People want to know if the person they're dating is also dating someone else.
"Are we dating the same {{guy/girl]]" groups have gotten significant traction in past months — see below: thousands of members in each city, and this is just for people seeing if they're dating the same *guy*
these groups aren't built for this, though, because the y rely on a timeline, i.e. there's no "profile" for each person for others to look up. e.g. if I'm dating Sam and she uses XYZ pictures, I should be able to look up Sam, that location, and those pictures; I shouldn't have to scroll through a whole timeline
corollary value: let people comment on the person and tell others how they performed/behaved so you can see if they're nice, worth going out with, etc.
note: an app (lulu) existed 10 years ago to let you rate people; it was acquired by badoo but I haven't heard anything about it

My first thought was a "sign in with your google acct"-like solution. There is one sign-in method that major dating app and social media platforms have available. This feature then links the user's accts and activity, screening for indicators of dating activity.
To incentivize users to actually use this platform, perhaps it can be much more than a sign-in method. Maybe its a data transfer hub, where the platform actually helps users transfer popular posts, content, connections + stats between different apps.
If this seems a bit up-in-the-air, there is the option to avoid the sign-in method altogether. The skeptical user can use an extension/app/program that screens for names/activity that might indicate the same suitor across different platforms.
Thoughts?
