Top 10 Tips

  1. Invite your trusted friends. A Friend Of A Friend is all about friends helping each other out. The more friends you have in your network, the more people you will be able to involve in your dating and matchmaking mischief.
  2. Be safe. Please only divulge personal information when you're comfortable with the person you are speaking to. Be wary about people you don't know asking to continue the conversation on a private email address.
  3. Leave Friend Feedback. If you're single then ask your friends to tell people how great you are or, as a matchmaker, leave something positive and true on a single friend's profile. This sort of endorsement makes for an honest, modest and different community that everyone can enjoy.
  4. Be yourself in your profile. Be positive and have some fun. If you think that your friends are underselling themselves send them an email or give them a call!
  5. Add some recent pictures of yourself. Give us a smile. We need at least two and a recent head and shoulders is ideal (and please no group or family shots).
  6. Play nice. If, as a single, you're contacted by someone who is not for you just give a polite 'you're already chatting' or 'looking for something else'. We're a friendly community so being well mannered goes a long way.
  7. Be pro-active. It’s easy to sit back and wait for things to happen but life is short and we believe that you should be out there having fun and meeting new people.
  8. Matchmake. We've got a great feature on AFOAF.com where you can play Date Dr. with your friend network. Give it a go!
  9. Go!Social. If you’re single why not choose to Go!Social and see other single AFOAF.com members outside of your private dating network?
  10. Tell us if you're unhappy by emailing us at nicepeople@afoaf.com (your correspondence will be treated as private and confidential).
