THE NEXT WEB - July 19 - Cheek'd, a NYC based dating network, bridges the gap between online dating and real-world by providing members with physical cards that they can use to entice people from the real world to flirt with them in the virtual world. The company was founded last year. Each member receives a deck of calling cards including short, ‘cheeky’ statements such as: “act natural, we can get awkward later” “don’t overthink this” and “emotionally available”, as well as a link and code id. The recipient of the card logs onto the Cheek’d website, enters the code, reviews the card-giver’s profile and then can send the card-giver a message for free.
We've seen dating sites offers cards in the past, but they've been rather cheesy. Cheek'd is getting cards right, by making them genuinely amusing, and cheeky. Their cards are great icebreakers.
