Spray Date was an online dating website run by Spray Network AB. It was founded in 1999 as the first dating site in Sweden. [1] In the first 10 years, 450,000 members went on a date and 150,000 had started a relationship with someone they met on Spraydate. [1] It was mostly free, but for a fee, users got access to larger images and more search options. Spray Date was discontinued in 2013 when match.com acquired the site. Its users were then migrated to the main match.com [1] site itself.
