How to date

In many ways, online matchmaking is not that different from dating offline. You need to present yourself well, communicate thoughtfully, be honest and be active. However, when you use all the features a matchmaking service offers, you increase your chances of finding the love of your life. Here’s how to make online matchmaking work for you, step by step:

What’s in a name? Your username is the first thing other be2 members see, so choose wisely. A name that is too generic is unlikely to generate interest, so it’s a good idea to choose a username that’s original, funny, romantic, even a little quirky, as long as it is an accurate reflection of your personality.

Picture this! When a partner recommendation finds your profile appealing, they will want to see a picture of you. You decide who gets to see your picture and it’s up to you what other members see when you release your picture. Choose a photo that you really like, but ask a friend’s opinion if you’re unsure.

Show off! Your online matchmaking profile lets other members find out more about your background, interests and views. Use this opportunity to present yourself to others. Put some thought into your answers and let your personality shine through.

Get in touch! An online matchmaking site can help you find your perfect match. However, once you have been introduced to members who are well suited to you, it’s up to you to take the next step. Get in touch with members who have caught your eye and find out which one of them is your perfect match.

Tell no lies... It is in your own best interest to be honest in your online matchmaking profile. After all, you are trying to find the person who is right for you. Honesty will find you the person who loves you the way you are.
