Crys makes an interesting suggestion here.

I am not familiar with all the various dating services out there but 
all of them basically just accumulate a number of members and then provide
some sort of matching service that is supposed narrow down the field so
you can find the perfect match.  Wouldn't a dating service be much better
if they went a step further and provided guidance on how to approach that
potential mate so that the chance for sucess were greater?  If a dating
service were to offer a seminar to their members where they could practice
those social skills (like Toastmasters does) I wonder how many people
would attend.  Now, I'm not talking about some sort of Speed Seduction
thing but a something like a weekly role playing exercise where some of
the members could actually practice their conversational skills.  The best
part about such a service would be that even if they didn't find a match
through the service, the skills that they have learned through the seminar
could be applied in any social situation.
