Questions worth asking
The questions people actually wonder about dating, answered straight.
Does matching mean we’re actually compatible?
It means you’re both interested. That’s a start, not a verdict. Compatibility is decided in conversation, not by an algorithm. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
Why isn’t anyone replying to me?
Could be timing. Could be the opener. “Hey” hands all the work to the other person. React to something specific on their profile instead. And sometimes people just go quiet. That’s dating, not a referendum on you.
Can AVEN guarantee I’ll meet someone?
No. No honest service can. We can give you better introductions and a better shot at a real conversation. What happens after that belongs to the two of you.
Should I give someone my number?
When you’re ready, not before. There’s no prize for moving fast. Keep talking here until the conversation itself makes the next step obvious.
What happens when I block someone?
It’s mutual and immediate: no more messages, and you won’t see each other in discovery again. They aren’t told you blocked them.
How much should I put in my profile?
Enough that someone has something to ask you about. A blank profile gets “hey”. A profile with opinions gets a conversation.
