Singles flock online

A new online dating startup will reverse the process of first chatting online before an actual meet-up, reports Springwise.

Admit an Attraction allows people to meet online after first meeting in the physical world. The site sells Attraction Tickets that members can hand out to someone they meet in public, which sends the stranger to the member's profile through a unique access code.

The question remains, "Why not just ask for a phone number?" The cards are purportedly perfect for shy consumers and those who don't want to give out personal details, simply because the conversation was too brief.
