No, if you click on "no reason/not interested" you will not get banned. If you revenge report to hopefully ban them, yes, you may get yourself banned for that.

If you haven’t made firm plans for a date yet it is ok to just stop responding and or unmatch on the dating app. If you have then obviously cancel the plans first. If you want to say something you can say It was nice to get to know you a little bit but I’m not interested in pursuing things further.

Just be prepared you might get some nasty messages. A lot of men don’t handle rejection well.

In my opinion if you haven’t made any plans, or been on one date but no second one was scheduled, it’s not ghosting. It’s online dating with strangers and we can all read the room that no response means no interest. We’re all feeling each other out and it’s ok to lose interest at any point, no reason needed. That’s just how dating is.

But if you have made plans for a date it’s not nice to stand someone up and just disappear. If no plans have been made, it’s no harm no foul to just stop responding and let the conversation die.

Just say it exactly like you’ve told us! He might understand, or he might kick off because his ego is being bruised or whatever, but that’s not your problem. Other option, you’re 20 and it’s Hinge, and you’ve never seen the man; just stop replying 😅

Shadowbanned probably. try buying the hinge subscription and if it doesn’t allow you, it means you’re banned.

i can see people liked my profile on my email but can't see anything on the app 😭

App delete karke dekho saari dikkatein gayab hojayegi 🥰

Uninstall and never install again 🥰

The app wants you to stop using it

If I don’t plan on getting in contact, I unmatch. Simples.

I find unmatching weird and rude (unless they were being abusive or harassing or something like that). It's more effort to delete someone from your match list than it is to let them sink to the bottom of it.

I don’t unmatch, and neither do the people I date. They’re all normal nice people. I find some people on here are weirdly aggressive about stuff like this.

I am a ruthless unmatcher. Dead conversations. Matches with no messages after a certain number of days. Everyone gets the axe eventually. I like being about to prioritize my attention towards the people I’m actively getting to know and minimize visual distraction.

Weirdly, my work email organization is….non existent and pure chaos lol.

I always delete in this case.

you can use contact list to block again.

yeah remove works, but thats assuming they didnt already see your picture first

No possible way. I usually just unpause and swipe few times a week then pause back again. Not comfortable with a public profile

Ever figure out an answer to this? I'm worried about running into my ex and would love if there was a way to block a contact before you even see them.

I believe the 'remove' option within the three dots drop down to the top right can do this.

"friend"=wife

Don’t sweat it. It probably wasn’t meant to be.

Move on to the next!

Just block them lol

Move on

Time to find new matches!

Some people here say they unmatch after they meet to keep their matches tidy but it’s also a way to change your profile and whatnot without the other person knowing

No it doesn’t. You have to unmatch after that

Do people ever unmatch when they have the contact info/are dating the person?

I mean, you have to know it’s a BS excuse no?

There are 4 separate steps needed to unmatch. You can’t “accidentally” unmatch. Anyone who uses that excuse is trying to pull one over on you.

Some people commented on one of my posts before that they shahs unmatch after meeting once they’ve moved on to text. I don’t see why. The biggest thing is when you’re dating someone you met online and you go back online you can tell if any changes have been made to their profile

No it does not lol. I think it just has back end statistics. I’ve used the we met feature and can confirm it does not un match. I think it may also help to show more people similar to that person in the discovery.

Nah. There are additional steps involved even if he accidentally hit unmatch. There’s a confirmation screen that you have to click yes. And after that the reason screen pops up and you’d have to choose a reason. Then it unmatches. Unless he’s literally blind it’s not accidental.

Yeah un matching someone is a slightly different process. Plus I think you have to a confirm also after hitting unmatch so it’s not like it’s a plausible mistake if he got it confused with the we met. I call BS by him

Most recently I unmatched because after a few dates she decided that I’m just a “friend”. Not why I’m on a dating app, thanks.

In the past it’s been because I got ingored

He might want to change his profile/optimize it but knows you would notice so if he unmatches you then he knows you can’t see it and question him about it.

Or he just really likes you and doesn’t want to see anyone else.

Four possibilities:

1. He unmatched by accident (I thought this was unlikely since you have to go through multiple steps, but people on this subreddit swear they've done it, so apparently some people are clumsy enough for it)

2. He deleted his profile for whatever reason

3. His account was banned

4. He reset his account.

He probably doesn’t have a need for the app? Maybe he deleted it?

Honestly I might be doing that

You have no idea if he unmatched you. He might have deleted his profile. It’s not like bumble where it tells you the difference.
