Likes and no reply

New to Facebook dating. What is going on with getting likes and no replies? Am I missing something? Sometimes I send the wave and sometimes I give a greeting introduction and still no response. I'm new to this. What is the deal with that?

Am I using it right?

I’ve been on the Facebook dating thing for a while now. I send likes, I comment on photos, and get nothing back. Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something? Any tips or help would be appreciated cause I’m a bit tired of getting nowhere and hearing how others are finding others

Need insight

My ex blocked me on Facebook in May 2025 when I told him that my partner knew of our relationship (we were both in committed long term relationships). He moves out of the country in January of 2026. He then creates n instagram account. However he does not block me. Is this just an oversight? Like maybe he doesn’t know that both meta companies have separate privacy settings. Or maybe he’s indifferent. I know I’m overanalyzing and need to move on. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Pretty sure I’ve been shadowbanned for false report

3 days ago I randomly started getting disgusting comments on my public Facebook pics from some random dude. Sometimes these dudes find your actual profile and I assume that’s what happened. Ever since, I haven’t been getting any likes (not trying to brag or anything, but I used to get a TON all day) Now I haven’t gotten any for 3 days, but still can respond to matches in my inbox and swipe through people. But my profile has clearly been hidden. I think he likely reported my profile. I checked my Facebook account standing, and it says it’s in good standing. But I don’t think it’s a coincidence the same time this man found my Facebook and started commenting things on my public pics, that my dating profile stopped functioning correctly. Will it eventually start showing people my profile again? I didn’t even do anything wrong!

He's not actually interested, is he?

Can't tell if this guy is just messaging me out of boredom or he just sucks at texting. Or is it too soon to tell?

Edit: I feel like its important to note, he hasnt written anything on his profile. No bio, no prompts. So there's not much to reference from his profile into conversation.

From boom to bust

Question: Has anyone else experienced getting plenty of likes, matches, and conversations, only for it to suddenly feel like someone flipped a switch—and then you go weeks with virtually zero activity?

For guys, how often after joining do you get / except likes back?

Joined a few days ago and liked a few women, but was curious when the earliest they'd respond is.

I saw that every week your profile gets boosted so I guess I'll get boosted via that

Thank you to all, your tips are great! Some tips you guys included were: light outside, smile with your eyes (I tried) show some muscle if you have (this is what I have for better or worse) better shirt (this I just realized now after taking the pic....oops)

This a common issue where people’s age will say, for example, 30, and in their bio they will be like “idk why it says 30 I’m really 25” like ik that you set your age on Facebook so why lie?

Beware of this woman

Match with her had a conversation with her and then she immediately asked me for money just when I thought Facebook dating couldn't get worse 😂😂

He’s never texting me first

We went on a date, went well (both 23). We texted every day since, but it’s been always me reaching out. His replies are the opposite of dry and he always likes/reacts to my texts. My only issue is that I don’t receive a text unless I initiate the conversation. He even invited me to a double date with his friend. It’s not like I put him in this situation and he offered it out of pity or akwardness, he made the offer himself, and started the subject out of nowhere. I don’t see why he would do that if he didn’t like me. But also, we went today the whole day without texting. I know that if I did reach out first, I would get a very enthoustiastic and detailed reply in max 1-2h, but since I didn’t, nothing from him, at all. But I know he’s active online as he’s reposting stuff. I thought he’s also maybe uncomfortable and not confident texting first, but he should also not feel like that considering I’ve been always reaching out, which clearly shows him that I like him. Am I overthinking? Does he like me but just isn’t a tester? Does he like me enough to text back but doesn’t care enough to give initiative?
