Date friends of your friends
Oct 27th
Have you ever wondered how to meet or initiate a communication with a friend of one of your friends? Have you thought about asking a friend to break that ice for you? We do believe that approaching a friend’s friend via a friend creates a chain of trust between you and your friend’s friend especially when you both have not met yet. So, we decided to take advantage of this simple social rule to implement this feature on our social dating website. This feature is available under Matchmaking tab after the user logs in.
This feature is only available to people using Facebook Connect to login to Trystana because we can ask them to permit us to retrieve the list of their friends from Facebook. Let’s clarify this feature by an example:
Jack logs in and he can see a list of Facebook people populated on Trystana who are his friends’ friends. He likes Alice from the list and decides to contact her. He realizes that Alice can be contacted via two friends of his, Mike and Heather. Jack decides to ask Mike to put him in touch with Alice. He simply clicks on Mike’s name or picture and a message is compiled to send to Mike expressing Jack’s interest in Alice. When Mike receives that message, he will see a brief message followed by a link. When Mike clicks on that link a message is sent to Alice via Facebook to let her know his friend Jack is interested in meeting her. Alice receives a link to Jack’s profile on Trystana and if she is interested in too, she can sign up and contact Jack to arrange a date.
If Mike as a mutual friend of Alice and Jack feels that Alice and Jack cannot be good matches, he can easily choose not to forward the request to Alice and notify Jack about this possible mismatch.
As you see, the whole process explained above implies a traditional matchmaking mechanism like asking friends or family members to match two people that we have introduced it as an online matchmaking system.
Rolling out the new design of trystana’s social dating website
Oct 26th
We rolled out the new design of trystana’s social dating website successfully just a few days ago. In the new design, we tried to exhibit the spirit of our social dating services by showing two urban lovers in their casual clothes, while the clouds and the floating hearts inspire a happy, romantic and vivid atmosphere.
We also tried to demonstrate that our social dating’s website members true identity matters by displaying Facebook Connect button. Facebook Connect button encourages our site visitors to turn into our site members just within a few seconds with their actual social networking presence. We relied on people’s Facebook identity who are going to stand behind their social dating profiles on trystana’s website.
The ribbon at the bottom of the page highlights our key services and fairly unique features like Matchmaking, awarding more visibility to our active members and our privacy statement. Simply go to our social dating website and hover your mouse over each item in the ribbon to read further.

Why Trystana?
Jan 3rd
Trystana is offering an easy-to-use and free-of-charge dating service with some very special twists:
• TRYSTANA MINT: Many dating sites claim to have hundreds of thousands of users, when in reality only 5-10% of these people actually use the site on a regular basis. As a reaction to the dilemma of inactive users, Trystana created The Mint System, a pioneering program that rewards active Trystana users with an online currency called Mint. The more Mint a user has, the higher their profile will appear on Trystana searches, and the more likely they will be to find love. Mint is earned quite simply by logging in regularly to Trystana, inviting friends to Trystana via email and Facebook, filling out profile information, and uploading a user photo – everything an active user would normally do. Trystana is committed to offering a singles service to and for people that are truly interested in being involved with the singles community.
• DATING LOCAL: A frequent complaint of dating site users is that they are often matched with potential partners that live in distant cities. As a reaction to the problem of distance, Trystana has pioneered a system whereby users can select a search range of 5-150 Km, ensuring that the partner they choose lives within a reasonable distance.
• FACEBOOK: Although signing up only takes two minutes via the website, there is also Trystana’s Facebook page, which is seamlessly integrated with the main Trystana site, meaning that users can register simply by adding the Trystana application to their Facebook account. Users can then check for suitable partners through Trystana while they use Facebook.
Registration with Trystana is fast and simple. Facebook users can simply add the Trystana application to their Facebook account, http://facebook.trystana.com, and they will be immediately signed up for an account. Users can also sign up through Trystana’s website.
