Spray Date was an online dating website run by Spray Network AB. It was founded on 1999 as the first dating site in Sweden.[1] In the first 10 years, 450,000 members went on a date and 150,000 had started a relationship with someone they met on Spraydate.[1] It was mostly free, but for a fee, users got access to larger images and more search options. Spray Date was discontinued in 2013 when match.com acquired the site. Its users were then migrated to the main match.com[1] site itself.

Overview

[edit]

The site was available in several countries and the Swedish version had at its peak over 700 000 members (August 2008)[2] and was at the time the largest dating site in Sweden.[3] The average age of the members was between 25–49. Seventy percent of members claimed that they have gone on a date with someone from the site; while a third claimed that they met their partner via the site.[3]

Spray Date has also arranged cruises for singles.[4] Spray date was only available in Swedish.[citation needed]
