How to build a matchmaking site in Bubble

Go to the Data tab and create a Data Type called Profile. Add fields: User (User), Display Name (text), Date of Birth (date), Gender (text), Height (text), Religion (text), Caste (text), Education (text), Occupation (text), Annual Income (text), City (text), State (text), Country (text), About Me (text), Profile Photo (image), Gallery (list of images), Family Details (text), and Is Verified (yes/no, default no). Use Option Sets for Gender, Religion, Education Level, and Marital Status to keep data consistent.

Create a page called create-profile. Add a multi-section form using Groups for each category: Personal Details (name, DOB, gender, height, religion), Education and Career (education, occupation, income), Location (city, state, country), Family Details (multiline input), and About Me (multiline input). Add Image Uploader elements for profile photo and gallery images. Add a Save Profile button with a workflow that creates a new Profile thing mapping all fields, and sets User to Current User.

Add a Data Type called Partner Preference with fields: Profile (Profile), Preferred Age Min (number), Preferred Age Max (number), Preferred Religion (text), Preferred Education (text), Preferred City (text), and Preferred Income Range (text). On the matching page, build a search that finds Profiles matching the current user's preferences using constraints: Date of Birth falls within the age range, Religion equals preferred religion, and so on. Use Ignore empty constraints so unfilled preferences are skipped. Display results in a Repeating Group sorted by match relevance.

Create a dynamic page called profile with Type set to Profile. Display the profile photo, name, basic details, and a blurred or hidden section for contact information. Add Privacy Rules on the Profile Data Type: only show contact fields (phone, email) when the viewing user has an accepted Connection with the profile's user. Use conditionals to show a lock icon and message saying Connect to view contact details for non-connected users.

Create a Data Type called Connection with fields: From User (User), To User (User), Status (Option Set: Pending, Accepted, Declined), and Message (text). On each profile card, add a Send Interest button. Create a workflow: When button is clicked, Create a new Connection with From User as Current User, To User as the profile's User, Status as Pending, and Message from an optional input. Add an Only when condition checking that no existing Connection exists between these two users to prevent duplicates.

Create a page called connections showing incoming requests. Add a Repeating Group with Type Connection, Data source: Search for Connections where To User equals Current User and Status equals Pending. In each cell, show the sender's profile photo, name, and message. Add Accept and Decline buttons. The Accept workflow: Make changes to Connection, Status equals Accepted, then send an email notification to the sender. The Decline workflow: Make changes to Connection, Status equals Declined. Add tabs for Accepted and Declined connections using separate Repeating Groups filtered by status.
