BROAD VISIBILITY OF YOUR PROFILE

There’s more to Match than just Match. Register with us, create your perfect
online dating profile and so you don’t miss out on a chance to find that special
someone, your profile can be made visible to members of our dating services for
the over 50s or single parents if you’re part of categories of singles they
address and you consented to it. That means you will increase your chances of
being contacted!

For more information about your profile visibility click here.


TRUST AND SAFETY

We want Match to be a fun, safe online dating site where you can meet serious,
committed singles ready for a real relationship. The safety of our clients is
our top priority, and we work hard to keep our site safe. We moderate every
single profile picture and description on our site, and the protection of your
personal data is our priority.

Plus if you ever feel uncomfortable about a profile or a message you receive you
can always block or report a member to our moderators. They’ll be happy to help.
We also have lots of tips about making sure you stay safe while you’re using our
site and when you decide it’s time to meet in real life. Just take a look in our
help centre.


CYBER-BULLYING LEADS NOWHERE. LEAST OF ALL TO LOVE.

Match is fighting cyber-bullying to give you a safer dating experience.
If you receive messages which make you feel uncomfortable, you can:
 * - Report a profile to alert the Moderation and Safety team.
 * - Block a profile to avoid being contacted by that person again.

WANT TO BE MORE IN CONTROL?

With Match, you’re in charge. You can visit singles’ profiles without alerting
them, or set your preferences so you can only be contacted by singles who match
your search criteria. The choice is yours!

Choose “Incognito Mode”

Incognito mode is your online dating superpower. It lets you view other people’s
profiles discreetly – they won’t know you’ve visited – and ensures you only
appear to people you know you’re interested in. Which means less hassle – and
more chance of finding a date!

Opt for “Zen Mode”

Zen mode is great when you need a little peace and quiet. Activate it and only
people who match your criteria will be able to contact you – so you know they’re
worth a look.


HERE AT MATCH, WE PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE.

Every day, you’ll be sent personalised selections of singles’ profiles by email
and via our push notifications. Check out our recommendations wherever you are –
don’t let love pass you by!


HOW TO ENCOUNTER DATING?


YOU ARE THREE STEPS AWAY FROM DATING YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE


TELL US WHO YOU ARE!

Talk about yourself. The secret? Be natural, honest and spontaneous. A few lines
are enough to make an impression.

Why not add a bit of humour, too?
Be precise: the more search criteria you complete, the greater your chances are
of being contacted by singles who share the same interests as you.

Share your photos. Create an album that reflects your personality.


FIND THE RIGHT PERSON

Meet the person who’s right for you thanks to our detailed search.

Discover our personalised selection of detailed dating profiles.

Come and meet other singles at our Match evenings and activities.


DISCUSS

Don’t know how to kick start the conversation?

Tell them about the little details that attracted you to their online dating
profile or discuss your shared interests.

Or be creative and share a music link, or a GIF!

Read our advice articles to make your profile as attractive as possible and find
tips on how to break the ice.

HOW DO YOU SHOW YOU’RE READY FOR A REAL STORY?


BE CALM. BE KIND. BE YOURSELF.

Online dating may have led to an increase in casual dating and hook-up culture.

But people looking to meet singles on Match have chosen our service because
they’re ready to start a real story. So how do you make sure someone you meet
online understands you’re serious, and how do you establish those expectations?

The secret isn’t really a secret, and it’s something you’ve almost certainly
been told before. The key is to be yourself, be kind and be calm. And it all
starts with writing your profile.

Discover mature dating on Match and browse senior singles on our website.

Think about the sort of person you would like to share a long-term relationship
with.

Looks matter, for sure. But the chances are you would choose someone who is
genuine, considerate, interested in you and who makes you laugh. There’s nothing
wrong with that: it’s the most human thing of all: we want to be with people who
make us happy.

When you write your online dating profile, make sure you’re the sort of person
you would want to be with. Try to resist the temptation to talk just about
yourself: make it clear you’re interested in other people too. What would you
like to do together with your date? What do you enjoy in people? Show that you
are someone who is great company, not just someone who expects people want to be
with them.

LANGUAGE MATTERS WHEN YOU’RE ONLINE DATING!


WORDS OF LOVE AND EVERYDAY LIFE

Don’t be afraid of words! All the new casual dating sites that have appeared
recently have transformed the game of seduction into something like a video
game.

The result? Many singles have given up dating altogether as it is just too
exhausting! However, many singles are looking for serious, deeper and more
authentic encounters and a long-term relationship.

The key to this new demand for authenticity is through words. Yes, even in the
instant world of online dating, words are what really count.

Let’s start with the words you use to describe yourself. They say a picture is
worth a thousand words, but our singles consistently tell us that a profile
description matters more to them than a photo***.

It’s important, especially on a serious dating site, that you take the time to
make your written presentation as good as it can be, and reveal your true self
honestly and carefully.

And words can break the ice! It can be hard to introduce yourself to a single
you find interesting; it is always difficult to find the right way to approach
them and find THE message that will attract their attention. Anyone can write
‘hello’, but is it going to make you stand out from the crowd during your
encounters? In dating first impressions count, and the first words you exchange
online can make all the difference.

Finally, words say a lot during a first date in real life.

Looks really aren’t everything, and when you’re finally face-to-face in front of
a person, you can’t hide behind your screen any more! But rest assured, people
generally prefer good humour to good looks on a first date, and they want
someone with whom they can share an interesting conversation. The most important
thing is to be yourself and stay as natural as possible.
