THE 33TV - June 24 - Entrepreneur Dave Wilkie says, on average, it takes online daters 2-3 weeks to finally meet someone in person. That's why he decided to create a tool that speeds things up. It's called Weopia: a 3-D dating world where daters get to know each other by playing games and quizzes and talking to each other live. Wilkie says going on a virtual date is less intimidating and takes less time. Another added bonus: It's safe. There's no need to leave your house, and there's no awkward first encounter. "You don't have to finish a 2-hour dinner," Wilkie said. At Weopia, you just reject with one mouse click. A 1-day pass to Weopia is $4.95, or $18.95 a month.

...or do this for free on Second Life, with literally hundreds, perhaps thousands of options for your date (and not creepily alone and private...yikes), using all these same features and more. Well, at least as long as SL exists, that is.

Tried that. Too many Griefers and others to got in our way. Three people approached her in two meetings and she hated it. So did I! LOL And she had trouble setting up her avatar. I could only speak to her on eHarmony, so it was tough to give her advice. It took us a week and a half to get into SL together and then I had to keep telling her what to do and how to move and use voice. Weopia is pretty easy to get going. Pick and avatar and use the arrow keys and mouse button.
