We think it's best when conversations are between people who are interested in each other. However, on OkCupid (unlike other apps) you have the opportunity to send an introduction to someone before they've liked you. And messaging on OkCupid is always free!

1. Once you Like a profile, you have the opportunity to send an intro
2. Once you've sent the intro, they will see your full profile and your introduction at the same time, whether they're seeing you in Discover or their Intros tab. This is a great way to pique their interest and help you match on what matters.
3. If they reply to you or Like you back, you'll see the reply in your Conversations page and you can write to them again if you like!

We can’t guarantee that anyone will like your profile or message you as a result of purchasing a Boost (that’s entirely up to them!) but usually, you will see more activity. If you're subscribed to Incognito, please keep in mind that you cannot activate a Boost if your Incognito feature is turned on. You can read more about Incognito here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why didn't I get any new Likes or messages after my Boost?

Again, we can't guarantee that anyone will Like or message you when you purchase a Boost. It could be a timing issue, or there could be something lacking in your photos or profile. Check out our articles about how to make an awesome profile, and how to choose great photos.
