DuoDater Doubles the Date

YOUR TANGO - Sep 1 - The new double-dating site DuoDater just launched publicly. First dates can be awkward, you might have nothing to talk about. With DuoDater, you can bring your friend. How it works: Grab a friend, form a "duo," sign up for the site, and you'll be paired with another "duo." Then you can all hang out together sans awkwardness. The site is still 100% free.
