I only spent a few seconds on it: The color scheme is not exactly attractive. Especially for a dating site.

Hi, and thanks for replying. We're still tweaking some stuff, but what kind of color scheme did you have in mind?

1. I'm not sure I understand how you're differentiating your approach. More in-person stuff, less online chatting? Why should someone switch?

2. "Real connection happens in person" is slightly hard for my brain to parse, because "connection" is abstract. "Real connections happen in person" is easier to parse (but might sound cheesy).

1. Interacting with people through text is different from interacting with them in person. People are just naturally wired to express themselves better in person. That's our opinion.

2. Ah, the grammar nazi in you is strong. Your correction sounds better to us (cheesiness aside).

Definitely something more bright!
