Why Am I Not Getting Matches on the Boo Dating App?

On Boo, a match needs two people to send love to each other. So no matches usually traces back to one of five things: your first photo, your filters, the small daily set Boo shows free users, a Requests inbox you have not opened, or a thin pool near you. Check them in that order. The first three cost nothing to fix, and the last one is a fact about your area, not a verdict on you.

Boo asks you to verify before you can chat, and it compares your face with your first photo. So that picture does two jobs. It passes the check, and it decides whether a woman sends love back.

Make it a clear shot of your face in daylight, recent, with nobody else in the frame. A dark, distant or heavily edited picture fails both jobs. If you have not verified yet, do it now, since a blue checkmark next to your username tells her the person is real.

Then show a few different days and places behind it. She is working out what an ordinary week with you looks like, and one good picture and four weak ones tells her very little.

The Match page lets you filter by gender, relationship type, age, personality type and distance. Men often set these so tightly that the app has almost nobody left to show.

Widen distance to the farthest you would really travel for a first date. Widen age by a couple of years at each end. If you filter by personality type, loosen it, because a type is a starting point for a conversation and a poor reason to rule someone out.

Her filters work on you as well. A woman who has capped her age range below yours never sees you, however well you would get along.

Free users see a limited number of people each day, and a limited number of Loves. Boo calls the people it shows you souls. That cap means your results depend on spending each Love with care.

Most men burn the whole set in one sitting on anyone who looks acceptable. a dating coach's view of every app is that liking nearly everyone tells it you have no standards, and it then tends to show you fewer of its best women. Boo has not said it works that way, but the advice costs nothing to follow. Send love only to women you would be glad to meet.

You can raise the daily number by subscribing to Boo Infinity or by earning love and levels through the Universe communities. Posting and commenting there is the free route, and it also lets women see how you write before they have decided about you.

A Love lands in the other person's inbox as a request. If she sends love back, you match. So some of your matches are waiting for you, and you may not know it.

Go to Messages, then Requests, then Received. Women who already said yes are listed there. Answering one is the easiest message you will write all week, since the interest is already on the table.

If you want to speak to someone before matching, the blue paper airplane sends a direct message. Free users pay for it with coins. Use it for the few women you truly want to talk to, and keep the message to one or two lines about something real on her page.

Nobody can tell you how many women use Boo in your city. A big city and a small town are different cases, and one man's review from one place says little about yours.

Count it. For a week, go through each day's set and note how many are women in your age range you would actually take out. If that number is tiny every day, the pool is thin where you live. Run a second app beside Boo for two weeks and compare. My advice is that you do not have to stay loyal to one app.

A match that sits untouched goes cold. Write within a day, with one line about something specific on her page, and end on a question she can answer in a sentence. Shorter works better, and commenting on something she wrote reads as more genuine than commenting on her looks.

Keep a few real exchanges going, then suggest a place and a night, or a short call. coach gets from a first message to a phone number in about four to seven short texts, each with a purpose. A conversation that never turns into a plan is just a pen pal.

Fix the photo and the filters first. Then use Boo properly for two weeks and write down four numbers: Loves sent, matches, conversations that got past a few messages, and dates set.

Read them in order. Few matches means the photo, the filters or the women you chose. Matches with silence means your opening lines. Conversations that stall mean you are waiting too long to ask for a drink. The weak step shows you where to put your effort.
