When they communicate with each other they can discus their reports. I have also thought of having someone program a matching up script to match people based on different astrological configurations. That is something I would invest in if I can build the site up first and revenue is generated. For now the site is to attract a common interest in Astrology, whether they are just a simple observer of the art or a full on professional Astrologer. There are millions of people who are casual observers that can read our reports and get enough information to get to know who they are dating. Thank you for the suggestions!! I will make note of all suggestions.
In my opinion, the matching up script to match people based on different astrological configurations is a MUST. Otherwise it's just going to be a bunch of charts floating around. Whether it matches them based on the person's stated aspect preferences or the program's use of various systems of astro compatibility, the matching up script is a must. Anyway, best of luck to you whatever you decide. An astro dating site is an idea whose time has come. Don't be discouraged by the negativities. There are too many people interested in astrology in this world for me to believe people wouldn't be interested in joining. The first person to offer a site that's versatile and comprehensive will hit gold. IP: Logged |

Well, the report was actually nice. Not too long, not too short, common-sense but with a tinge of freshness to it - or so it seemed to me. Truth be told, I haven't read textbook interps in a while now, that might factor to it too. I liked the writing style, straightforward but not too crude. I could imagine sharing the info with my boyfriend (I am actually going to send it to him lol). I actually DO this with a romantic interest in the first stages of the relationship! But, Scott, man, you can't stop there! There's only so much you can discuss over an astrological report! Belage's suggestion is good! Also, if you can, add astrological filters! Like maybe I want to search for a man with Sun in the 8th house today, to spice things up! And obviously I cannot contain my enthusiasm for the Virgo Marses. I would date those exclusively! lol And so much more.. I liked the idea behind the project and would like to see this succeed - because I am exhausted reading/hearing about dramatic, draining relationships from unhappy, unfulfilled people. I understand you need to grow from somewhere and that's okay - just don't stop there, all I'm saying. IP: Logged |

I definitely do not plan to stop here! :-) I just launched this the other day after finding a way to advertise here. Facebook is blocking all dating sites from advertising, otherwise I would have already started to advertise to astrologers there. I will be talking to astrology programmers. Thank you! Scott

Hello TheUnknown, Thank you for alerting me to this. Indeed the edit profile feature does not allow you to change your gender for some reason. The Gender does work if selected from the beginning, I just tested it for both male and female. I will ask the creator of the script why you cannot change it after it is created. If you like I can delete your profile and you can sign up from the start with the correct gender?Thank you, Scott IP: Logged |

Hi Scott, I would like to wait to see if this can be changed. I suppose there are people who go through gender transformation and such and most people don't have a reason to report their gender incorrectly. So this option should be left up for editing... But let me know if this is a technical issue and I will let you delete my account. Thanks!

Hi TheUnknown, the Gender is tied to the user name upon registration. I suppose if someone wants to have a sex change they would need to create a new profile with their new Gender and name just like Bruce turned into Caitlyn etc.Haven't put much thought into people having sex changes on the website but it DOES happen. Maybe I need to add a transgender option later if I get any requests for it. Let me know your user name and I can delete it, there are a few who signed up and I dont want to delete the wrong account. Thanks Scott IP: Logged |

Hi Scott....I might try to join although I'm seeing someone I'm interested in how you will run charts or match ppl up. I've always thought the first thing is sun/moon compatability esp DW aspects....I noticed your phrase "bear your soul" should be "bare your soul" sorry...I have a virgo moon. Quoted from site... "What is the Astrology Dating Club? The Astrology Dating Club was designed for those who are willing to bear their Astrological Soul to potential friends, lovers or dates." IP: Logged |

Hi Gabby! I just fixed "Bare your soul". We are providing Natal Charts, Natal Reports, and even Synastry reports to all members. Then you can use this Astrological information to Bare your Soul to your partner! As of now we are not Matching anyone up Astrologically BUT I am seeking programmers now to make this a feature on the website in the future. The idea is to search by a particular aspect, planet in sign etc. Something Astrology software already provides, but the trick is to have this data read from all the profiles. Our expectation is to attract thousands of people interested in building relationships and are enthusiastic about Astrology. They should be excited about studying the person's astrology as they get to know who they are. Then when the Karma hits the fan they can work through in hopes to make it a Co-creative relationship! Thank you, Scott IP: Logged |

For starters, there are too many inactive links. Also, why 2 "menu"? I think, you really rushed into this. You should have waited until proper testing was done. I guess, you created it yourself? Unlike many people here, I like an idea of astro dating. I see it can be popular. Just maybe try to hire a professional for your website. Things, that were mentioned in my original post, are really basic mistakes, that would not be made by someone experienced. I understand, it will be a pay service since November? Well, it's not a secret, the first impression is the most important 
Good luck again! IP: Logged |

Thank you Liliya! You must be looking at the mobile version or narrowing the browser to force the responsiveness to create the second menu. I am aware of that issue on mobile devices but it will not show up on desktops as long as the browser is not resized really small. As for paying a Pro to work for me? I went bankrupt this year, my business of 15 years fell apart, finances are a complete disaster, so paying someone now cannot happen. Yes I am doing this myself and whatever direction this goes I will let it go in. It will either work or not. As for the responsive issue in making the second menu I will be looking into that more. Thank you for your tips! Scott IP: Logged |

Sorry to hear about your financial problems. Hopefully, it will get better soon. Seems like we are your testing team here then You are doing great, by not taking our critisism as personal attacks, and making notes instead. I like your positiveness! It's a great trait to have! Take your time and fix problems as you go. Btw, there is a good service called Fiver. You can build website and do graphic design cheap enough (just read reviews first). Best of luck

Hi Liliya! Might as well critique my main Astrology website that I built and designed too: http://www.allaboutyouastrology.com The wordpress theme works better on that site. I can always switch themes but the dating theme was suppose to work nicely with the dating plugin so I purchased the theme because I figured it would work better. I will see what happens when I switch themes and it may fix the stupid menu issue. IP: Logged |

Aww Scott, sorry to hear about your financial issues. I do admire your get up and go personality, it is an asset, but please allow the Virgo in me to tell you that even though perfection doesn't exist, one should strive for perfection before offering a service/good. First impression is so important. Jupiter is going to be in Virgo for the next 12 months so Virgoans qualities are going to be highlighted. Additionally, we are due to have a venus and mars conjunct Jupiter in Virgo soon. The Force is with Virgos and all things Virgoans right now.  That being said, perhaps you can raise the financial support to get your business going on the right footing, before someone else goes ahead and starts a better astro dating site. I wish you so much good luck!  IP: Logged |

You guys are great! Thank you for the support! Do you want to have some fun and see how accurate Astrology really is! This past year has been the most difficult year of my life and every detail is covered in my Solar Return at this link: http://www.allaboutyouastrology.com/images-misc/FredemanScott-2015-SolarReturn.JPG You will see Good Ole Pluto in my 10th house bringing my comfortable business to it's knees to create something new in the near future. You will see Saturn in the 8th house of finance and financial partnerships square Mars and Neptune. My business involved a 50-50 business partner. Heck my wife even asked for a divorce last month and we are tied up financially together since she doesn't work yet. Uranus in the first house suggests a possible divorce as stated in Mary Shea's book, "Planets in the Solar Return". South Node close to the Ascendant in the first house also a strong placement as the next point to rise indicating Karma ready to flow :-) I am Scorpio rising in my birth chart with Pluto ruling my chart and Pluto in 11th squares Venus tightly in my second house. Hence the shocking relationship and financial issues. In 2007 I divorced my first wife for having an affair and giving birth to 2 children that I raised as my own. Astrology is shockingly real in my life and that's why I became one. Just can't ignore the obvious patterns it shows! Why am I so positive? I have been through a lot of stuff in my life and have learned how to transcend Karma as I go through it. I forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive and what else? FORGIVE Until all Karma is washed away! Thanks again for your support! It's cool to chat with other Astrology enthusiasts! Scott IP: Logged |

Forewarned is good. Don't do like I did, decide impulsively to travel for my bday without checking the friggin' solar return chart for the new location! Like Scott, I am having the worst year of my life so far. My Mom died suddenly 3 months ago, I lost my job, my aunt got cancer and had a mastectomy less than 2 weeks ago, I'm worried about my career and my finances and so confused about what I should do to get out of this mess, and on top of everything I'm not entirely sure about my relationship. Scott, I am sorry you're having such troubles. I'm pretty positive that you'll find a way out of them. I think you have the right attitude to help you through. Where's your NN btw? IP: Logged |
