With features such as blocking profiles and request to connect functionalities for individuals who are not your matches, myTamilDate plans to give you control of who can and cannot access your profile. Furthermore, they hope to increase their membership mainly through a ‘friends of friends’ strategy, by tapping into their personal networks and allowing existing members to easily invite their friends to the site, to ensure good quality candidates are signing up. After all, the saying goes ‘birds of a feather flock together’!
The site was inspired by a group of Tamil, young professionals. In their words:
“Some of us are single and will be members of myTamilDate, while some of us are in relationships and off the market. Our common ground? Given the busy lifestyle of Tamil singles, we get how hard it can be to meet that special someone who shares in our values, beliefs and upbringing. With our full time jobs, family obligations, volunteer work, hobbies, traveling and social outings with friends, finding that special someone using traditional dating methods can be challenging. And the ‘meet this great girl’ and ‘meet this great guy’ setups from family and friends can leave singles feeling pressured and overwhelmed. This shared sentiment amongst us led to the creation of myTamilDate.”
Here are the faces & inspiration behind myTamilDate.
