Cancelling Your Matchmaking Site Membership
There is only one reason why singles register with a matchmaking site: They want to find a partner. On the other hand, there are many reasons to cancel a matchmaking site membership:
- Some singles want to cancel because they have successfully found a partner and are convinced that they will never again need the services of a matchmaking service.
- They have tried to find a partner, unsuccessfully, and are now convinced that online matchmaking is simply not for them.
- They are not happy with the matchmaking service, but they will try their luck with another online matchmaking agency.
- They simply don’t have the time needed to find a partner at the moment.
By the way: at be2 we know the main reason members cancel their online matchmaking membership: More than 40% of all be2 Premium Members who are asked for their reason during the cancellation process state that they are cancelling their matchmaking membership because they have found a partner.

Which Relationship Type am I?
Take the Free Personality Types Test!
Singles should always allow themselves time to analyse their own needs in a relationship before they begin to search for a new partner and fall in love again. A personality types test can help singles to understand which relationship type they are and to find out what they need to pay attention to when they are looking for a relationship.
If relationships keep failing for the same reasons and bad relationship patterns repeat themselves, singles must be prepared to search for a cause within themselves, in order to break the pattern. Continuing to search for a relationship in the same way will only lead to more heartbreak.
Finding out more about which relationship type singles are can help them visualise personal needs, strengths and weaknesses that influence their relationships. This knowledge allows them to find a relationship with a partner who appreciates the strengths and balances out the weaknesses determined by the personality types test. Take these three easy steps to a new, happy relationship: Read more
Blog Action Day: Fight Climate Change “twogether”
This year’s Blog Action Day is focused on climate change and blogs around the world are contributing their own view on climate change and what could be done to prevent it.
As a blog on love, relationships and matchmaking, we would like to look at the effects of people living as singles vs. living in a relationship on climate change. Living “twogether” in a relationship is far more eco-friendly than living alone, so any couple living together – even without much of a green attitude – is doing more to fight climate change than a single person with the greenest intentions.
Here’s how couples contribute to the fight against climate change:
- A shared home is more environmentally friendly than individual households. A couple requires less space than two singles, which means less building, less land claimed for residential development, less CO2 emissions from construction work.
- Couples can save on heating, as they share a living space that only needs to be heated once. Also, don’t overrate the effect of body heat when you cuddle up in bed

Single Women Seek… Attached Men
It’s a truism among single women that all the best men are taken (or gay, but that’s a different matter). However, a new study on the factors that determine attraction indicates that it’s not so much the best men that are taken, but rather that the fact that men are taken makes single women thing they must be the best.
Confused? Well, the evidence the study produced is less than confusing:
184 heterosexual students, half of whom were single, participated in a study on sexual attraction and told the volunteers that a computer program would match them with an ideal partner. All the women in the study were shown the same photograph of a made-up „Mr. Right“ and all men were shown the same „Miss Perfect“. Now comes the interesting part – Read more
