what happens when you unmatch on hinge
Hi Dr. Richards, my name's Sam. I understand that you're a psychiatrist. I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety related to my dating life, particularly on dating apps like Hinge.
Hello Sam. I'm here to help you navigate through your concerns. Let's start by you giving me a brief overview. What is the specific issue on Hinge that's causing anxiety for you?
Well, I've had several interactions where things seem to be going well, and then all of a sudden, the other person unmatches me. It's really jarring, I start questioning myself and it's starting to affect my self-esteem.
I understand how that can be hurtful and unsettling, Sam. When you unmatch with someone on Hinge, it's as if that person has disappeared, they can no longer contact you, and you do not appear on their list anymore. This can lead to feelings of rejection and self-doubt. However, keep in mind that this does not in any way define your worth.
I understand that, theoretically. But it's difficult not to take it personally when it happens.
That's completely normal, Sam. It's human to feel a sense of rejection when something like that happens. But, it's important to remember that people unmatch for a variety of reasons that often have nothing to do with you personally. Let's work on strategies to help you cope with these feelings and be kind to yourself during these times.
