Registration was never so simple!

A few tips to make sure that the proposed match is the best one for you:
  • Remember to answer all the questions on the form
  • Once you have registered, fill in the "hobbies" section of your profile.
  • If something is very important to you, don't hesitate to write it in the comments section.
  • You can also use the comment section to describe yourself a bit more and leave a short message to your future Buddy.
  • Keep an open mind when a match is proposed to you. If your proposed Buddy doesn't share all your interests, it's also an opportunity to open up to new things and why not to discover a new passion!
     
The match periods take place from May to October and from November to January.
