Q: What is Sparkbliss?
A: Sparkbliss is a proven and qualitative approach to discovering meaningful companionship. It is referral-based online matchmaking through your private network of trusted friends. It is all about receiving romantic introductions with references and testimonials that are connected to people you know and trust.

Q: Is Sparkbliss for you?
A: Sparkbliss is the best way to meet people who share your interests, backgrounds, and values. If you are a busy professional, find yourself recently single, or simply tired of meeting random and anonymous people, Sparkbliss is a perfect complement.

Q: Why use Sparkbliss?
A: Statistically, 63% of married couples met through their network of friends. Sparkbliss automates and optimizes this proven process. If you are serious about finding the right person, Sparkbliss is for you.

Q: How does Sparkbliss work?
A: Sparkbliss is easy-to-use in each of two ways:

1. Forward your private bio (Make Introduction) to trusted friends who save and forward the email message to potential matches
2. Create a private network (Add Connection) of trusted friends who can forward your private bio (Make Introduction) to potential matches.

Q: What is private online dating?
A: Private and discreet online dating where architecture, methodology, and best practices prioritize and protect your personal data – e.g. bios are private, as well as hidden from search engines.

Problem:
The majority of online dating sites require members create a searchable profile. Your profile is part of a shared public database. By joining you effectively surrender control and expose personal information to public internet search tools.

Solution:
With Sparkbliss you decide who views your bio. You control who you invite (add connections) into your private network. Your personal information is hidden from all types of search tools.

Q: What is the problem?
A: Online dating and social networking sites are pervasive, however they are largely ineffective and offer disappointing results for the single adult hoping to discover meaningful companionship.

• Dating sites rarely reveal the kind of people you want to meet because they are constrained by their database of "active" profiles.
• Not everybody is comfortable with online dating. In fact, public concern over privacy, safety, and stigma substantiates why only "40% of single adults have experienced online dating."
• Most dating sites are anonymous and therefore foster disingenuous behavior. Typically, you scroll through hundreds of unknown and uncertain profiles which frequently include outdated photos and embellished information. Per a recent report, "24% of online daters lie about themselves to some degree."
• Dating sites can be mentally and emotionally exhausting, as well as extremely time-consuming. For example, it is difficult to pique someone’s interest via email, IM, or other means. Even if successful, it is often a long and arduous journey from email and phone interactions to making someone’s feelings safe and comfortable enough to meet in-person.
• The majority of online dating sites require members create a searchable public profile. By doing so, you effectively surrender control of your personal information to the public internet which can jeopardize your career and affect legal proceedings such as divorce, for example. Sample anecdotes: a lawyer avoids online dating because his colleagues will ridicule him if they find him on a dating site; a teacher is reluctant because exposing personal information could compromise her authority.

Q: What is the solution?
A: Sparkbliss is online matchmaking through your private network. It leverages what has always been the best way to meet people, introductions from your circle of friends. It is based upon a referral-based "matchmaker" model with unlimited reach.

• Members enjoy a unique confidence by receiving romantic introductions that are connected to people they know and trust.
• Members appreciate a "safe and comfortable" feeling that comes from introductions with references and testimonials.
• The qualitative "matchmaker" process also fosters honest, sincere, and genuine behavior by eliminating the burden of having to "sell" one’s self.
• With "familiarity" that comes from referrals, the time from introduction to meeting face to face is expeditious.
• Privacy is architected which protects your personal data from internet search engines.
