Looks nice, but the text reads as if it was written by a non-native speaker of English, or at least someone who is not really sensitive to the nuances of the language. I suggest you run the site past a few people who are sensitive.

A few quick thoughts:

(1) A comma is not a clause separator.

Life is complicated.

We made dating simple.

(2) Actually, I think "We make dating simple" sounds better.

(3) Truffle accesses, not access.

(4) "Folks" sounds a little odd to me.

Ah thanks for the insights, true I am not a native speaker. Will run it tomorrow with couple of people here.

Nice looking website, but don't you think it's a bit weird to use a LinkedIn profile for dating? LinkedIn is like the one place on the internet where you have to act professional. I don't even like it when my personal life overlaps with LinkedIn so I Can't even begin to imagine myself feeling comfortable using it for dating.

Thanks :) LinkedIn is just an authentication mechanism for us make sure that the user is a working professional. We don't post anything on your LinkedIn profile.

Doesn't matter. I would never use my main linkedin account to login, and I won't bother to create a(nother) linkedin account just to access your service. Nor would I ever want to date a 'working professional'. Sorry, not for me but best of luck with it. Hope it works for you.

So I get the emotions about not mixing your professional and personal life. But tell me how do you meet people then? Do you meet at the coffee shop or at the bars. Most of the guys are shy and need some kind of platform for the first conversation.

There is also an element of trust for girls to go on a blind date with a guy whom she knows works in some reputed company.
