(Would have been more romantic had it been created for a single lady. I'm glad you can change the asker's name as well, otherwise it was just a website optimised for one guy to cycle through an infinite number of rejections.)

Let's not confuse 'Hacker' with simply being a 'Geek'. I'd hate to improperly elevate one, or reduce the other. Static HTML?...maybe even the term 'Dork' is more appropriate.
I love that you can change the name. Way to optimize for the unknown!!
Wow, this is one case where a hijacking URL shortener actually comes in handy... the non-hacker girl will think it's just for her!
Ah, it doesn't work for compound names (like Mary Beth). Hyphens and underscores still come through. :(
Thought this was slightly entertaining. But I can't recommend this method to anyone trying to impress a non-tech girl, or one that won't see it as slightly humorous.
The non-tech girl will not be interested or impressed.
The tech girl will not be pleased to see her name can be changed to anything with a different URL.
Not a good plan!

I beg to differ. I just found this little gem and asked out every single latent crush I have. All yeses every single one of them, I'm telling you guys it can't fail guys. Now this is going to a crazy formal :-/. I didn't really think about that while I was asking.
I recently put together a (very) basic website for my wife, that allows me to put little 'thinking of you' cards on it for her to see. It's fairly rudimentary, but she loves it.
When I went to her office to take her out to lunch the other day, I was shocked to see that she had printed out each of the cards (basically business card format) and taped them to her wall.
I've been thinking of expanding the idea and allowing for logins (as it currently has zero backend code, just HTML for the page and JS/AJAX to see browse the archive), but thought it might be fairly one-off.
This has just changed my mind.

Ooh! Give it a twitter @somethinorother listener and an auto-refresh tag so she can just leave it up and you can twitter a new message in anytime. Dammit, now I'm inspired too. Just when I thought I might get free time...
And just a few days after Valentine's Day too ;-)
It wouldn't work with the format it's in, as they're images, not text. I mean, they're mostly textual images, but they're images, just the same.
I've found it's actually done wonders for my Photoshop skills too, as it has taught me better use of typography, color theory, and (as I got bored with the simplistic format) more actual graphic design technique as I started incorporating backgrounds (some lifted from others, some hand-drawn) to them as well.

Bah. A real hacker would have used a .me domain, eliminating the .com
excuse my ignorance, but is a "Formal"?

Edit:
<script> works to some limited extent although I've discovered Chrome will refuse to run such scripts. Can't seem to get the error message to show up again, something along the lines of "script contents seen in location. Will not run".
Which is probably a good thing.
