While we can't guarantee that a member will respond to your request, we have some valuable tips that can increase your chances of receiving a positive reply.
Enhance Your Approach
-
Choose an Appealing Profile Picture: A friendly, high-quality profile picture can make a great first impression. Since your request will be accompanied by your photo, make sure it is clear and inviting. Ask yourself: would you engage with someone who has a blurry or unflattering image? A genuine smile goes a long way in showcasing your best self.
-
Craft Thoughtful Messages: Avoid generic openers like “Hi!” and take the time to personalize your message. Review the recipient's profile, pay attention to details, and refer to shared interests. A friendly, specific question or tailored message can break the ice and boost your chances of a positive response. Need inspiration? Use our AI-suggested messages for a personalized touch.
-
Complete Your Profile: Provide insights into your hobbies, interests, and preferences. Let others get to know you better before reaching out. Sharing these details might spark an interesting connection with a potential match. Check your profile tab and tap on "Your profile score" to find ways to enhance your profile for more likes, matches, and messages.
Make Your Profile Stand Out: Utilize Boosts and Super-Requests to increase your visibility and stand out from the crowd.
Target Your Requests
-
Time Your Messages Well: Reach out to members who are currently online, as they are more likely to respond promptly. Check their online status before sending a request. If you're a Plus user (or higher), the “Only online users” option you can find in your filter settings can make this easier.
-
Consider Compatibility: Review the recipient’s profile, including their desired partner description. Make sure you meet their criteria, such as age and distance preferences, to improve your chances of a positive response. Premium and Ultimate users can also check the "Your chances" section for an overview of compatibility.
Remember, finding the right match often involves a bit of luck and timing. Don't be discouraged by a few unreturned requests. The perfect match is out there, waiting to be discovered.
