Icebreakers are your chance to send special people an instant message without having had a match with them. With your Icebreaker, you can literally break the ice between you.

Basic members are entitled to one Icebreaker a day. Premium members can send three Icebreakers a day. So it is always something special to send or receive an Icebreaker.
The icebreaker is your first contact with another person. We therefore recommend that you design your icebreakers individually and creatively. Copy & paste when interacting with real people never goes down well. Show your best side, your personality (humorous, charming, elegant or cool) and your genuine interest by responding to the other person's profile or profile pictures. Sometimes it's the first impression that counts.

Your Icebreaker was rejected? Cheer up. Stay active and send a creative message to the next interesting person. You may soon have sent the first message for the last time. You can find some more inspiration for future Icebreakers on our blog.

 

               

 

 

       

Surveys carried out among our users have shown that there are still a number of outstanding issues in this area: Women get too many chat requests, and men get too few. And the messages are often too monotonous and boring, e.g. “Hey” and “Hi, how are you?”.

This is where the icebreaker comes in handy! It should bring life to your inbox and quality to your chats, give messages greater value and give everyone the chance to stand out.

As in all communication, there are two sides to the icebreaker: the person who writes the message and the person who receives it. Do you need a better overview of the two sides? Then take a look at the following descriptions.

 

Send Icebreaker - this is how it works:

Pack your icebreaker in a crisp 250 characters or record a voice message. Try to be funny, original or charming. You can also respond to the person's profile. Anything is better than "Hi, how are you?"!

(Statistically speaking, extremely long chat requests as well as requests such as "Hi" or "Hi, how are you?" have the lowest probability of a response. So feel free to be a little more creative.)

Our tip for you: Pay attention to grammar and spelling. Mistakes or careless errors can quickly deny you opportunities.

Receive Icebreaker - this is how we let you know:

When someone sends you an Icebreaker, you will be notified by a push notification. The receipt of a new Icebreaker is also displayed in a special way within the app.

You will see a list of all your open Icebreakers under "New Icebreakers". In this list, you will only see the profile picture of the Icebreaker that has been open the longest and you can only react to this Icebreaker, e.g. send a reply. If you have received several Icebreakers, you can open them one after the other and curiously discover the people who have shown an interest in you.

If you open an Icebreaker, you can see all the other pictures of the person who sent you a message by clicking on the profile picture - without having to visit the profile.

There is no list of unanswered or rejected icebreakers. Everyone could always be the last. This creates more excitement, increases the personal value of each message and ensures fairer chances.

As soon as your Icebreaker has been answered, you will find the message in your chats and you can write to each other indefinitely.

If you can't remember who you have already sent an Icebreaker to, take a look at the person's profile or click on the envelope symbol:

• Normal envelope symbol: You haven't sent the person an Icebreaker yet. It's high time!
• An envelope symbol with a small arrow: You have already sent an Icebreaker. But the person has not yet responded
• An envelope symbol with an "x": You have already sent the person an icebreaker. But this was rejected.

Basic members have one Icebreaker per day. As soon as you send it, it will recharge within 24 hours. If you have already sent your daily Icebreaker but would like to write another one, you will be redirected to the page with our Premium subscriptions when you click on the envelope icon.

Premium members have three Icebreakers a day. If you send one, it will recharge in eight hours. If you have sent several, they will recharge one after the other. Each Icebreaker needs eight hours until it is ready for use again. If you have used all three in quick succession, it will take 24 hours to recharge them all.

As a Premium member, you can buy additional Icebreakers. So you don't have to despair if you see someone in a match and they knock your socks off, but you've already used up all your daily Icebreakers. You can simply buy more!

We want to save our female members from overcrowded inboxes. This means they are not only on the defensive and answer countless Icebreakers, but also have time to be active in the match and give likes. In addition, the icebreakers take on greater significance due to the limitation. Ideally, they are personal and individual messages that express an honest interest and therefore have a higher chance of success.

So avoid just a short "Hi, how are you" and instead draw attention to yourself with a creative and personalized message among all the competition.
