I haven't created an account to try it out but I have spent some time browsing your main page, features page, and sign-up form.

Your information is presented cleanly and looks good. I wasn't sure about the background at first but after a few minutes looking at the site I've decided I like it.

Heres what I really love: "We want you to have a date next weekend" and "Start on Monday, have a date by Saturday". That's a very powerful message, almost a promise, and if I had come across the site whilst actually looking for a date it would definitely make me spend some time there.

I like your idea too - it seems to make sense that spending more time sharing messages etc with a small group of people over time is more likely to yield a connection than searching a database of thousands of people and spamming them with requests to hook up.

I have bookmarked your site and will refer back to see how you do over time. Good luck :)

I like "Start on Monday, Have a Date By Sunday" better. It sounds more pleasing to the tongue (since it rhymes). The phrase they use now is semantically nice, but not as stylistically pleasing.

Except, who goes out on a Sunday - the Day of Rest?

I know, many people, but still, conventions are important and Saturday is still the conventional "fun day".
