> That's a little tricky

Ahh, the enthusiasm of a new startup. :)

Relationships are such a spectrum that this part is actually really, really hard. OKC gets it mostly correct, which is one of the reasons they're really popular with that crowd.

> Frankly, the most valuable antidote to schlep blindness is probably ignorance. Most successful founders would probably say that if they'd known when they were starting their company about the obstacles they'd have to overcome, they might never have started it. -pg

I know its considered a bit tacky to quote pg, but I am not as eloquent as he.

I've done multiple startups at this point, so I'm not as ignorant as you would suspect. Sometimes I wonder why I still do startups. I know exactly what I'm getting myself into, the only reason I'm willing to take it on is because I felt the pain from the end of my last relationship, followed by the pain of trying online dating. It's something I genuinely want to solve, and I know that it won't be easy.

"User growth" will flatline next week. Engagement will be low. But we're going to figure it out.

Thats the attitude, I wish you the best of luck!
