Something Special Membership FAQ

Something Special Membership is an affordable, personal matchmaking service with a difference. 1. First, you will receive a 'Welcome Email' with a link to my Membership form and given access to it. 2. You need to fill in your Membership Form Online (you can either complete the Membership Form or just answer those questions with an * - which are your contact details and one photo - and then complete your Membership Form with us. (If you have purchased 'Little Something' Membership that states that your Membership Form must be completed IN FULL, then ALL questions and THREE PHOTOs must be supplied on submission of the form.) 3. Time to meet your Matchmaker, Jules, in person for 1-2 hours to go through your Membership Form and discuss all about you and what you are looking for. If you are unable to get to Coulsdon, your Matchmaker can travel up to half an hour to meet you half way or the meeting can be conducted via Skype/ Zoom* 4. Once I have met you, have copies of your ID, and you have signed my 'Confidentiality & Code of Conduct Agreement' - you have access to my online private Member's Profiles and Forum - to make friends and chat with men and women. 5. When your profile has been created, I can then look to see if I have a match on my books. 6. When I find a 'Match' to do with the things that are important to you to do with your Lifestyle, Hobbies/ Interests, Likes and Dislikes - I send you a 'Match Email' 7. If it is a mutual match and you would like to meet each other - I organise your date! You can choose whether it is a drink, a coffee, dinner or something else.

Once you have signed up to my site and purchased Something Special Membership, you will be sent a 'Welcome Email' from me asking you to complete my online Membership Form.(javascript:void(0)) This is not visible online until Membership has been purchased and access approved. When you have completed your Membership Form online, I will call you to arrange your personal meeting with me, Jules.

At your personal meeting, I will talk to you about why I set up Something Special and ask about your dating experiences. I will then ask for copies of 2 forms of ID and ask for you to sign my Confidentiality and Code of Conduct Agreement.(javascript:void(0)) If you do not have copies, I can photograph your ID for you. I will then go through your Membership form in more detail, finding out all about you and what you are looking for in a partner. I will show you what your 'Match Email' to your matches will look like. This is completely customisable. If you would like me to change it in any way, please let us know.

Something Special is different because I am 'affordable'. Look at my prices - I am a similar price to the online dating sites, not dating agencies that cost thousands of pounds. The cheapest I could find when I started was £3000 for choosing 3 dates from their 'genuine database' Dating agencies can cost thousands of pounds per year. On average, dating agencies charge £7-8,000 and do not give any guarantees as part of their Membership. I am passionate about my members finding love without having to pay a ridiculous amount to find it.

The reason I set up Something Special Introductions is because of how the dating sites can make you feel. Although dating sites can and do work for some, online sites are full of many fake profiles and genuine people who are not genuine in their intentions. The process of sifting through profiles and talking to people online is soul destroying; not knowing whether they are truly genuine or even if there might be an attraction or connection on meeting (photos are never a true representation of a person in the flesh). Something Special Introductions is different because I take all of that uncertainty away. I have a personal meeting (preferably in person, if not via Skype/ Zoom) with every member, I ask for copies of two forms of ID and all members must sign my Confidentiality and Code of Conduct Agreement.(javascript:void(0)) All members are genuine, looking for a relationship and all photos are from within the last year. My aim is to provide a safe place for genuine people to meet and for a relationship to blossom.

No - I understand that Membership Forms are sometimes daunting or annoying to complete. You can fill in the whole of the Membership Form if you wish, but only those questions with an * are required. These are just a few questions about your contact details, gender, marital status and gender of your match. All the other questions can be discussed and answered at your personal meeting with your Matchmaker, Jules. If you are a FREE 'Trust' Member - you must fill the membership form IN FULL to be considered for a match for a Member.

Yes! All 'White Gold' & 'Platinum' Something Special Members are able to take advantage of my free photo shoot session with me. Photo sessions and images can be so expensive and many people don't have good recent photos of just themselves. Jules is happy to meet you somewhere local to Coulsdon that you feel comfortable and take a few photos for your profile. This free offer must be redeemed within the first month of membership for your profile photos.

I do!! However, as with meeting anyone under any circumstance, via a dating site/ through work/ a dating agency/ in a bar, there can be no guarantees and no Introductions Agency or Dating Site can guarantee you will meet someone. When it comes to affairs of the heart, there must be a mutual attraction and connection between my Members after they have been matched and met for anything to go any further. Only time will tell whether someone is truly right for you or not. I also cannot guarantee there is a Member that will match you. All people are different and all have different likes and dislikes and I really want to make sure that when I try and match you, that’s it’s with the right person - and not just giving you numerous false hopes. For example; Some people are religious and must match with someone equally practicing or some do not want someone who attends church. There are some people that smoke and those who will not date a smoker. These life decisions/ deal breakers and others may be the reason I can or cannot match you with someone. I offer my Something Special Personal Matchmaking Membership for 4 plans on my Plans & Pricing page. All my paid Something Special Matchmaking Membership plans offer the same matchmaking service - the only difference between them all is the length of Membership and amount of matches or guarantee. 'Little Something' Plus - No guarantee - NOT Personal Matchmaking - Possibility of a Match with a Member Silver - 3 Months Membership - Minimum 2 Matches White Gold - 6 Months Membership - Minimum of 4 Matches (or membership extended) Platinum - 12 Months Membership - Minimum of 8 Matches (or membership extended) If I do not have a match on my books and cannot send you the minimum matches offered in these plans, I will keep you on as a Member until your guarantee is met. The only other differences are the White Gold and Platinum Memberships have a free photo session you can take advantage of if you wish in the first month of membership. ​ I cannot 100% guarantee a match - it is all dependent on wants, needs, deal breakers from the personal meeting/ membership form and attraction and connection on meeting - and no one can define how that happens. I match Members one Match at a time. If you do not match with current Members, I cannot make a match. I will not know if there is a Member to Match you with until we have completed your personal meeting and Matchmakers Form for Matchmaking. New Members are joining all the time, however, so someone may join who is right for you at any time.
