Any Cyranos out there?

You write personal ads, and also write answers for responders to ads; and the advertiser’s response to those answers.

Hmm. i wonder what other dating support services are available? apparently picking places to go may also be involved!

Virtual Dating Assistants Work Full-Time to Find You a Date

Most people just don't have 40 hours a week to devote to finding someone special. Busy professionals have long had difficulty finding love online, because the searching and responding to dozens or hundreds of potential suitors -- not to mention going out on dates -- can take hours every single day. But now, help may be on the way. (Or not. You decide.)

What is a Virtual Dating Assistant?
Basically, a Virtual Dating Assistant is someone you hire to do the heavy lifting when it comes to online dating. After an in-depth interview, your Virtual Dating Assistant will comb dating sites looking for suitable matches, send selections to you for approval, and even woo your selections with witty online banter. Once a date is arranged (they'll even pick the restaurant) your Virtual Dating Assistant will provide you with a sort of "romantic white paper" to let you know what the 'fake' you and your real date have been talking about, and all of the things you probably have in common.

Can they really help to find you someone great?
Virtual Dating Assistants can help you if you're very particular in your desires. (One client had a clown fetish and was looking for a woman who owned her own pair of red floppy shoes, water-squirting flower, and red squeaky nose.) That gentleman's VDA set him up with not one, but three women who fit the bill. So, if you have, um, unusual taste, a Virtual Dating Assistant might just be what you need.
Scott Valdez, the founder of Virtual Dating Assistant says that the majority of his clients are "busy professionals" and most are men. In many cases, a high-powered job prevents them from spending the amount of time necessary to successfully date online. According to Valdez, attractive women can receive hundreds of messages every week, and frequently they don't have the time or desire to weed through all the frogs to find their princes.

How much do the services cost, and where can you find a Virtual Dating Assistant?
Prices vary among smaller companies, but the biggest VDA company, Virtual Dating Assistants, offers packages that range from $600 per month for 40 hours of dating assistance to $1200 per month for 80 hours of dating help. That's right, two full-time employees (freelancers, actually) doing nothing but combing the Internet for Mr. or Ms. Right on your behalf.

I suppose this puts a new spin on that age old question...can you tell if they're faking it?

I just had the bunnies romping as I wondered if two DA's met on the net and posing as their clients, got excited. They set up the date and independently decide to go along to see if the client matched the pictures?

They sat at the bar and watched as their clients met and conversed. He asks her what she is doing, she tells him about being a Dating Assistant and that she came along to see the "John".

He decides to not tell her that he was in the same boat, but buys her a drink and chats her up.

Anyway they click and as they are huddled at the Bar, their clients get up and go immediately dash to a motel.
