts.
If you have thoughts, let me know. If you were a client, what would be your concerns?
I would suggest that you take a look at the already-existing dating services for autistic people, which I listed in another thread here.
At least one of them, Uneepi, offers some kind of coaching service too, if I'm not mistaken.
But, from what I've heard, all these dating apps have one big problem: not enough users. And I've seen plenty complaints from men that these apps also tend to have a very high male-to-female ratio among the users they do have.
So perhaps what's needed is not a new dating app for autistic people, but someone to partner with one or more of the already-existing apps to help them do a better job of marketing themselves, and perhaps also to help them improve in various possible ways that might make them more woman-friendly.
That said, I do have a suggestion for what, as far as I am aware, would be a totally new kind of dating site/app.

My chief concern would be if there was a large amount of church of Christ women and non-institutional church of Christ women on the dating service.....other wise it would serve no purpose.

I’m not talking about a dating app.
This is a service which will actively assist autistic people in improving dating skills and put people together.

Thanks for the clarification.
Seems to me that one of your biggest problems will be marketing your service in a way that makes the above immediately clear. These days, I would expect most people to expect almost everything to be an app.
Anyhow, it sounds like an excellent idea. I hope you manage to make it work.

I would want to know if there is some kind of guarantee & refund policy. I would hate to spend a buch of money only to have no success.

I think a dating/matchmaking service would only be a viable option if you lived in a really big city with more than 500k residents. Otherwise, there simply wouldn't be enough people that signed up for it to be a worthwhile investment.
New York, Chicago, or LA would be the most ideal places to sign up for a match-making service.
