FAQs

You can expect to meet educated, Indian professionals based in India or other parts of the world, who are interested in a serious relationship. We’re not for people looking for casual flings and hook-ups. Thanks to our vetting process, we can ensure the details one provides is authentic

We don’t encourage it. The most important factor for a great match is dedicated intent, we’re a platform that caters to singles who are keen on serious dating. That’s the only way the results of the Compatibility Quiz can be authentic and can help us find you the right match. If you’re keen on helping out someone close to you, go ahead and refer us.

Of course, that’s not a discriminating factor – everyone deserves a fair chance at love. Just be sure to be transparent about it during the process and you can go ahead and enjoy the full NSA experience.

We plan to very soon, however, we are not there just yet. Please feel free to let us know if you would like to be informed when we do launch our services to the LGBTQ community. You can fill out our inquiry form with the Subject Line: LGBTQ Inquiries or email us at hello@notsoarranged.com

When we email you with a match, you will receive your Compatibility Quotient with them along with a few interesting details on why and how you matched – this will also help you understand a few of their qualities and give you some insight into their personality. You will also receive a photograph of your match, along with their first name, age and city.

If you select the option that you’re open to meeting someone in a different location as you in Part 1 of the Compatibility Quiz, there could be a possibility where you receive a strong match with someone based somewhere else. If such a case arises and you wish to take it forward, we will e-introduce you. The two of you can Skype/video chat and it’s your choice if you would like to continue with the connection or explore other matches.

Yes, of course you can. While we do encourage you to give each match a fair chance since you do have a good level of compatibility and a certain level of curation has gone into matching you, it’s completely your choice. We won’t force you into meeting a match, but it would be great if you do give us a reason why you are turning him/her down so we can keep it in mind for future matches. Do note though, if you are the one turning down the match, it will still be counted from your total matches in your membership package. 

At NSA, we have a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate behaviour. That is why a Relationship Manager will always get in touch with you post every date for feedback. Be sure to bring offensive, disrespectful and inappropriate behaviour to our notice so relevant action can be taken against such members. You can also write to us about it at hello@notsoarranged.com

We are using the Normal Distribution Curve – based on the I.Q. ranges (accepted worldwide). Here, the mean is considered 100 and Standard Deviation is ±15, both sides of the mean. The CQ between 2 people is derived after calculating the scores in relation with each other and applying our formula. The following ranges will help you have a clearer understanding of how good/poor a CQ score is:
 

  • 130 to 144 – Extremely Compatible
  • 115 to 129 – Very Compatible
  • 100 to 114 – Above Average
  • 85 to 99 – Below Average
  • 70 to 84 – Rather Incompatible
  • Below 70 – Incompatible

While you’re taking the quiz, you can go back and change your answers at any time, but once you click Submit, you cannot change your answers nor will you be able to retake the quiz.

Please refrain from bringing someone along for your date, after all your friend is not the one looking for serious love. First dates can be quite awkward enough, you don’t need a third person present to upset what could be an otherwise great dynamic.

You’re welcome to cancel your membership anytime before your first match – no questions asked. We cannot guarantee love, but we can definitely help increase your chances of a meaningful connection. Please note that it takes 5-7 working days to process the refund and credit the amount to your bank account or credit card.
