Well, I launched today an anonymous chat made with socket.io & express (node.js).
It took me 3 days from 0 to 1.
For a dating site, I strongly recommend a live messaging, no one is going to be refreshing the site to get notifications unless is for a hot girl which is not the case for almost every dating site/app on the market (All these apps are full of D**s).
You can go to GitHub and surf a lot of projects about chats/tinder clones or even Instagram clones which some of them have a full DM system working, so you can 'crawl/steal/cannibalize' some snipes of their codes or at least get a good idea of how everything works with socket.io
I don't even have a good experience with node.js but for some reason, many things I do with ruby that take me like a week, here with node.js is just a matter of hours.

Just give it a try :)
great. I'll try and find some clones. good luck with your own launch.
mine is less like a chat room, but instead like a 1:1 based chat.
