Connection is a two-way street. Before a conversation can get off the ground, both members have to have swiped to the right to create a match.
Either member will be able to send the first message directly from the “You're Friends” screen, which appears once two members match, or you can go to your connections screen by tapping the grey logo in the bottom right-hand corner to view and message your matches.
Remember: You have 72 hours to respond to a First Move! If you see that a connection is expiring soon, you can use your daily 24-hour extend feature to give them a little more time to break the ice.
