Below you will find a list of frequently asked questions with answers. If you have a question that is not answered below, please contact us.

Q: How much does it cost to register?
A: Nothing. Registration is FREE. This allows you time to create your own matchmaking profile and store it in your account until you are ready to run it. However, until you run your ad, you also won't receive your Matchmaking Dining Club membership card which guarantees you a 20% discount off your bill (including food, beverages and alcohol) at local participating restaurants for a full year.

Q: Do I have to register to use the site?
A: No. You can browse and search ads without registering. You should still register, to save time, as the site will remember various preferences for you. If you want to create ads, you will need to register. Registration is FREE.

Q: How Much Do Ads Cost?
A: To run your matchmaking profile ad, it costs only $24.95 a year, and you'll also receive your Matchmaking Dining Club membership card at the first of the month after you run your ad. This will allow you to take advantage of the 20% dining and beverage discount at local restaurants in your area every time you show your card (whether you happen to be on a date that day or not!).

Q: How Long Does an Ad Run?
A: Each ad runs for 365 days, the same length of time as your Matchmaking Dining Club membership which guarantees your dining savings.

Q: Do I Have to Register to Create Ads?
A: Yes. You must be a registered user to create ads. Registration is free.

Q: I created an ad, but it does not show up in search results. Why?
A: You need to run your ad. Go to My Account and click on Run ad to the left of the ad you wish to run. The system will ask for your credit card information, and your ad will run as soon as your payment is processed.

Q: I met someone I really like and am not interested in meeting anyone else. How do I stop my matchmaking profile from appearing on the site?
A: From the My Account page, click on the Stop link to the left of the ad.

Q: What Category Should I Put My Ad In?
A: Choose your category according to who you are and who you'd like to meet (i.e. Man seeking Woman)

Q: What region should I put my ad in?
A: The region you live in. By default the region will be the region you specified on your profile when you registered, but you can change this at any time.

Q: Will my ad be visible in other regions?
A: Yes. All ads are visible in any region. The system will, however, always show a person ads in their region first, then ads from outside their region.

Q: I don't want my name, phone number or email address to appear on your site. What should I do?
A: You can have all your personal information remain private. Update your personal privacy preferences from the My Account page.

Q: If all my information is private how can a prospective match contact me?
A: When your ad appears, instead of showing your contact information the following appears: "This person has chosen to remain private. You may contact them via anonymous email by clicking here." Your prospective date completes an on-line form and the system sends you an email without revealing your information to the prospective date.

Q: What is your privacy policy?
A: See Privacy Policy for details.

Q: How Do Regions Work?
A: MATCHMAKINGDINING.com covers the U.S. All states and any city with a population of 100,000 or more is listed as a region. When you register or create ads, you select a region. When you browse ads, ads in your region will be shown first. When you search for ads, ads in your region will be shown first.

Q: I don't see my city listed. What region should I choose?
A: Choose the city closest to you or the state you live in.
