How FOUND LOVE works

Fewer profiles. Better encounters.

FOUND LOVE is not a stack to swipe through. You tell us how you live and love, confirm that you are real – and then get to know a few people: with their photo, their own words and the reasons why you could match.

  1. 1 minute

    Create an account

    Email address, password, date of birth. FOUND LOVE is strictly 18+ – anyone younger cannot sign up.

  2. 5–8 minutes

    Getting to know you

    Seven short steps with real-life situations instead of yes/no tests. You can change every answer later.

  3. Step by step

    Confirm you are real

    Email, phone number, then identity and age through a specialised verification service. Only then do you receive suggestions.

  4. Daily

    A few suggestions a day

    Up to three people per day on the Free plan. You see their photo and name, read what the person writes about themselves and the key reasons why you could match – plus one possible friction.

  5. Only together

    Mutual interest

    You show interest or let a suggestion rest. Nobody finds out when you pass. When you both show interest, you both see it.

  6. With a safety net

    Write – with Premium

    Messages are part of Premium and Premium+, once you both show interest and both use one of these plans. In the chat, FOUND LOVE recognises typical scam patterns and gives you calm hints. Reporting and blocking takes two clicks on every plan.

Seven steps, not a questionnaire marathon.

Progress here means “Step 3 of 7” – not “Question 37 of 128”. After that FOUND LOVE occasionally asks a single question: the one that brings the most clarity about you right now.

After that: one question, when it helps

If FOUND LOVE already knows enough about an area, it stops asking about it. The next question is chosen by expected information gain – where the assessment is still most uncertain.

  1. The basics

    Name, gender identity and pronouns (if you like), where you live – just the town.

  2. Who are you looking for?

    Who you would like to meet, age range and distance. Suggestions only happen when you are looking for each other.

  3. Relationship goals

    Children, marriage, type of relationship and how quickly you commit.

  4. Personality

    Short everyday scenes: a free Saturday, a new city, a busy week.

  5. Communication & relationship

    Closeness, reassurance, arguments, making up, dealing with stress.

  6. Lifestyle & future

    Tidiness, money, home, social life, daily rhythm, work.

  7. Preferences & dealbreakers

    What is non-negotiable for you, your values, interests and what should count most in matching.

For every adult – whoever you love.

FOUND LOVE is for women, men, non-binary people, people with another gender identity and everyone who prefers not to state their gender. Every combination is possible.

Questions about this
Who you are
You choose your gender identity yourself – or describe it in your own words, or leave it unstated. Pronouns are optional.
Who you would like to meet
You freely choose who you are open to – including “Open to everyone”. A suggestion only happens if you are looking for each other. After that, only compatibility counts, not the combination.
Your orientation
You can state it if you want to. It is stored separately, hidden by default and plays no part in suggestions.
What others see
You decide: gender identity and orientation are hidden by default, pronouns are shown if you give them. You can change this at any time.

We never infer gender or orientation from photos, faces, messages or your behaviour. No AI tries to detect it.

Real first, then visible.

Suggestions – and, with Premium, messages – start at level 3. That applies to everyone, so you can rely on meeting only verified people.

    Account created

    You can prepare your profile.

    Extra badge: your photo really shows you.

Verification in detail

Not everything has to be the same.

FOUND LOVE doesn’t average everything into one number. Every finding gets one of four kinds – because a difference about children is something entirely different from a difference about when you get up.

Similarity

What connects you

You want a similar amount of closeness, both reach out after an argument, or share values like family and nature.

How it reads in a suggestion
“You both actively reach out after an argument.”

Complement

What can complement

One person likes to plan, the other stays spontaneous. That can work well – but only if you both handle differences constructively. That is exactly what the rule checks.

How it reads in a suggestion
“One of you likes to plan, the other stays spontaneous – that can complement each other well.”

Friction

Where it could rub

Noticeable differences in everyday life. Not an exclusion, but something worth talking about early.

How it reads in a suggestion
“Lena would like to be in touch more often during the day than you.”

Exclusion

What doesn’t go together

Fundamental differences you have marked as non-negotiable yourself – such as wanting children. They are not averaged away: there is simply no suggestion.

How it reads in a suggestion
“Fundamental difference: wanting children”

An honest example.

This is what an explanation looks like on the Free plan: at most three reasons and one possible friction. No percentage – a level in words instead.

When we don’t know enough

Then it says exactly that: “Not enough data yet for a reliable assessment.” And if nobody fits well enough today, you get no suggestion rather than a weak one.

Lena, 33 · Graz

High compatibility

Why you could be a good match

  • Similar views on children
  • You both actively reach out after an argument
  • Shared values: family, nature

Possible friction

Lena would like to be in touch more often during the day than you.

Illustrative example. Name and place are made up.

What we deliberately don’t do.

Does FOUND LOVE learn from my behaviour?

Only if you explicitly agree – and never secretly. If your interest clearly differs from what you stated, we show you that as a hint. You can confirm, correct or ignore it. Only what you confirm is used.
