be2 - International dating

Throughout Europe, be2 is one of the top 3 providers - except in Germany.

Worldwide, even small countries like Singapore are represented. Countries like Russia or South America and Asia are among the provider's core regions.

The be2 success in numbers

Evaluations have shown that be2 has a high success rate compared to other dating sites:

  • Over 60% of2 premium members have dates.
  • About a third find a relationship.
  • What is the reason for this?

  • be2 Premium members are looking for a serious relationship and are therefore prepared to pay the relatively high fee.
  • Those who pay also want to use the dating site to make contacts and arrange dates.
  • The be2 matchmaking principle ensures that singles who are as well-matched as possible get to know each other.
  • How serious is be2? Fake profiles or real singles?

    Be2 has taken some security measures to ensure that fake profiles don't stand a chance:

  • By using advanced AI and highly efficient filters, unwanted profiles and messages are weeded out.
  • You have to pay to be able to communicate fully - and scammers won't bother spending money for the privilege!
  • Any member can report suspicious profiles.
  • Unfortunately, romance scammers still manage to outsmart security systems time and again. They try to make contact with lonely women over 40, then wrap them around their fingers with charming messages and eventually ask for money.

    Our advice:
    Beware of profiles that seem too perfect and write to you in English. If you are being asked for money, you can be sure that your counterpart has no romantic intentions.

    I recommend be2 if you want to find a steady relationship in an uncomplicated way. You will receive plenty of suitable partner suggestions from your region. There should be someone for you!

    How be2.ie works

    Five steps to your dream partner at Be2:

  • Complete the approx. 10-minute personality test.
  • Complete your profile and upload photos.
  • You will immediately receive suitable partner suggestions.
  • You will contact your contact suggestions or be contacted.
  • You will receive new suggestions on a regular basis.
  • Registering with Be2

    Registering with be2 is no big deal. You simply enter your email address and verify your account when prompted. 

    If you already have an account, you can sign up directly on the website. Click on the login button in the top right corner of the homepage.

    The be2 personality analysis

    The be2 personality test, together with your profile details, is the basis for the partner suggestions you receive.

    Therefore, it is important to answer all the questions that the virtual assistant Bernie asks you as accurately and truthfully as possible.

    She will ask you questions about your character traits, but also about the qualities you want in your dream partner.

    Basic requirements for your dream partner are also asked, such as age, height, hair color, body type, education, smoking habits, and drinking habits.

    You yourself now also provide information about your appearance and lifestyle. Therefore, in addition to the above-mentioned questions, you will also be asked questions about your profession and your income, and whether you have children. 

    Only after you have gone through the entire catalog of questions will you get to the actual registration.

    Here are some sample questions:

  • Where would your partner live ideally? 
  • What interests you the most when getting to know someone new? 
  • How old shoud your matches be? 
  • Which figure should your matches have?
  • Let's imagine that you have fallen in love. Are you open with your feelings?
  • Do you seek advice from your friends and family when choosing a partner?
  • Please tell us how you found out about us?
  • You have 2 to 16 choices for your answers.

    Our advice: You should take your time for the be2 personality analysis and not answer the questions in a rush. The more precise your answers, the better the partner suggestions generated by the system and the greater your chances of success.  

    Be2 Matching

    Important: The requirements you have for your ideal partner and the characteristics you have assigned yourself in the test cannot be changed afterwards. However, information on education, profession, income, children, smoking, drinking habits, pets, eye colour, hair colour and figure can.

    • balanced ratio of men and women
    • discreet & anonymous

    • not so good for singles under 20 years of age

    Who is be2 suitable for?

    The be2 site is aimed at all singles who are looking for a serious partnership. Accordingly, the registration process is quite time-consuming. However, this also has its advantage: singles who do not have sincere intentions do not invest time in a questionnaire!

    Thus, you will really find mostly singles here who are looking for the big love:

    Good for your purpose? Good for your age group?
    Life partner
    Flirt & Date
    Intimate encounters
    18-25 years
    25-50 years
    Over 50 years

    Men and women can be found at be2 from the age of 20. But the chances are also good for older singles, because there are many be2 members in their 50s or 60s.

    Nevertheless, some men try to use be2 as a non-committal flirt site. They pretend to have serious intentions, but are really only looking for a short flirtation. Therefore our tip for all men: Stay honest and look for flirts on a flirt site! It wouldn't be right to offend someone. However, if both want the same thing, why not?

    Who are the members of be2?

    As with most Irish dating sites, be2 also has a slight surplus of women. In the age group 46 to 65 years, however, the men are ahead.

    The average age at be2 for both sexes is about 36. 

    Most of the singles at be2 are in the age group between 26 and 55.

    However, there are also young women and men over 20 who would like to find their love happiness with be2. And for older singles, the chances are really good, because there are many be2 members in their 50s or 60s.

    We have noticed that be2 has a mixed audience. The be2 members are looking for something steady, no matter what their social status or profession. There are a wide variety of singles here, some with academic professions, but also:

  • Nurses
  • Shop assistants
  • Educators
  • Craftsmen

    be2 in Practice

    After answering all the questions in the personality test and registering, your be2 profile could look like this:

    inside be2 reviewbe2

    Your Be2 profile

    All the information you provided about yourself in the personality test has now already been incorporated into your profile.

    Now it is your turn again and you should take the time to complete your profile.

    Once you have filled in all the sections, interested singles can already find out a lot about you:

    • Your first name and the place where you are looking for a partner
    • Your personal message
    • Why exactly they should contact you
    • Your basic details such as date of birth, height, age, etc.
    • Your ice-breaker questions
    • Your answers to the topics: Food, types of travel, sports, leisure activities, music, film and TV genres, reading

    Discretion plays a big role:

  • Your photo will only be displayed unpixelated if you explicitly want it to be. With the function "Share my photos with ... you can control the display individually.
  • Your last name and contact details are not visible.
  • Sensitive data that you have entered in the personality test are included in the matching, but otherwise remain strictly private.
  • Be sure to put a photo online with be2! It is very important to upload one or more good photos. Photos can significantly speed up the process of establishing contact in online dating. More photos quickly help you to get more messages and thus a first date more quickly.

    Be2 Photo

    Make an effort! Fill out your be2 profile as completely as possible. You will arouse more interest in others if, for example, you reveal something about your hobbies or your taste in music.

    We have noticed that completely filled out profiles open up many more chances for a contact. All the information from the personality test and all the information from your profile together form the basis for matching. That means: How well does someone match me and vice versa?

    This matching is expressed in points. A high number of matching points indicates many matches and a good partner potential.

    You can look up matching details on any profile that has been suggested to you. Go to the "Matching" tab and you can see what you have in common with this person and how high the common matching points are. From a point value of 115 points, you can assume that this connection could have real potential. 

    How to get in touch

    As soon as you have completed the personality test at be2 and your registration is complete, you can also find the first contact suggestions on your profile.

    The number of suggestions is manageable, but you should not forget that you have only been made suggestions that fit well.

    If you like a profile, you can add it to your list of favourites. If you are a premium member, you can also write a message directly.

    Be2 Contact

    If you are initially at a loss for words, you can also contact your matches using the following options:

  • send a hello
  • answer an ice-breaker question
  • click on the button "Like profile" 
  • share a photo as first contact. Only when both like each other they start the actual getting-to-know-you process.
  • You will see that once contact has been made, free messages almost write themselves.

    After that, it's only a small step to a phone call or a video call - provided there is mutual sympathy. 

    The be2 video call

    With be2 you can also get to know other be2 singles on a video date. In the meantime, many be2 members like to use the video date function.

    Good to know:

  • You can get to know selected partners before you meet them in person.
  • You have full control over who you want to video-date and for how long.
  • You remain anonymous. Your personal and protected information remains private.
  • You can be sure that connection data is encrypted and cannot be traced by other members.
  • The be2 App for mobile flirting on the go

    Download the be2 app free of charge from the Apple App Store or iTunes for iOS or the Google Play Store for Android 

    This way you are independent and don't miss any activities on your dating profile even when you are on the go. 

    On your smartphone you can

  • read and reply to messages
  • view partner suggestions and profiles
  • manage your own profile and upload photos
  • receive push notifications for new messages
  • purchase the premium membership as an in-app purchasen
  • Our advice:
    Complete the personality test on your PC, register there too and update your be2 profile there too. Only then download the app onto your smartphone. Whether on the couch or on the go, you can then take part in the dating action.

    Additional functions with Be2

    We particularly like these functions: 

  • Is it love at first like? - is a kind of "Tinder function" that suggests 3 new profiles every day for you to like.
  • Be2 Love at first like
  • If you have not had at least 10 contacts as a paying member, your membership will be extended free of charge.
  • If you want even more contact suggestions

    Our advice: Log in often. The more active you are, the more often you will be suggested to other singles and the more suggestions you will receive. Inactive profiles are screened out by be2.
