AZ- my suggestion is that people should look at it as a chesed just like people visit the sick, etc. Nothing personal, but I don’t think paying people for dates is the key to motivating them. Teach them that its a chesed. Let’s have a “Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation” focused on teaching people to work on shidduchim. Let’s have a “Machsom LiPI” focused on spending time making shidduchim. The way to crack this nut is to inspire people with great mitzva. Paying for dates is a good idea for high school teachers of others in chinuch, but for the hamon am it should be about being insipred to do a chessed.
