Frequently Asked Questions

My Matches

How will I get my matches

You just log into our web site after the event (with the user name and password you have received when you booked) and input your own selections. If you've followed step 2 (completed your profile) before the event it will improve your chances of a match.

The web site matching system enables you to view a profile of the people that attended, check your matches and send them one message with the contact details you wish to pass on.

Most women tend to give an email address initially and only give their phone number if they want to take things further.

Men often give out an email address and phone number straight away. In order to maximise your chances of being contacted by a match you should be at least provide an email address.

If you don't have an email address we recommend that you set one up before the event. If you have internet access you can set up a free email at www.yahoo.co.uk , otherwise most internet cafes will be happy to help.

Will three minutes be long enough?

Three minutes is long enough to know if you want to see someone again and short enough for those you definitely wouldn't! Making notes about your various dates will help you remember them when your matches come through!

You're not going to get to know someone's life history in three minutes, but you should be able to tell if you like what they say, their smile makes you go weak at the knees or there's the right chemistry.

What type of people will I meet?

You'll meet all sorts of people from many different walks of life but the beauty is they will be local to you. So if you want to strike up a friendship or think that there's potential for a relationship you don't have to worry about the distance factor.
