Tinder is one of the world’s most popular dating apps for finding the perfect partner. The app works in the classic way of swiping left and right, and once both people like each other, they are ‘matched’. If you have your Tinder notifications turned on and a match has happened, you have received that exciting notification: Someone likes me!
Excited, you wondered who this person was and opened the Tinder app, but to your great disappointment: No one shows up!
So how can something like this happen? Didn’t the app just send me a notification that I was matched with someone?
Tinder Send Me a Match Notification But Why No Match?
I am sure you have given a lot of thought to why this might have happened. Because if everything had turned out the way it was supposed to, maybe you would have had the opportunity to meet your potential partner.
Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with Tinder. So it wasn’t caused by an app-oriented problem. It was most likely caused by the person liking you for a moment and swiping right quickly. He then took a look at your profile and decided that you were not a potential partner and removed the match. Since you opened the Tinder app after the ‘mystery’ person removed the match, you didn’t see the match. It might be a bit ‘harsh’ but this is most likely the case.
So why might the person have removed the match? One of the following could have caused this:
- Your other photos didn’t interest the person
- Having a word in your bio that will alienate him/her
- Your position at that moment is far away from it
- Matching with another person who he thinks could be his potential partner
What Should I Do After This?
What is done is done and you cannot bring back your match with that person. There are limited things you can do to avoid the same situation in the future. Let’s see what these are:
- All your photos should be the best in your gallery, not just your profile photo
- Be careful about what you write about yourself or your outlook on life. This can push people away from you.
- Be who you are, don’t try to pretend to be someone else. This will make a good impression on the other person.
Frankly speaking, there is not much else you can do. You can also use one of Tinder’s premium subscriptions and benefit from unlimited likes. This will greatly increase your chances of matching with more people.
