General Questions
|
|
- What is iMatchup?
- iMatchup.com is more than just a dating site. We are community of singles who are tired of blind dates, tired of the club scene, and most of all tired of being alone. This IS the place where people connect every day. It is safe, secure, fun and very exciting. iMatchup is designed to meet your dating needs. Start out by being playful, exchange emails, progress into the chat rooms where discussions can last for hours and once you can't wait any longer, meet them face to face in our Live Video chat room. With a process like this you are sure to build meaningful and lasting relationships.
- What is the difference between searching and matching?
- Searching provides you a list of our members' profiles based on criteria you specify at the time of the search. Matching, on the other hand, is our two-way process that locates all of the members who match what you are looking for AND narrows that list to those members who are looking for people with a profile like yours. No time wasted browsing profiles that mean nothing to you. We deliver you the best of the best, the cream of the crop.
- Is online dating safe?
- Meeting someone at iMatchup.com is very safe because of our anonymous contact system. That means that you can send someone an email, or invite him or her into a chat room without giving him or her any actual personal information, not even your name. If you decide you don't want to have any more contact with someone, simply block him or her from contacting you again. If you like the person, then you can get more personal, or set up an actual date.
You, the community, police iMatchup.com if you see or receive something you consider objectionable, report the user to customer service at info@iMatchup.com and we will review the case and take action if necessary.
- How do I meet someone?
- Meeting someone at iMatchup.com is easy. First, sign up with a profile by clicking here. If you are already an iMatchup.com member, click here to login.
Use the search and Matchups feature, Searching provides you a list of our members profiles based on criteria you specify at the time of the search. Matching, on the other hand, is our two-way process that locates all of the members who match what you are looking for AND narrows that list to those members who are looking for people with a profile like yours. No time wasted browsing profiles that mean nothing to you.
Once you find another profile you like, whether they have a nice picture, or you like their description in their profile - send them an email or a flirt. Ask them to meet you in the chat room or video chat room. Be yourself, and when you hit it off, then you can set up a face-to-face meeting.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a complete profile and post a photograph. Profiles with photos are 8 times more likely to receive a response, and that means its more likely that someone will see your profile and contact you.
- What kind of people will I meet?
- At iMatchup.com you will meet people just like you. There are millions of people who use the Internet to find their Matchup, and iMatchup.com makes it easy to find the right one. And if you don't find someone right away, come back the next day, every day thousands of new people are signing up at iMatchup.com, and they could be your perfect Matchup!
- What if I don't meet someone I like?
- Post a photo. Research shows that profiles with photos are 26 times more likely to receive a response - which means you'll have more chances to meet someone you click with! Completing your profile gives people a better idea of who you are. If you don't let people know anything about you they may not take your profile seriously. Try a new photo. Experiment. Sometimes it is good to change details within your profile, as you will get a new set of responders. Add more detail to your description; the more you let people know about you, the more Matchups you will make.
- Why am I not getting any responses?
- Want to increase you chances of getting a response? Post a photo. Research shows that profiles with photos are 8 times more like to receive a response. Also, many people have more than one email address. Make sure you're using your registered e-mail address. Make the first contact. Send someone an email, a flirt or invite him or her to a chat session. If none of these solutions work, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.
