• Members List:
  Explore profiles of all ‘Takes Two’ members to find potential matches.

​

Profile Visibility:

Profiles are visible to all members by default when set to ‘public’ in your account Dashboard. You can set your profile to ‘private’ if you prefer it not to be seen by others.

​

Verification:

To Become Verified:

• Start with an ‘unverified’ badge.

• Complete the simple Registration Form.

• Attend a ‘Little Something’ Dating Night for your age group, where The Matchmaker will:

  • Check 2 forms of ID (Passport, Driving Licence, or Bill)

  • Ask you to sign the Something Special Code of Conduct

• Complete a ‘Consider Me’ form to be considered for a 1-1 date with a matchmaking member

 

Once verified, you can like and match with other verified members.

​

Expedited Verification for Established Members:
Existing Friendship Club members or those who have attended a ‘Little Something’ Dating Night can expedite verification by providing photos, two forms of ID, and signing the Code of Conduct at a Friendship Event or via WhatsApp. Contact The Matchmaker for details.

​

Takes Two Matching:

Expressing Interest:
Verified members submit match requests to The Matchmaker via the Matching Form, providing their membership number and the details of the member they want to connect with.

Membership Numbers:
These are issued on verification and shown on member profiles.

Matching Process:
The Matchmaker contacts the other member to check mutual interest.

​

Options Upon Matching:

If it’s a Match! Both members can:

• Share contact details for free

• Attend the same ‘Little Something’ Dating Night (fee £21 each)

• Have The Matchmaker arrange a 1-1 date (£21 fee for the requester)

If members prefer different options, both will be invited to attend the same dating night.

​

Matchmaking Process:

Matchmaking members have complimentary access to the platform and can also request matches through the Matching Form.

If a ‘Takes Two’ member requests a match with a matchmaking member, The Matchmaker will assess compatibility and may organise a 1-1 introduction date if both parties agree.

​

Joining Fee and Membership:

Membership lasts until canceled. Members may cancel anytime. Something Special reserves the right to terminate memberships or require renewal if the platform transitions to a paid monthly service.
