What to do if a match feels awkward in the lift
Because you share a building, not just an app. Practical guidance for keeping boundaries clear and calm.
It happens: you match with someone, exchange a few messages, and then realize you aren't feeling it. Or worse, you go on a date and it just doesn't click. The thought of running into them at the gym can feel daunting.
The best approach is radical but kind transparency. A simple message like, 'Hey, I've really enjoyed chatting, but I'm not feeling a romantic connection. See you around the building!' is usually enough. Most people appreciate the honesty and it diffuses the tension.
If you do run into them, a polite, brief 'Hi' is all that's needed. You don't owe them a conversation, but you don't need to hide either. If someone crosses a line or makes you uncomfortable, use the block function immediately—our team reviews reports to ensure the community remains safe.
