New website flirtmeup aims to unite lost flings
Comments |
Have you
ever flirted fleetingly with a stranger and desperately wished you
knew how to make contact?
It’s a scenario that Rita
Macari has tried to solve with her new business Flirtmeup which aims to
reunite people who shared a special moment but parted without name
or telephone number.
The Dover-based mother-of-two
learned business skills from her parents’ fish and chip shop and
coffee bar.
She thought a website that enabled
people to trace that mystery person would provide a valuable
service. It could even have just involved eye contact.
Rita recalls the experience of a
friend who told her of a brief conversation with a man she met
at the airport but parted with just his first name. "She is still
wondering to this day if she will ever meet this mystery man
again.
"There are many scenarios of this
kind and I am confident that the website that I have created will
be beneficial for many people."
In 2002, Rita was chosen for the
New Entrepreneur Scholarship scheme - now defunct - that gave
enterprising people from disadvantaged areas advice and funding to
set up their own business.
"I wouldn’t necessarily say this is
a flirting website," she says, "but a way to reunite and develop a
relationship between two people that never happened.
"It’s not a site that allows you to
connect with random people that you have never encountered, but
just for people who have actually seen each other and want to
evolve that relationship."
