Membership fees are possible, but I get the sense that users would balk at paying "entry fees" for their dates.
It's also possible that local restaurants/attractions could sponsor certain dates (i.e offer kickbacks), but the site would have to be sending a LOT of dates per week to any given place for those kickbacks to materialize.
A third idea might be to take the community of active daters you have created and host paid events periodically. For example, for users who enjoy nightlife, you could have a blowout bash with a cover charge. For users who enjoy classic movies, you could have a wine tasting and a screening of a classic movie.
I'm sure there are better ideas out there for paid events, but you get the idea.
