How to handle a match who doesn't respond? 🧐
Attention: Handle = Handle the situation, not handle the person! 😅
You matched with someone, but you're not getting a response? Don't panic, it's a situation that happens more often than you think! Silences can be frustrating, but it's important to know how to handle them without dramatizing or becoming insistent. Here are some tips to help you handle this situation calmly and with dignity, without coming across as a desperate stalker. 😅
1. Don't take it personally 🤔
It's easy to say to yourself "Why isn't he/she responding to me? What did I do wrong?" But know that silence doesn't necessarily mean you're not interesting or that you did something wrong. Sometimes, people are busy, saw the message and haven't had time to respond yet. Or simply, they're not in the mood to chat right away.
- Silence isn't a rejection: Keep in mind that the absence of a response isn't necessarily a bad thing. The other person may have their own reasons, and it's not necessarily related to you personally.
- Stay calm: The important thing is not to let the absence of a response affect your mood or self-confidence. Keep a relaxed and positive attitude, it will serve you in any case.
2. Give it a little time ⏳
Not everyone responds instantly. It often happens to see profiles that remain inactive for a while, but don't worry. Just because the person doesn't respond within an hour doesn't mean it's the end of the conversation!
- Patience, patience and more patience: Give the other person time to respond at their own pace. Dating apps are often used when you have a bit of free time, so you can't always respond right away.
- Repeating messages doesn't help: Insisting with another message while waiting for a response will only make the situation worse. Be patient and give the other time to come back to you when they want to.
3. Follow up subtly if necessary 🔄
If you don't get a response after a few days, it's normal to want to know if the person is still interested. But be careful, this follow-up must be subtle and not insistent. Here are some tips:
- Be light: Your follow-up should be relaxed and full of good humor. You can for example make a light remark about something specific in the other person's profile, or ask an open question that invites discussion.
- Avoid "hi again" or "so?": These messages are a bit too vague and can give the impression that you have nothing else to say. Choose something more engaging to restart the conversation.
4. Accept that some people won't respond 💔
You have to accept that in the end, some people won't respond, and that's OK. Not everyone is ready to engage in a conversation or may have a busy schedule. That doesn't mean they're ignoring you or find you boring, simply that the timing isn't right or they're not interested at the moment.
- Accept rejection with dignity: Even if it can be a bit disappointing, rejection is part of the game. The most important thing is not to take it too personally and keep moving forward!
- Don't be insistent: If after a follow-up, the person still doesn't respond, it's better to move on. Continuing to insist only inflicts unnecessary discomfort on everyone.
5. Keep yourself busy and don't let it ruin your day 🚀
One of the best things you can do when you don't get a response is to occupy your mind elsewhere. Do things you like, chat with other people, or why not: have fun filling your profile with new interesting information!
- Don't be obsessed: There's nothing wrong with asking questions, but don't let yourself be overwhelmed by doubt. Don't focus too much on one particular match.
- Keep a positive attitude: If someone doesn't respond, it's not the end of the world. Keep having fun and enjoying other opportunities on the app. The more relaxed you stay, the more attractive you'll be!
Conclusion: Keep your calm and keep moving forward 🌟
Handling a match who doesn't respond can be frustrating, but it's part of the online dating process. The key is to stay calm, patient, and not let yourself be overwhelmed by anxiety. If the person is interested, they'll come back to you when they have a moment. In the meantime, enjoy your experience and keep exploring other matches and opportunities. Remember that good things come to those who know how to wait. 😉
And if really, after a follow-up, there's still nothing... HARD BAN DEF! 🙅♂️🙅♀️
