No Responses
There are several reasons why you may not be getting responses to messages that you have sent to a particular member:
- Not all members check their messages frequently.
- Some members choose not to respond to all contacts, although Match encourages everyone to reply to all messages received.
- Not all members are subscribers. Only paying members can reply to messages they receive, unless you Mutually Match.
- If you would like to see if a message you've sent has been read, upgrade to Platinum or Diamond, and you'll have Message Read Receipts included in your subscription.
Increasing my Responses
If you're not getting the responses you are hoping for, consider the following:
- Edit your profile to include more about you! This makes it easier for other members to spark a conversation with you.
- We recommend making a lot of initial contact attempts.
- It may also help to expand your search criteria to find more prospective matches. Take advantage of custom search and experiment with different search parameters.
- If you're not receiving any responses at all, be sure you're checking for responses at the email address you gave us when you signed up. It could be that your responses are simply landing at a different email address. If you are looking at the right address, also check whether you might have a Spam filter that's catching your Match messages. Check with your email provider about how to add Match as a trusted sender.
