A Las Vegas woman is suing an online dating service for nearly $10 million, claiming it set her up with a man who brutally attacked her. In her lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, Mary Kay Beckman accuses Match.com of failing to disclose the dangers of online dating.

Match.com, L.L.C. announced that the company is transforming the American dating experience with new, innovative features for connecting people that eliminate the distinction between online and offline dating. Rolling out nationally over the coming weeks, Match.com will launch The Stir, a service that brings single people together in thousands of events across the country, and a proprietary collection of dual-player games designed to let people get to know each other online in a fun, natural way. The games will be available to all the company's subscribers this summer, and the Stir will begin rolling out in more than 20 U.S. cities by June and nationwide by September. Members can learn about and sign up for these events via the company, and subscribers can even invite friends and bring them along as an added benefit. At each local event, attendees can leverage their mobile devices by checking in and receiving special offers from the venues on food and beverages. Over the coming months, the company plans to introduce other ways for online elements to enhance the event experience, such as the ability to invite other members to an event, create in-event engagement, and re-connect online afterward. As part of an ongoing beta program, the company has organized 60 Stir events across 10 U.S. markets to date. The response has been tremendous, and the initiative will accelerate by September to include over 200 events each month, with thousands of people participating every week.
