來認識一下任陸游 (Ren Lu You,音譯) 吧。他是位住在美國的29歲單身漢。他表示,如果你可以幫他找到一個女朋友的話,他會付你$10,000美金 (約31萬台幣)。
![Meet Ren Lu You. He's a 29-year-old living in Birmingham, Alabama, and if you can find him a girlfriend he will pay you $10,000.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/enhanced-18251-1436220113-1.png)

不,我是認真的。他架設了一個網站,讓大家可以推薦自己的親朋好友去跟他約會。如果這段戀情維持超過6個月,他就會付現金給推薦人。
![No, seriously. He has set up a website where people can submit their friends or family members to go on a date with him. If the relationship lasts for six months, he says he will reward the referrer with cold, hard cash.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/enhanced-1799-1436220228-13.png)

他說,在他搬到伯明罕並開始跟人約會之後,他覺得約會實在是太沒有效率了!因此,他開始想辦法要改善約會的步驟,也有了架設這個網站的想法。
![You told BuzzFeed News he got the idea to start the website after moving to Birmingham and going on a string of dates. He said he began thinking of ways to improve the dating process, which he called "monstrously inefficient."](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/enhanced-12307-1436220480-26.png)

他開始想些新奇的方法來改善這個古老的問題,在思索了一番後,他想到了成立跟他約會的網站:DateRen.com。他認為這個新穎的想法應該會有用。
![After doing some brainstorming, he came up with the idea for DateRen.com. "It’s at least novel and it seems like it may work," he said.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/enhanced-5064-1436220569-2.png)

這個網站才成立了一星期左右,但他已經收到了如「洪水」一般的推薦申請。
![The website has only been up a week, and You has already received a "deluge" of submissions.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/enhanced-16587-1436220711-7.png)

其中,有半數以上的申請人都是推薦自己、因此沒有合乎賞金的資格,也有人說他們不想要錢。他已經跟一些經由這個網站牽線的女生出去約會過了,約會的過程都跟一般約會差不多,而且都感覺還不賴,也排定了更多的約會。
![And he's already gone on a few dates with women from his website, which he said have gone pretty well. He has more scheduled, too. “It's been a pretty normal dating process,” he said.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/enhanced-12616-1436220794-2.png)

他的終極目標很簡單:找到一個很棒的人並成為那個人的男朋友。
![His ultimate goal is simple: He said he is just hoping to "find somebody really great and be their boyfriend."](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/enhanced-4022-1436220954-2.png)

他說給賞金這件事其實真的沒那麼奇怪,尤其是當你想想那些你為了找到心靈伴侶而願意做的事。此外他也說:「人們其實也願意為了許多更不重要的事而花上大筆的錢。 」
