How to use Facebook dating?

If you have prior experience with other dating apps like tinder, Facebook dating will be your next favorite. Once you have activated your Facebook dating profile, you can open it from the three-line menu> All shortcuts> dating.

Once you open your FB dating profile, you will see three buttons on top of the page; Profile, Liked you, and Matches.

There’s a Settings gear on the top right corner too, where you can customize your ideal match. In short, by clicking on the gear, you can specify your ideal match’s age, gender, height, language, living distance, etc.

Here’s the information on what every button on Facebook dating is designed for;

• Profile: The profile button allows you to customize your dating profile. You can add your hobbies, and interests, add or remove photos, and even add an introductory text.
• Liked You: By tapping this button, you can see the users who have liked your profile. You can even like or dislike the users back. If you ‘Like’ that person, the person will end up in your ‘Matches’ section,
• Matches: By tapping this button, you will see the users you ‘liked’ You can start the conversation with your match by tapping on the photo.

The center of the page is where you can see the photo of your possible match. Tap the heart (or swipe right) to like the profile or X (or swipe left) to dislike the profile. You can get more information about your possible match by clicking on the photo. You will now see all the details about the user, along with more pictures.

There’s also a ‘More to Explore’ section on your FB dating profile where other options are available such as; Second Look, Events in common, Groups in common, and Secret crush.

1. The Second look option allows you to view the profiles you previously disliked.
2. The secret Crush option allows you to select your Facebook friend or Instagram follower who you secretly admire. The person will receive a notification saying they have a secret crush. If your crush also marks you as a crush, your identity will be revealed to your crush. Pretty convenient, right? You can add only 9 followers as your secret crush.

Fortunately, your FB dating information, such as; conversations, pictures, and information about your matches, don’t appear on your actual Facebook profile. Therefore, none of your Facebook friends will know that you have a Facebook Dating profile.

Once you have found your ‘The One’ soulmate, you can delete your Facebook profile too! However, if you are done with dating apps and want a break from your dating life, you can also use the ‘Take a Break’ feature on Facebook dating.
