Go to Messages, tap Requests, then tap Received. That list is everyone who has sent you a request on Boo. Seeing who viewed you is a separate, premium feature called Views, and it only counts people who actually opened your page, not everyone who saw you on their Match page.

Where your requests are

Everyone who has reached out to you is waiting in one place: Messages, then Requests, then the Received tab. Check it every time you open Boo.

It is the most valuable screen in the app. Every name on it belongs to a woman who already said yes to you in some form. The Match page is a list of strangers. The Received tab is a list of openings.

Views are a different number

Views live on your own profile, and seeing who viewed you is a premium feature. They also measure something narrower than the name suggests. A view means someone opened your profile. It does not count every woman who saw you on her Match page and moved on without opening it.

So the two lists answer two different questions. Requests tell you who wants to talk. Views tell you who was curious enough to look closer, whether or not she did anything about it.

Answer requests the same day

A request is a warm opening, and warm openings cool. The woman who sent it was on Boo and interested at the moment she sent it. By the next day she has seen more people and started talking to some of them.

So answer the same day when you can. A conversation that starts while you are both still paying attention has an energy that a reply two days later does not. If you only open Boo once a week, you are handing your best openings to the men who open it every evening.

What to say back

Do not just accept the request and wait. She made the first move. Your job is to make the conversation happen.

Find one detail on her page worth reacting to, and have some fun with it. If she has a photo on a mountain, ask whether she made it to the top or just posed at the car park. If Boo shows her personality type as compatible with yours, a playful line about it works well. Keep it short, one or two lines.

You also do not owe every request a conversation. If a woman who reached out is clearly not someone you would take on a date, leave it. Chatting politely with women you have no interest in eats the time you should be spending on the ones you do.

a dating coach's advice is to have a simple format for these first messages instead of writing each one from scratch: notice something about her, turn it into a line, send it. It keeps you quick and it keeps your quality steady. Then keep the conversation moving toward a plan. A few easy back-and-forth messages, then suggest a drink and a day.

What your Views count tells you

If you pay for Views, use them to diagnose your account, not as a list of women to chase.

Compare your views with your requests. Lots of views and few requests means your first photo is doing its job. Women open your profile, and then something past the first photo loses them, which is usually your other photos or what you wrote.

Few views points earlier. Either women see you on their Match page and do not open you, which points straight at your first photo, or you are barely being shown at all, which is worth ruling out before anything else.

Do not message a woman just because she viewed you. A view is curiosity, not interest. The women on your Received list are the ones who told you they want to talk, so start there.

When the Received list is empty

An empty list is information, not a verdict. First make sure you are visible at all. An account that never turned on location services sits in Boo's Spirit area, and while it is there it is not shown to other people in their daily souls.

If you are visible, work from the top down. Your first photo decides whether women open you. Your other photos and your written answers decide whether the women who open you send a request. My habit is to test changes one by one and hold on to whatever improves the results. So swap one piece, give it a week, and watch the Received tab before you touch the next.
