It seems like maybe what we want is to allow users to submit any question they want about a pair of daters, and then we can see which kinds of markets attract traders. Instead of trying to figure out what the right market structure is top-down, just let a thousand flowers bloom, and let people create the markets that are most interesting to them.

This seems like it might be a moderation nightmare. But, maybe the daters themselves have to approve the market, before it goes live, for decency reasons.

(Maybe in the longer run, daters can have a dash-board of what kinds of markets they're comfortable with. ie "Yes to questions about who I'll be in relationships with, but no to questions about one-night stands". This could have some tasteful defaults, and people have to opt into there being markets about what sex-acts they'll engage in. )
