The Short Version: is the kind of gamer dating site that Co-Founders Casey Tebo and Patrick Rafferty wanted to see in the world when they were single. After years of finding these niche dating sites to be cheesy and unprofessional, they decided to take the leap and develop their own version. The result was LFGdating. In contrast to the over-the-top sites that turned Casey and Patrick off, LFGdating is realistic, sophisticated, fun, streamlined, and easy to use. When Co-Founders Casey Tebo and Patrick Rafferty were single and interested in meeting fellow gamers, they turned to gaming-focused dating sites. But what they discovered about those sites is that most of them were unprofessional and corny. They felt as though they could make a better option themselves. Casey, who was a high school teacher and coach at the time, had a big decision to make. He could either stay at his job, or he could cut back and develop a one-of-a-kind dating site with Patrick. When Patrick asked if Casey was really serious about this, Casey said he was. They had to sincerely commit. From there, LFGdating began taking shape. The friends created a business plan in 2010 and officially launched the site in 2012. LFGdating became the kind of dating site that Casey and Patrick sought when they were interested in online dating. The younger members are around 18, while the older members are well into their 60s. The oldest user ever registered was 86. In 2012, after his first advertising campaign, Casey was sure that the site would attract more male users than female users. LFGdating remains popular with single gamers because it offers them the features they truly want. LFGdating also offers other cool features like read receipts and the ability to search by gaming console or genre of game. Recently, LFGdating even added a lifetime subscription. As free and paid features are added to the site, these users will have continual access to them all. Casey and Patrick are proud and humbled by the fact that they help people find love. Both Patrick and Casey take care of most of the complaints, even if speaking with users takes up some of their own personal time. Before adding new features, too, Patrick and Casey return to their philosophy that LFGdating should retain its polished and useful feel. Looking toward the future, Casey and Patrick will continue to ensure that every decision they make stays true to their users. LFGdating has been so successful that both men devote a lot of their time to managing and developing it. People who love to game. If we can do those two things every day, LFGdating has the chance to be something truly special.
