Spring cleaning your online dating inbox shouldn’t just be reserved for the months of March and April. It should be a year round event where you are constantly organizing your potential interests, and deleting those who’ve long since said goodbye to. Clutter in your inbox can cause to overlook messages from people you are actually compatible with and it can just cause general stress when it comes to looking for love online.
That’s why you need to clear the junk, and make room for the treasures. Follow the tips below, and make way for brand new space for online dating:
Get rid of old and irrelevant messages
Are still holding onto flirty messages from mrmotorbike123? Your romance was short-lived but you sometimes like to swoon over that romantic prose he wrote you at the time of courtship. If the relationship ended sourly, then we say clear the clutter and move forward. However, if you’re feeling sentimental then copy/paste the messages to a word document where it is out of your face, and you can look at it when you really feel the urge. Furthermore, get rid of any horrible messages from men/women who rubbed you the wrong way. They are just creating negative energy in your inbox.
Take advantage of the block button
There are a lot of creeps on online dating sites. It’s a common fact that comes with the territory. They may be spammers or actual psychos – that’s why it’s important to check your inbox for repeat offenders and people who constantly prompting you either to buy something or are bringing you down. Take advantage of that little block, and wave goodbye to them forever and ever.
You might ignite an old spark
When you’re going through your old messages, you might come across some correspondence from someone you were interested in but whatever reason it didn’t work out. They may have not replied, or maybe they were dating someone else. This is your chance to check their profile again, or message them again to see if the time is appropriate now.
