No one will innovate in the Online Dating Industry. 
My bet: Only a short term success. Social dating is vaporware. Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient.  It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance.  The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".
