" &amp;quot;Have you met Melissa? You have to meet Melissa,&amp;quot; Susan Miller said excitedly at an intimate dinner in Manhattan last night. Like anyone with half a brain\u2014or any inkling of a superstitious bone in her body\u2014I do as I&amp;#039;m told when it comes to anything the superstar astrologist tells me. She was referring, of course, to the person we were all there to meet: Melissa Jones, founder and CEO of Dreamcliq, a new website that promises to offer &amp;quot;a radically new approach to online dating.&amp;quot; Instead of answering standard questions, Dreamcliq asks you to submit minimal basic info (upload a photo, give your name, age, and sexual preference), and then leaves it all to your visual sensibilities. Users create various boards to form a visual display of their personalities within categories like style and design, travel and leisure, and art and books by pulling photos from other sites and social media feeds. The result is a Pinterest-like dating collage.  Miller has partnered with the site to offer playful astrological insights on the profiles you&amp;#039;re crushing on to help you determine compatibility based on your star sign. She swears she&amp;#039;s always steered clear of offering her expertise to dating sites \u2013 &amp;quot;it can get very tacky very fast&amp;quot; \u2013 but was so taken by the beauty and concept of the site (and Jones&amp;#039; determination to get her on board) that she couldn&amp;#039;t resist.   &amp;quot;I think that when you look at someone&amp;#039;s Pinterest page, you can learn so much more about them than if you were to read a bunch of things,&amp;quot; Jones told me. &amp;quot;I just think it&amp;#039;s so awkward to make [a dating] profile. It&amp;#039;s like you&amp;#039;re just a headshot and a bunch of stats. Where&amp;#039;s the vibe? I think images express that better than words because it&amp;#039;s less literal.&amp;quot;  Getting this &amp;quot;vibe&amp;quot; Jones speaks of does come at a price. Once you find someone you &amp;quot;cliq&amp;quot; with, you&amp;#039;ll have to pay $2.50 to send that lucky someone a message (he or she can respond to you for free). The good news? If he doesn&amp;#039;t respond within a week, you get half of your money back so that you can use it toward messaging other Dreamcliq users.  I went on to create a board, trying to be as genuine as possible. The result was a few pictures of fluffy cats (because, well, I freaking love cats), hot supermodels, and some pictures of spas that looked chic. I&amp;#039;m not sure what this says about my dateability, but I did create something that is really, really pretty. And if Susan Miller thinks it&amp;#039;s a good idea\u2026 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
