Approving Matches

After a meeting, both participants decide whether to create a match. This guide explains the approval process.

The Decision Process​

After Rating​

Once you've rated your meeting:

  1. You're asked if you want to match
  2. Choose "Like" or "Pass"
  3. Your decision is recorded
  4. Wait for the other person's decision

Making Your Choice​

"Like"

  • You want to exchange contact information
  • You see value in staying connected
  • You'd like to continue the relationship

"Pass"

  • The connection wasn't a fit
  • You don't wish to share contact info
  • You prefer not to continue

No Pressure​

  • Take your time to decide
  • There's no wrong answer
  • Choose what's right for you
  • The other person won't know your specific choice

Waiting for Results​

Waiting Approval Tab​

After you decide, check the Waiting Approval tab:

  • Shows connections pending final decision
  • You've decided, waiting for them (or vice versa)
  • Status updates when both have decided

Possible Outcomes​

  1. Both Like → Match created!
  2. You Like, They Pass → No match
  3. You Pass, They Like → No match
  4. Both Pass → No match

When Matches Are Created​

A match is created immediately when:

  • Both parties have rated the meeting
  • Both parties have clicked "Like"
  • The system confirms mutual agreement

Notification​

When a match is created:

  • You receive a notification
  • The match appears in "My Matches"
  • Contact information becomes available

Viewing Pending Decisions​

Your Dashboard​

Check the Matches section to see:

  • Meetings awaiting your decision
  • Meetings awaiting their decision
  • Completed matches

Status Indicators​

  • Pending your approval - You haven't decided yet
  • Waiting for their decision - You've decided, they haven't
  • Matched - Both approved
  • No match - One or both passed

Decision Tips​

When to "Like"​

Consider "liking" if:

  • You had a valuable conversation
  • You see potential for collaboration
  • You'd benefit from staying connected
  • They delivered on their profile promise

When to Pass​

Consider passing if:

  • The conversation wasn't productive
  • There's no clear synergy
  • You don't see ongoing value
  • The connection wasn't what you expected

Be Genuine​

  • Don't "like" out of obligation
  • Quality matches are better than many matches
  • Both parties benefit from honest decisions
  • No one is notified of passes

After Approval​

Once you've made your decision:

If Matched​

  1. View the match in "My Matches"
  2. Access their contact information
  3. Reach out to continue the relationship
  4. Build on your meeting conversation

If Not Matched​

  1. The connection ends
  2. No contact info is exchanged
  3. Both parties move on
  4. Consider it a learning experience

Can I Change My Decision?​
