Short version of what worked for a dating chat:

Sean is closer to it than the rest of this thread on a dating chat.i tried it myself with a dating chat: a fair bit different once the novelty wore off.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of a dating chat.

Partly agree — a dating chat can hold up, that said not for the reason stated.
