I think you need to add an explanation of the site, the concept, and address how it works. I think most people may be scared away by not having a good understanding of how it works, especially being that it has to do with their personal lives.

...and that it requires giving access to all sorts of Facebook permissions when all the user knows about the site beforehand is "LuckyChat - Connect with someone special"

A general concern that I would have is that there have been various websites over the years that address this problem (the first one I remember was called something like CrushMail back in 1999 or so and the most recent was the pivot made by Breakup Notifier after Facebook shut them down (http://apps.ycombinator.com/item?id=2264660)). But often, they end up being mostly a way for people to spam their friends instead of people getting value out of it. (Typically, they ask you to enter email addresses of who you think has a crush on you. The site then uses that information to notify those people that someone has a crush on them. So when you find a 'match' it could just be that both people entered the others' name on there thinking that they might be the one to have a crush on them.)

Comments like these is why I love HN. Thanks!
Agreed. Would be great to get a different domain name also, not a fan of .biz.
Potential solution: LuckyCh.at
