That time you went on a date with someone you thought was boring? It wasn't you. You weren't having a bad night. You weren't tired. They truly were boring.
You should have used Loveflutter, the new dating site that only admits "interesting" singles and aims to "match you with awesome people who share the same interests."
It seems a lot of fascinating people have suffered dull dates. Since launching in the spring, Loveflutter has more than 2,000 members, evenly split between New York and London.
The catch? You have to pass a 10-question quiz just to sign up.

Each answer gives you a different score: 3 points for most interesting; 1 point for least interesting — and if you score below 65 percent, you'll be turned away. (Potential users can game the system by retaking the test, as often as they'd like, with more "interesting" answers to questions, which include number of books read.)
"It may be an easier test for New Yorkers," says Daigo Smith, the site's founder. "They go to a lot of music gigs and other cultural events."
We already knew New Yorkers were naturally more intriguing. But what does "being interesting" mean?
The creators turned to Dr. Simon Moore of the British Psychological Society to help create the test. He says four traits, including risk-taking and curiosity, make up a captivating personality: "Being interesting is about life experience. You can say, 'Last weekend, I bungee jumped.' "
The site suggests dates based on members who have similar tastes in books, movies and TV shows. "Common interests are a natural icebreaker," says Jo Hemmings, Loveflutter's relationship expert. Try the test yourself:
