I get matches but no conversations on Tinder. What am I doing wrong?

There may be several reasons for receiving matches on Tinder but not conversations.

• Think about how you strike up conversations: For some people, making the suggestion to get together right away could come across as overly direct or intimidating. Rather, attempt to adopt a more laid-back manner and establish rapport by means of dialogue prior to proposing a meeting.

• It's also possible that your matches aren't striking up conversations on their own. Sometimes people are hesitant to initiate contact, which can be frustrating. Don't be scared to message someone you've matched with if you're interested in them and strike up a conversation.

• Remember that your matches might not be in the right frame of mind or circumstance right now to have meaningful conversations. They might be occupied, taking a vacation from Tinder, or conversing with a more intriguing person. It's also possible that they took offense at something you said in your initial message or in your profile.

In the end, there may be a number of reasons your matches aren't resulting in conversations, so it's important to try with other possible matches and not take it personally.
