How Facebook Dating’s Secret Crush Works

As Facebook eyes to become an all-in-one social media app, the company has announced its in-app feature named Facebook Dating to give users a chance to flirt with their “secret crush.”

How Facebook Dating’s Secret Crush Works

Just like other dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble, Facebook Dating allows users to connect with their potential partners. Through its Secret Crush feature, the in-app dating space enables its users to select up to nine friends they want to express their interest in.

Facebook Dating’s Secret Crush will make your heart skip a beat if you’re single and currently looking for "the one." Make sure that you always read your notifications, as Facebook will notify you when a friend added you as a secret crush. Your secret admirer's identity will be revealed only if you pick the same person for your list. Yup, it should be a match! Nevertheless, only Facebook users who have Facebook Dating profile will be able to receive these notifications.

Meanwhile, if it didn’t match, your admirer’s identity remains secret. Hence, there’s no way to find out who has a crush on you if your feelings aren’t mutual.

Facebook Dating (In-app Feature)

To enjoy this feature, you must be at least 18 years old. Facebook Dating is free, and won’t ask any fee if you wish to create your dating profile. You also have to note that your Facebook account is different from your Facebook Dating profile, as it won’t use data from Facebook Dating and Secret Crush to make content on your newsfeed.
