> Targeted approaches don't work with online dating

What would a targeted approach to online dating be?

From GP:

> spend a week or so deeply researching where I want to work and figure out how to get there

Replace "where I want to work" with "who I want to date" and it sounds concerning.

Courting someone, winning someone over. It's done in the offline world. I haven't thought about it much when it comes to online dating. I should've been a bit sharper on that.

When it comes to dating, I always went for the high volume approach. So I really shouldn't be speaking about a targeted approach. I guess I did because I was trying too hard to draw a parallel to applying to jobs.

So my mind just went:

              applying online    online dating
  volume           1                  2
  targeted         3                  4
But perhaps quadrant 4 doesn't really exist and I really was just shoehorning approaches of applying to jobs online into online dating because I saw this 2x2 matrix.
