10 days ago my friend and I built a site - www.makeusdate.com. We saw the great coverage that breakup notifier had got and were discussing it 10 days ago.

I said to my friend that I really liked a girl called Molly, who was one of my Facebook friends, but that I was too scared to ask her for fear of rejection. At this point we had a lightbulb moment and thought we could build a site whereby a person could select the Facebook friends they would like to go on a date with and these people never have to find out. If however they used our site and liked you back then the two of you were sent an email telling each other you liked each other.

The idea was simple, the idea was great fun. I told my football team about it who loved it! A group of non techies, understanding and liking the idea meant we had to crack on and do it!

We discussed it, designed it, my friend slaved away and coded it and we were ready to launch by Saturday afternoon. However I woke to a text message from my brother 'Bad news, sorry mate - http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/25/crushnotifier/'.

We were devastated. We had been beaten to the idea by a matter of hours. Techcrunch had picked it up and so had a load of other sources.

We tried in vain to send these sources our site, our idea but we heard nothing back. Our site is different to Dan's in that you don't need to provide the email address of the person you crush, we also were focused on the date and planned on giving people good ideas for dates based on their shared interests.

I appreciate the idea is not for everyone and I know it met a pretty tough response on here. However we were proud of turning an idea into a site in 10 days and we really enjoyed doing it. We don't want to give up and we would love for people to use the site. The only way that will happen is if we can get the site and idea out there but in a completely unique way.

This is where you guys come in! We were hoping you could suggest untapped sources that we could pitch the site to, people we could tell who could get us some traffic. Basically we are looking for help in trying to get our site out there!

Thanks in advance for help you guys give us. Hopefully if we get the site out there and enough people use it, maybe Molly will sign up and like me back!
