A couple of Stanford students has recently announced their dating app for the Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone. It’s called Heydar and it’s the work of Mark Kieling, Shahryar Khan, Matthew Pease, and Matthew Lawyer.
The application prides itself with ease of use. You browse around people in your proximity who also have Heydar installed on their iPhones, and simply hit “hey” (hence the name “Heydar”) to introduce yourself. Once the other party responds with “hey” as well, you can start connecting. All talk afterwards doesn’t have much to do with technology, but with your social skills.
For an instant ice-breaker, it sounds like a winner. It will be available as a free download through AppStore as soon as it’s approved by Apple…

Another cute iPhone app for those in the dating world is Rate-My-Date. It shows a beating heart (your “date pulse”) that can be made faster or slower with a slider at the bottom of the screen. When the heart beats, a “bleep” sound like an EKG plays, and if the dates goes sour, it turns into a flat line with the famous monotone warning sound from various hospital shows.
This thing is a great ice breaker and gets a laugh every time.
