What happens when you become a Matchmaking Member for Personal Matchmaking for you?
"All you need is love"
So what happens when I sign-up for a Matchmaking Plan?
After purchasing Matchmaking Membership, you will be sent a welcome email with a link to my Membership Form. As I meet all of my members to go through the membership form, you do NOT need to fill this form out in full. I need at least one photo and your contact details for the form to submit. When your form has submitted, you will be sent to a 'Thank you for submitting page' to show your membership form has been submitted successfully.
​
Once the membership form has been submitted, you will be contacted to arrange your personal meeting with the Matchmaker either in person or a Zoom meeting, depending on Membership Plan purchased.
​
At this meeting:-
-
We will go through the membership form in detail to create your profile with Something Special - finding out all about you and what you are looking for.
-
I will show you what a 'Match Email' will look like if you receive a Match
-
I will ask for copies of two forms of Identification.
-
I will ask you to sign my 'Confidentiality & Code of Conduct Agreement'. A copy of this can be viewed here prior to our meeting.
​
Once I have met you, you have signed my agreement form and supplied two forms of ID, I will complete your profile and you will become a 'live' member of Something Special. This means, once your profile is complete, I will be looking for potential matches for you and you are able to access the online Member's area of profiles.
01
MEMBERSHIP PROFILE FORM
Once a member, you will gain access to the
Something Special Membership Form online. This form is designed to get to know all about you and what you are looking for in a partner. Please complete and submit your form as soon as possible.
I understand how form filling is not fun - all I ask is that you complete the questions with an * which are mainly about your gender, contact details and one photo. All the other questions can be answered with me, Jules, at your personal meeting.
(The new 'Takes Two' PLUS Membership requires for the Membership Form to be submitted in full and there is no personal meeting).
Once you have submitted your membership form online, you will be able to add a photo and 'about me' blurb to your online profile.
When I have your form, I will contact you to arrange your personal meeting to discuss your membership form in greater depth and find out what exactly you are looking for in a partner.

PERSONAL MEETING
The personal meetings are held either in person or via Zoom. If the option to meet is in person, this is usually somewhere relaxed, close to where Something Special is located in Coulsdon. If you are unable to get to Surrey, the personal meeting can be done via Skype/ Zoom.
At your personal meeting, we go through your membership form in detail, get to know more about you, what you are looking for in a partner and discuss how your 'Match Email' will look like - these are completely customisable.
I require copies of 2 forms of Identification to be given at the meeting (Driving Licence and Proof of Address).
I also require you to sign my Something Special Confidentiality & Code of Conduct Agreement Form.
If the meeting is conducted via Skype/Zoom - all documents can be scanned and emailed.

MATCH AND DATE
I will send you a 'Match Email'*, which will include:- their photos, reasons why you match, what you are both looking for in a partner and 'Matchmaker notes' on each Member. Matches will only be made one at a time.
Alternatively, if you see someone on The 'Takes Two' Platform for Singles' you would like to meet, let me know and I will look to see if I can match you.
Please ensure you contact me as soon as possible to let me know if you wish to meet your match or not.
If you do, I will contact them to find out if the feeling is mutual.
If it is - I organise a date, time and location, suitable for both of you.

About Membership...
​
Once you have purchased Matchmaking Membership and completed your personal meeting, I will then complete your profiling and start looking for matches for you.
​
I am a small business which offers a unique and personal service for a fraction of the price of my competitors. I pride myself in that and try my absolute best to create a good profile and match all of my clients. Sometimes it’s a long wait game for a match and other times it’s not. It all depends on who I have available on my books and what you are looking for. I will not know if I have a Match for you until after your personal meeting and your profile has been completed. Due to the nature of this business, there cannot be a guarantee that any matches will be made. Each plan comes with unlimited Matches within your Membership Term. If necessary, Membership will be extended according to the minimum amount of 'Match Emails' agreed on your plan.

01
When you have purchased membership, I will approve you for site access to the Membership Form online. This form includes getting to know all about you; what you like, your interests, hobbies, what life experiences you have had, what an average weekend is like for you, for example, and of course what you are looking for in a partner; their personal and physical qualities that may matter to you.
​
Please complete this form and return it to me as soon as possible so I can get your personal meeting and profile arranged and start finding matches for you. Those questions with an * must be completed but all those without are not required on submission of the form and can be completed at your personal meeting. One photograph is compulsory for this form to be submitted online, additional photos can be sent after your personal meeting. Once you have submitted your membership form online, you will be able to add a photo and 'about me' blurb to your online profile. You will not have access to the forum and other member's profiles at this stage.
02
Additional photographs for your profile can be taken at the meeting (available to White Gold & Platinum Plans only) or you can send me a selection of images to add to your profile. All photographs must be within the last year and will be vetted by Jules. If you submitted three photographs with your Membership Profile Form, you will not need to send anymore unless found inappropriate or out of date. The three photos required are one portrait, one full length and one other.
I will ask for you to sign my Code of Conduct/ Confidentiality Form. If you have a DBS certificate, please send me a copy and this knowledge can be added to enhance your profile. If you do not have a certificate, you can obtain a basic check yourself at https://www.gov.uk/request-copy-criminal-record. A DBS certificate is not required to be a Member.
​
I am passionate about finding my members their 'something special', with genuine people looking for a serious relationship. Some of my members have used dating apps and sites previously and are wary of who they meet online. At Something Special Introductions, I pride myself on the safety of my members. I conduct my own due-diligence through ID and my 'Confidentiality & Code of Conduct' Agreement to ensure that every new member is genuine in who they are and their intentions. I do advise, however, for you to do your own due-diligence on prospective matches for your own safety. Please see my terms and conditions of service and Being Safe Advice.
03
Once your Matchmaker's Membership Profile is complete; I have received your two forms of ID, Code of Conduct/ Confidentiality Form, DBS certificate (if applicable), photos and 'match email' blurb, you will be a 'live' member and I will begin the process of finding you a match.
​
I wish you all the best in your search for your 'something special'.
​
04
When I find a match for you, I will email you a 'Match Email' with information about how the two of you Match and text you to let you know it has been sent. Please let me know asap if you would like to match for a date. I will only send matches to you one at a time for consideration. If you are both interested, I will co-ordinate a date, time and venue between the two of you to meet. I will book the venue under my name, Jules Anderson and send a confirmation email with all the necessary details. No private information, including telephone numbers, will be given unless we have your expressed permission. If you do not want to meet, I will look for another match for you.
​
On the date - Relax and enjoy yourselves with no expectations. Please do not ask to share contact information.
​
After the date - Please contact me to let me know if you would like to share contact details. If both Members would like to share contact information, I share this information and the two of you take it from there.
​
I will not send any more matches until I hear that you are not dating anymore and would like to be considered for other members.
