chandrilQ: Is it possible to create a matrimonial or dating site?
So my idea is that people will pay to create their profiles on the site and find each other using matches. So, they can message each other on Facebook and get in touch. They will go through a vetting service where I will analyse their personality using a questionnaire, verify their identity, etc. Only paid members can see other paid members.
Is this possible? If yes, how to embed a questionnaire and an approval system so that members create profiles and accept payment only after they have been approved?
Are there similar sites made using BD before? any examples?

Based on the workflow you described, BD could be a good fit depending on how hands-on you want the matchmaking process to be.
✅ Paid member registrations and subscriptions
✅ Detailed member profiles with custom profile fields
✅ Member search and filtering
✅ Private members-only profile access
✅ Built-in 1-to-1 private member messaging
✅ Custom registration forms and questionnaires
✅ Manual review and approval of member accounts
✅ Email marketing and member management tools
For example, you could have applicants complete a questionnaire during registration, review and verify their application, approve qualified members, and then grant access to other approved member profiles.
Where I'd encourage you to evaluate your requirements carefully is around the matching experience itself. If your vision is a curated matchmaking service where you are personally reviewing applicants and helping connect members, BD could work very well. If you're looking for a swipe-based dating app with complex matching algorithms and mobile-app-style interactions, that would likely require additional custom development.
While we don't have a public example we can share, we've seen customers use BD for private communities, networking groups, professional matching, and other membership-based websites where connecting members is an important part of the experience.
Please let us know if you have any other questions – always happy to help! 😊
