Call me crazy but if I want to go out to dinner I usually go with someone I already know, or at least someone I've been introduced to before. Or someone who isn't just in it for a free meal.

But new dating site Take Me To Dinner aims to cut out all of that tricky "meeting someone before you decide if you want to date them" business. Instead, you set how much you want someone to spend on your meal out (or how much you would be willing to pay -- if you're a woman it's usually the former) and then you get matched up with someone who's willing to go out with you.

You'll be no doubt devastated to discover that it's only open to UK daters so far, but if you want to replicate the site for yourself, why not stand on a street corner wearing a sign saying "will date for food"?
