I like the general design/colors. It looks non-threatening and inviting. Does it take location into account? Suggestions: -Increase the width of the content area. Things look too close together. -Try adding a drop shadow on the rounded rectangles. -The corner of the rectangles is visible over the background. Try making it a transparent png. -Try moving the "Dating Made Easy" signup box below the explanation of how the service works.

Overall, I think it has potential if you play with the design a little and give it a marketing push before VDay.

Not a comment about the service, but I was surprised at the choice of Comic Sans. Especially with the hate that font seems to receive.

Thanks for the feedback. We felt it was fitting and as mmcdan commented it is "non-threatening and inviting" which is what we want being a dating website. If it was a different industry I definitely hear you.

Thanks. Yes, when you initially register you put your zip + match radius, and also your age + desired match age range.

Great feedback on the design, I'll pass along to my designer.
