It's probably too early but, when you have the users, you should put up a dashboard with how many people are using the service. You could have something like "2436 People Are More Romantic," that would 'prove' legitimacy and verify the your premise of the site.

"Sign up and we'll send you ideas every few weeks at random intervals," sounds like "when we come up with an idea we'll send it out," it doesn't make me believe that you're committing to the site which makes me skeptical of entering my email.

Just my .02. Otherwise, I'm a fan of the idea.

The counter is in the plan but is currently an embarrassingly low number (79 and counting!).

Re: random intervals, we'll try to find a better way to express what happens, and as someone else suggested will show an example of what the email will look like.

I think we'll also add a random suggestion to the front page.

Instead of:

Sign up and we'll send you ideas every few weeks at random intervals.

---------

How about:

Sign up and we'll keep your romance spontaneous by randomly sending you ideas every few weeks.
