I have read different posts and not sure I really understand your model. The different suggestions you have made across the certain posts, leads me to believe you are going about this the most expensive way. Which you intend to pay for by having folks donate their time.
Which the computer sciences are some of the highest paying jobs so anyone who donates to help you would for sure have to share in your selfsame vision.
You don't seem keen on pastors and churches. Which sinks my idea for you. I was gonna suggest to save yourself all the expense you will acquire with the model you have put forth. Would be to go to the local single groups at the churches in your area and speak to whoever leads that ministry.
Sell them on the idea of partnering with them in the ministry of finding spouses for the body. Get a few churches to buy into your vision and you can avoid platforms like facebook where they could kick you off their platform. More or less you would be a add on to already existing church websites.
It would link the various singles at local churches in the area. Doing so would also solve your expense of doing checks to vet a individual. Anyone who signs up is also going to be aware that others from their church will be doing so. So should solve your problem of people lying on their profile about their status. Since people who know them personally also will be on the site.
I would take this kind of approach cause would only need a few churches and single ministries to buy into it. Will give you a chance to work out the problems that always come from the not knowing what you don't know. As you workout the unknows you will begin to prove your model and get some success stories. Then you get the bonus of volunteer recruiters as pastors and single leaders themselves would share what they are a part of to other pastors and singles leaders and your growth to make this bigger than just local would solve itself as what you are doing gets out to churches of the body world over through word of mouth. Then those churches would just add this ministry to their own websites.
I think something along these lines would fit the model you are seeking but again not sure I totally understand your model. This way would be slower but your growth would be organic and your cost minimal. However, if you are not to keen on other churches or pastors this would not work for what you are trying to do which is give the body a wider view of who around them may be seeking to find a spouse in the body of Christ.
Anyway whatever ya chose good luck to ya.
