IDEA: Pre-date Liaison

Are you dating online? Pre-Date Liaison (provided as a service) offers a new, unique, and valuable service to make the process less stressful. As you navigate the trecherous world of online dating, how can you know the person you've been chatting with is who they say they are? If you're considering a potential date with someone you've never met in person, consider asking them to submit to a PDL first.

Here's how it works:
  • You tell the person you're interested in meeting them, but to help you feel more reassured, you ask them to contact PDL and arrange an interview.
  • You contact us and let us know to expect contact from the person.
  • They contact us and arrange for a PDL interview.
  • We conduct a brief in-person interview with them — 5-10 minutes max. In the course of the interview, we will confirm their identity, ask them 2 boilerplate questions, and take a photo of them. They also pay a $20 fee to the interviewer.
  • We send the interview info to you, along with any other pertinent data (i.e.: Where they late to the interview? Did they arrive drunk? etc....)You take it from there. Whether you decide to meet them in person or not, you do so with the benefit of an PDL intreview in-hand.

Why might you need this service?

  • Assurance: A minimal $20 fee assures that the person is serious about meeting you. It's not enough to break the bank, but it's enough to weed out those who are just in it for a laugh.
  • Profiles lie: Are those photos in their dating profile real? Are they from 20 years ago? Is it even the same person? We'll take a current photo so you know for certain. We'll also check their ID to see if it matches their stated name. They can always refuse to show their ID — and if they do, we'll let you know.

Why would a potential date pay for this?

  • Compassion: Dating can be scary, and even dangerous, especially for women. A compassionate person may want to give you the added assurance that they are not playing games, and that they really do want to you meet you.
  • Compensation: If you end up liking this person, you can always show your appreciation for their willingness to undergo the preliminary PDL interview by paying them back part of all of the fee.

Why should I trust the PDL interviewer?

  • We're public and open. Our methods and interviewers are publicly listed here, and are available for contact. We're not hiding ourselves, or what we do.
  • Our interviewers are profesionally third-party background checked. Reports for each interviewer are available on our website.
  • You can Google us! It's the information age, and part of us being open and honest is knowing that you can see much of our lives online. We even provide intructions for digging up dirt on people online on our website, and you can use that for your potential dates and for our interviewers!

Other questions:

  • Is this service only for women looking to date men? No, this is for anyone who can use the service.
  • Do you meet potential dates for same-sex couples? Absolutely — we'll meet anyone you want us to.
  • Do you offer any guarantees? We can only guarantee the information we provide. We can't promise a person won't trick us. This isn't meant to be a one-stop, fool-proof solution. It's one valuable piece of a process.

I've been asked to contact you for an interview, and I don't see why I need to!

  • Well, you don't need to — this is a voluntary process.
  • You are free to tell the person who asked you to contact us that you don't want to.


You'll only receive email when they publish something new.
