Helping Your Friend to Find Someone

If you are in a happy relationship, but see that your friend could do with meeting his or her perfect match, you have come to the right place.

Online dating is now the most popular way to find a partner and with a little help from you, your friend could find their perfect match online.

Choose some photos

When your friend join for free website like Muddy Matches they will be asked to upload a photo of their face and a selection of other photos.

Take a look through their photo collection to help them to find photos that show what they really look like. Go for photos that show them at their best, but aren’t taken 10 years ago. It’s much easier to find a nice photo of a friend than it is to find one of yourself as most people feel self conscious looking at photos of themselves.

Highlight their best qualities

Thousands of online dating profiles include the common phrases ‘I don’t know what to write’, ‘I like going out and staying in’ and ‘I like spending time with my friends’. While all of these statements are truthful, they could apply to 90% of people.

Help your friend to stand out from the crowd by identifying what makes him, or her unique. Think about what unusual, but lovable qualities they have. Let them know why you wanted to be their friend in the first place. Tell them about any funny stories that your associate with them, just make sure it’s not too naughty.

Just make sure that they use your help to inspire them, instead of writing their profile for them as it needs to be authentic.

Help them to search

Looking at dating profiles is much easier if you’re not looking for love yourself. It’s a bit like looking at housing websites when you’re not trying desperately to move to a new area.

Take a look yourself and help your friend to compile a shortlist, but don’t be surprised if they don’t agree with your selection.

Buy a subscription as a gift

Instead of buying the usual gifts for Christmas, you could treat your friend to a dating site subscription that will allow them to send messages to lots of great single people.
