LOS ANGELES, CA, January 02, 2011

Flavor Connect is a novelty online dating community with an ultra cool twist. It introduces the concept of 'flavor dating' where local singles achieve compatibility via select flavors coding for various types of relationships.

Everyone likes ice cream, right? At least that's what K.C. Ridgeway, founder and CEO of Flavor Connect believes. "Imagine stepping inside of an ice cream or sorbet parlor and having that giddy feeling of picking the flavor of your choice and savoring the variety. We thought it would be pretty cool to channel that same excitement into online mate selection and enhance the user experience while also stimulating the sense of taste. Friends affectionately call us the Baskin-Robbins of matchmaking." Ridgeway proclaims.

Only instead of 31 flavors they have 6. The chosen ones are:

•Strawberry-Fling (short-term hookup)
•Vanilla-Fidelity (long-term hookup)
•Lime-Fancy (material hookup)
•Chocolate-Fantasy (uninhibited hookup)
•Lemon-Friendship (platonic hookup)
•Mango-Freestyle (go-with-the-flow hookup)

Ridgeway acknowledges that dating site goers carry different expectations and a misunderstanding of needs and desires online can often lead to a poor match offline. Flavor dating helps alleviate that problem with each member displaying their flavor of choice on their profile to lure like-minded single guys and girls.

According to Gary Kremen, founder and former CEO of Match.com, "a dating site's success hinges upon its ability to attract women. Dressing up female members' expectations as flavors is also a gentler way for them to communicate that they want commitment (Vanilla), sex (Chocolate), to make and chat with friends online (Lemon), or experience the finer things in life (Lime)," Ridgeway adds.

Flavor Connect also provides the latest online dating community features including, profile alerts, chat, video and audio messaging, and assorted virtual gifts for flirts-all totally free for a limited time. Dating and relationship advice is also given to subscribers in the blog section titled Sweet Talk. Both the concept and colorful design of the site itself might seem to appeal to a younger demographic, but Ridgeway insists all ages are welcome. "There's something to satisfy everyone's palate here and our motto is 'Bringing singles together...one flavor at a time.'" Here's one site that doesn't seem to be going stale anytime soon.
