Today, we’re launching Facebook Dating in the US. We’re also giving people the ability to integrate their Instagram posts directly into their Facebook Dating profile and giving people the ability to add Instagram followers to their Secret Crush lists, in addition to Facebook friends. By the end of the year, we’ll make it possible to add Facebook and Instagram Stories to your Dating profile too.

Finding a romantic partner is deeply personal, which is why we built Dating to be safe, inclusive and opt-in. Safety, security and privacy are at the forefront of this product. We worked with experts in these areas to build protections into Facebook Dating from the start, including the ability to report and block anyone; prohibiting people from sending photos, links, payments or videos in messages; and by providing easy access to safety tips. These features and others give you more control and peace of mind. Learn more about privacy and Facebook Dating here.

How It Works

Starting today, you can choose to opt into Facebook Dating and create a Dating profile (separate from your main profile) if you’re 18 years or older and have downloaded the most recent version of Facebook. You will be suggested to others who have also opted in. People are suggested based on your preferences, interests and other things you do on Facebook. Facebook Dating isn’t about swiping or having to wait for someone to like you to get a first chance at reaching out. If you are interested in someone, you can comment directly on their profile or tap on the Like button to let them know. If you aren’t interested, you can pass on them. Facebook Dating allows you to match with friends of friends and/or people not in your friend circle. Facebook Dating won’t match you with friends, unless you choose to use Secret Crush and you both add each other to your list. All of your Dating activity will stay in Facebook Dating. It won’t be shared to the rest of Facebook.

Key Features

• People will soon be able to connect and share with Facebook and Instagram Stories. Today people are asked to make a decision as to whether or not they like someone immediately based on a static profile. To help you show, rather than tell, who you are, we’re bringing Stories to Dating. This format lets you be authentic in a way that a typical dating profile can’t, and it helps you get to know someone before and after you match.

• Secret Crush lets you match with people you already know on Facebook and/or Instagram. By default, Facebook Dating won’t match you with your Facebook Friends, but people told us they were interested in exploring potential romantic relationships within their extended circles, like their Facebook friend list and Instagram followers. Our popular Secret Crush feature gives you the option to do just that. If you choose to use Secret Crush, you can select up to nine of your Facebook friends or Instagram followers who you’re interested in. (To add Instagram followers you must connect your Instagram account to Facebook Dating.) If your crush has opted into Facebook Dating, they’ll get a notification saying that someone has a crush on them. If your crush adds you to their Secret Crush list too, it’s a match! If your crush isn’t on Dating, doesn’t create a Secret Crush list, or doesn’t put you on their list — then no one will know that you’ve entered their name.

• You can now add your Instagram posts to your profile in Facebook Dating. Adding Instagram posts to your profile will make it easier to build a better dating profile, show aspects of your life to others, and find shared connections that spark conversation.

• Opt into Events and Groups to see people with similar interests.You can choose to see other people who are using Facebook Dating that fit your preferences within the groups you are part of and the events you have attended or will be attending. When you choose to see these people, you will also be visible to them.
• Feel safe by sharing details of your date. People using Facebook Dating can share details of their upcoming date and/or live location with someone they trust via Messenger. They will be able to control if they want to choose this feature. If they do, they are in control of whothey share this information with.
• Creating your Dating profile is easier than ever. Based on feedback from people using Dating in other countries, we’ve made it easier to create a Facebook Dating profile. With one tap, we’ll suggest photos and information from your Facebook profile, which you can edit or remove. You can also create your own Dating profile from scratch.

In addition to the US, Facebook Dating is currently available in 19 other countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, Suriname, Thailand, Uruguay, and Vietnam.

Steps

Part 1 of 4:

Identifying Potential Matches Download Article

1. 1
   Check your friends’ profiles if you’re interested in them. If one of your friends has caught your eye, then check to see if they’re single! Click on their page to check their relationship status. If it isn’t listed, scroll through their pictures and posts to see if they have a partner. If they appear to be single, you can start a conversation to make sure.

   • For example, if the person posts a photo of themself at a baseball game, you could comment, “I had no idea you were such a baseball fan! We should get a group together and go to a game.” Their response can help you figure out if they really are single.
2. 2
   Peruse your list of “suggested friends.” Facebook has a feature that shows you a list of people you may know. Some of them could be singles you’ve encountered in real life through work, school, or your favorite activities. Since you already have a prior connection identified by Facebook, you have an “in” to contact them!^[1]

   • Keep in mind that Facebook will show you both single and attached people. There is no filter for just singles.
   • You can access this feature here: https://www.facebook.com/people/
3. 4
   Connect through mutual friends. Keep an eye out for friends-of-friends who catch your eye. You can do this by looking at the photos your friends are tagged in, or perusing the profiles of friends you have a lot in common with, since their other friends may have similar interests to yours. If you see someone you like, you already have a connection to them -- your shared friend!^[3]

   • You can also search for non-friends.
4. 6
   Join Facebook groups in your area to meet people with similar interests. Most cities have a bunch of different Facebook groups for all kinds of topics. Groups dedicated to singles are your best option for meeting available people, and they’ll likely be more open to making a connection. However, you may also meet people by joining groups for people with similar interests, such as a filmmaking, hiking, or outdoor grilling.

   • If a group is private, you can request to join. Most of these groups will let you in.
   • You can access Facebook groups here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/
   • If you don’t find a singles group for your area, then you can try to start one yourself!
5. 7
   Use Facebook events to meet people in your area. With Facebook events, you can see what’s going on in your area and mark the event if you want to go. There’s also an area for discussion, which could help you connect with other people who are going.^[5]

   • Feature photos that make you look attractive and interesting.
   • Make sure that you have photos of you doing your favorite hobbies, such as playing a sport, painting portraits, hanging out with friends, or going to the beach.
   • Delete, hide, or un-tag photos that don’t portray you well.
   • Get rid of any ties to your exes.
6. 2
   Describe yourself in the “Intro” and “About Me” sections. Some people overlook these sections, but they let you share extra information about yourself. This could help you hook the person you’re crushing on! Provide a few sentences that summarize your personality, what interests you, and a cool fact about yourself.

   • The “Intro” section is on the front of your profile page, right under your photo. Write, “I’m a tech-savvy brainiac who loves comic books, superhero movies, and anything with chocolate syrup. On weekends I fight robots.”
   • In the “About Me” section, you can share a little about yourself under the “Details About You” section.
7. 3
   Click on pages that you “like” to show what your interests are. Facebook shows the pages you “like” on your profile. That means you’ll need to go to the pages of bands, movies, books, sports teams, games, and other things that interest you and click the “like” button. When potential singles visit your page, they’ll be able to see these interests on your “About” page!^[7]

   • You can also comment on shared or viral articles, opening you up to even more potential singles. This is a bit harder, but if you start an interaction with someone in the comments, you could send them a friend request and see what happens.
8. 2
   Add the person as a friend if they aren’t one already. If the person is a mutual friend or casual connection via a group or comment thread, send them a friend request after you’ve had an exchange with them. They may not accept the request, but you’ll never know if you don’t try.^[9]
9. Don’t say anything overly suggestive.
