      That depends on the app. On hinge, you can (and should) send a message with your like.

      On tinder and close relatives, you can only work on your profile.

        Bumble matches you, but only women can send first! So even if you match, you can’t chat lol.

          True. I had a very poor experience on bumble, where I didn’t get many interactions. Not being able to message first I think takes away one of my few advantages.
