IAC/InterActiveCorp, the Internet holding company controlled by billionaire Barry Diller, acquired the dating and media assets of This Life Inc.’s HowAboutWe service, which suggests things to do on romantic outings.

The deal excludes the Brooklyn-based startup’s HowAboutWe for Couples business, Sam Yagan, chief executive officer of IAC’s Match Group, said yesterday. He declined to discuss the transaction further. Jade Clark and Ariana Anthony, spokespeople for HowAboutWe, didn’t return requests for comment.
