How to use Basbes

Basbes is different from other dating app in so many ways, actually it’s considered to be a chatting app ‎more than a dating app ‎because it doesn’t suggest people for you, it doesn’t claim to know your taste in ‎people more than you and it doesn’t have a match making mechanism, all it does is giving you the ‎ability to communicate with a stranger you already see face to face without embarrassing yourself, so let’s see how to harvest the power that Basbes gives you.‎

Search for people around you

First of all, you need to go out, you might get lucky and meet the love of your life, but this time it ‎will be different. Once you found someone you are attracted to, search for him/her using Basbes. ‎

The searching process goes on for maximum 10 minutes, if you can’t find your target by then, ‎maybe he/she chooses not to be visible right now, or maybe he/she doesn’t use Babses in the first ‎place.‎

  • Go out to see new people.
  • Search for the person you feel attracted to.‎
  • Basbes uses ultrasonic sound to detect nearby devices.‎
  • Detection radius is about 12 meters only.
  • There shouldn’t be any barriers between you.
  • Don’t even keep your phone in your pocket while searching.

Get Closer

The purpose of Basbes is not to find a nearby single neighbor, or an attractive guest in the next hotel ‎room, it also doesn’t suggest interested people for you, it only enables you to start a conversation with someone you can see ‎by your bare eye, that’s why the maximum range detection range is about 12 ‎meters with no barriers in between, not even your pocket.

Compose a clever pick-up line

Take your time to think about a clever conversation starter, cause your pick-up line could be you ‎worst ‎enemy. No need to panic, you both met in the same place which means you already have the same ‎‎interests or life style, if your target make the effort to read your message it means he/she likes your ‎‎appearance already, the only barrier you still need to climb, is proving you have an interesting mind ‎and ‎soul, and that’s what your pick-up line will do.‎

Send the message

Once you found in the search results the one you are interested in, you can send him/her a pick-up line right away, no waiting for ‎matchmaking or swipes, Basbes is more like a chatting app with people around you than a ‎dating app.

Allow others to find you

Don’t forget to enable the visibility option in your settings if you want to be detected by people ‎around you, especially if you feel someone is checking you out and is desperate to make a move.‎
 
You can also switch your visibility off at any time, in case you are at a place you don’t want to be detected or to save battery life.

  • Go out to be seen by new people.
  • Enable the visibility option to be detected.
  • Basbes uses ultrasonic sound to let others detect your device.‎
  • Detection radius is about 12 meters only.
  • There shouldn’t be any barriers between you.
  • Don’t even keep your phone in your pocket while being visible.

Set the conversation timer

Have you ever felt attracted to someone but lost interest as soon as he/she starts talking? This could ‎happen when using Basbes too.
‎
Usually you will neglect or block the undesired person, but what if the person you want to neglect is ‎setting in front of you?

Timed conversation is a feature in Basbes enables you to choose how long a conversation can be ‎active, once the period you specified ends, the sender can’t send you more messages unless you ‎reactivate the conversation by providing additional time.

This way you won’t feel the pressure to continue a useless conversation just because the person ‎you neglect is setting in front of you.‎

  • Look around to identify who sent the message.
  • Specify how long the conversation should be active.
  • Activate the conversation forever to bypass hiding messages.‎

Scratch to read received messages

Since anyone can send you messages right away without waiting for your approval, it is imperative to receive them hidden, so that you do not accidentally read a message from someone you are not interested in.
 
It is also a relief to know that the recipient cannot read your message without making an effort, this way you won’t feel guilty for harassing someone out of your league.

  • Look around to identify who sent the message.
  • If you are interested, screech the message to read.
  • Specify how long the conversation should be active.
  • Reply.
  • Activate the conversation forever to bypass hiding messages.‎
