The Computer Will Find the Right Man for You!
French pop singer France Gall was a few years ahead of her time when she sang about a computer that can help her find the right man – in 1968! The song is in German, but you would probably be most familiar with Gall’s 80s hit Ella, elle l’a.
Thanks to online matchmaking, today your computer really can help you find the right man 
but the lyrics must have been like a glimpse of the future at the time: Read more

The Dating Ant and the Single Grasshopper
While re-reading the fable about the Ant and the Grasshopper the other day, it struck me that the fable could be applied to online dating and singles. Sounds ridiculous to apply the moral of an ancient Greek fable to modern online dating? Well, think about it:
The fable about the Ant and the Grasshopper begins at this time of year – while the weather is still beautiful and the summer is drawing to a close, the ant is busy stocking up supplies for the winter ahead. The grasshopper, however, is enjoying the weather and couldn’t be bothered thinking about the cold months ahead. As winter sets in, the ant is nice and cosy, with plenty of food to keep her going, while the grasshopper suffers cold and hunger because he didn’t prepare for the cold season.
This analogy is usually applied to hard work that pays off financially when times get tough, but applied to online dating, the lesson also rings true. Read more

Single Dog Lovers Looking for (Human) Love
Singles with dogs know that their pets make for great icebreakers when you’re looking for love. When you take your dog to the park, you easily meet other dog owners; a cheeky dog who likes to sniff strangers’ crotches can kick off a flirt (even if it’s embarrassing) and most singles can draw the connection between a cute dog and its cute owner…
But did you know that dog-lovers have certain qualities that make looking for love a lot easier? Obviously, dog-lovers are good at relationships – they already have a pretty serious one with their dogs, after all. In addition, they know a lot about behavioural psychology (let’s face it, humans aren’t that different from dogs when it comes down to it. Dog-lovers also learn to adjust to the needs of others and a caring streak will come in handy when their partner needs pampering.
At the end of the day, dog-lovers may go on about „man’s best friend“, but it’s just not quite the same as looking for love – human love. So even the biggest dog-lovers want to find a two-legged friend. But singles with dogs have to realise that any potential partner will have to put up with a lot: lack of privacy, competing with a dog for attention… and of course no end of dog hair. So it makes perfect sense for singles with dogs to go looking for love online, where they can „sniff out“ other singles without their dogs interfering. At be2 you can menyour dog in your profile and see if any of your matches are dog-lovers.

The picture shows a happy couple who met through be2 (both brought dogs into the relationship )
