Dating with Data is a research study run by academics at the University of Chicago studying dating behaviors. As part of our study, we have created a matchmaking portal where you can match with other people looking to date in your area.
Our matchmaking portal is similar to dating apps - except we will pay you for using it!
Here's how it works:
