If you follow be2 on twitter, you’ll know that last Friday, the new be2 TV spot was filmed. Our TV manager Linda was on the scene all day and now she’s sharing her behind-the-scenes pictures from the set of the be2 TV spot…

The first scene was shot in a trattoria, where the couple had a romantic dinner. Unfortunately, they were not actually allowed to eat the lovely food that was prepared. Imagine being told “look, don’t touch” when you’re sitting in front of a mouth-watering seafood dish for two hours :(

Do you think online matchmaking services are too expensive? Maybe you’ll think again when you hear the results of an interesting British study about the value of love. The book “You Are Really Rich, You Just Don’t Know It Yet” places monetary couple-in-lovevalue on things that are more important than money – like friendships, health and love.

Especially during the current financial crisis, many people are re-evaluating the value of material things and trying to focus on values that are more rewarding than money. The value assigned to love and other immaterial goods is based on research about what makes people happy. In a new value system, things like love would be appreciated for what they are: priceless ways of enriching your life, without being rich.

According to the book, the value of love is  £163,424, while a stable relationship is worth £154,849. Ideally, online matchmaking can help you find both! Then, if you really want to boost your happiness value, you could have children, at a value of £129,448. Surely online matchmaking isn’t too expensive when the return on your investment – the value of love – is so high…

love-lettersLove letters are few and far between these days, what with text messages, emails and IMs taking over. Nevertheless, love letters are still the best way to let someone know you love them. Sadly, love letters are also the hardest things in the world to write when you’re lost for words.

That’s when 1001 love letters comes in very handy. The site hosts a huge collection of love letters, providing categories like seduction letters, erotic letters, miss you letters, friendship letters, reconciliation letters, and many more. Some of the letters are very specific, so it’s worth browsing the site for words that fit your personal situation perfectly (for example “I don´t mind being the Other Woman”, “My mistake”, “To the love of my life” and even “Seducing my teacher” (!)).

Once you have found the love letter that perfectly expresses what you want to say, you can send it directly from the site. Of course you could also use the love letters as inspiration and base your own romantic prose on those ideas. After all, everyone gets text messages, emails and IMs, but by putting pen to paper you will really make an impression!
