Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Not another one you say, yep.. it’s another dating site in this PR release that has been launched for the Baltimore/DC area. Business must surely be going well for the online dating industry judging by the number of dating sites that are coming into this market along with spectacular yearly profits reported by Match.
There is no escaping that online dating does really work and it’s providing a growing number of people who have lost the stigma of finding dates online a long time ago and they are now perfectly content to be socializing on Facebook, Twittering to friends and so why not online dating!
The concept behind HowAboutWe is interesting as it sort of borders between a website that focuses on specific interest groups but yet gives you autonomy like many of the other online dating sites. Basically users submit ideas for good dating ideas such as “How about we…grab turkish cuisine, try hookah, watch belly dancing…” and the user will receive proposals of such activities from others in their inbox who share similar interests. If any of the ideas seems good, the user can then check out their profiles and get to know them.
We in fact have done a review of the HowAboutWe dating site in our Startup Online Dating Sites review section.

Startup Online Dating Sites – HowaboutWe.com - Part 2

The next step is rather interesting and quite fun as it suggests 10 dates and you have to say what you think about each of these date ideas. You can skip this and go to the next step which asks you about your personal make up, educational and career background, smoking, drinking and exercise habits. After this you can upload your photo. Then comes the final step where you have to post the day you would like to go on a date, the date category and your favorite venue. On the right side you can see some date ideas provided by the website. For registration to this site you must be 18 years or above.
Login & Customizing Profiles
As you sign up to the site you do not have to wait for the confirmation mail, you will be immediately and automatically logged in. What I like after the login is that you can invite your friends through your contacts, facebook connection, twitter or by email.

Startup Online Dating Sites – HowaboutWe.com - Part 3

You are presented with an option to invite your friend which you can skip for later. Customizing your profile is easy as you can edit your profile and change your photo. You will see some ‘about me’ questions where you can let people know more yourself. You can edit your date information like the venue or ideas for dates at any time.
Photo Profile Section
Photo profile selection is much better than other sites I have encountered as there are no rules to upload the photo. You can simply upload your profile photo from your computer. As the website gives you the facility for signing in with facebook, I was expecting the same for importing photos also from facebook account. However, it’s fairly easy to upload from your computer. No approval system is there as you can upload any picture of your choice and as many as you want. I expect they have a way of monitoring for nudity etc.

Browse & Search Feature
Browsing and searching is a very important feature of any dating website and this is where I generally spend more time investigating.
In ‘How About We’ section, you can browse and search any feature at free of cost. The menu is placed distinctively at the top where you can see the other menus such as search dates, date ideas, blogs, messages and post a date.
In the search date option you can see the searches of your match by selecting a category of date. The categories are divided into four types i.e. food + drink, arts + culture, out and about, and an uncategorized group. These categories are further divided into many different types. You can search matches within your region and the age group you want.
The ‘date ideas’ option suggests many ideas for a perfect date that you would be of interest to you. Just click on “want to go” and you will be added to the date ideas list. I liked searching the date ideas just because you can find other featured ideas, nearest to you or the most popular one.
Blogs and messages are readily accessible.
