FAQ
How long before sending a rescue?
If left on read, wait at least a day. Rescues work calm: one message with a concrete plan, not disguised anxiety.
Is double-texting always wrong?
No: a good rescue is a second message with value, humor and a plan. What kills it is repeating hellos with nothing new.
How do I reopen a weeks-old match?
Naturally, with a concrete hook: something from their profile or a plan. No reproaches about the silence.
When do I call the chat lost?
If a rescue with a plan gets no answer in 2-3 days, let it go. Pushing further turns silence into a block.
