Similarly to other dating apps, you can swipe left to show you are not interested in the presented profile.
If you like someone on OkCupid and they like you back, then you two will be mutually matched. However, what if you accidentally unmatch someone on OkCupid? We will answer this question and much more in today’s article so read on to find out.
If You Unmatch Someone, Will They Show Up Again?
Fortunately or unfortunately, yes, if you unmatch someone on the OkCupid app, they very well might show up again in your stack.
Whether you unmatched someone intentionally or accidentally, there is a chance that they could show up again while you are swiping through potential matches.
Now, there has been some confusion and debate on forums such as Reddit about whether or not unmatching someone on OkCupid is the same as blocking them.
However, it has been confirmed by the folks at OkCupid that unmatching with someone is essentially the same as blocking them.
This is made evident in their statement that “Blocking and Unmatching are the same features.” This means that if you accidentally or even intentionally unmatch someone on OkCupid, then they will be put on your “Blocked” list.
However, this does not mean that you will never see their OkCupid profile ever again on the OkCupid app or website. Since unmatching someone on OkCupid is the same thing as blocking them, you may assume that you would not see their profile again; however, this is not the case, as many users have claimed to still run into profiles that they have unmatched or blocked on OkCupid.
If You Unmatch on OkCupid, Can You Match Again?
Lucky for you, yes, if you have accidentally or intentionally unmatched someone on OkCupid, you can be matched with them again.
Since unmatching someone on OkCupid is the same as blocking them after you have unmatched with someone, they will be put on your “Blocked” list.
This means that you can unblock the person that you accidentally unmatched on the OkCupid app or website. If you would like to unblock someone on the OkCupid app, then you can do so by simply selecting your profile icon, then going to your “Account Settings.”
After you have selected the “Account Settings” option, a settings menu will come up and you will want to select the “Privacy” option, then go to the “Blocked and Unmatched” option.
After you have unblocked someone on the OkCupid app or website, then you two will be automatically rematched once again.
So, if you accidentally unmatched someone on the OkCupid app or website, do not stress about it too much, as the action can easily be undone by unblocking them.
This is a clever loophole that OkCupid worked into their app and website for a situation such as this when you have accidentally unmatched someone.
While it may not be ideal for when you intentionally mean to unmatch or block someone on the OkCupid app or website; however, in this case, it can be a saving grace when you did not mean to unmatch someone.
With this information in mind, you could unmatch someone on the OkCupid app or website, then unblock them and make a simple but adorable joke such as “We are twice the match” or “You had me at the second match.”
This might seem ridiculous or cheesy but it could be a decent icebreaker or even a silly way to catch their attention.
So, while you might feel bad or embarrassed that you accidentally unmatched someone on OkCupid, you can turn it around in your favor and maybe even make it an inside joke between you two.
Can You Match With Someone Twice on OkCupid?
For whatever reason, you might have, yes, you can match with someone two times on the OkCupid app or website.
While it might be a bit confusing, it is doable. Perhaps you are looking to make a “meant to be” joke by matching twice someone on OkCupid or maybe you are simply curious.
Regardless of your reasons, you can match with someone two times on the OkCupid app or website. See, when you unmatch someone on OkCupid, as previously depicted, it is the same as blocking them, which means when you unmatch someone on OkCupid, you also effectively block them as well.
With this in mind, when you unmatch someone on OkCupid, they will be moved to your “Blocked and Unmatched” list, which is found in your account Privacy settings.
However, if you were to go to your “Blocked and Unmatched” list and unblock the user that you previously blocked, then you two will automatically be rematched. This means that you two have effectively been matched two times.
This may seem silly or pointless to some but it could make for a cute joke for someone you have your eyes on in the OkCupid app or possibly the website.
With this information in mind, you could unmatch someone on the OkCupid app or website, then unblock them and make a simple but adorable joke such as “We are twice the match” or “You had me at the second match.”
This might seem ridiculous or cheesy but it could be a decent icebreaker or even a silly way to catch their attention. Who knows, you might start something by matching two times with someone. Give it a go and you just might get lucky.
If I Unmatch Someone on OkCupid, Can They Still See The Conversation?
Fortunately or unfortunately, no, when you unmatch someone on the OkCupid app or website, they will not be able to view any previous conversations shared between you two.
This means that when you have unmatched (essentially blocked) someone on the OkCupid app or website, all of your conversations will be removed from their “Conversations” page.
There have been some OkCupid users that have reported to supposedly seeing conversations disappear and reappear; however, this can most likely be chalked up to a technical glitch or bug.
This is the only feasible way that someone could guess that you have unmatched (effectively blocked) them on the OkCupid app or website.
This is because any previous conversations shared between you two will be removed from their “Conversations” page, which could hint to them that you have unmatched or blocked them on OkCupid.
So, if you are uncomfortable with the idea that someone that you unmatched (blocked) on OkCupid could revisit past conversations between you two, you should not worry yourself too much since they will not be able to view past conversations.
If I Unmatch Someone on OkCupid, Will They Know?
Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, yes, if you unmatch someone on the OkCupid app or website there are ways that they could figure out that you have unmatched them.
One feasible way that they could figure out that you have unmatched (blocked) them on the OkCupid app or website is by checking their “Conversations” page.
As previously depicted in the last segment, when you have unmatched (effectively blocked) someone on the OkCupid app or website, all of your past conversations with that person will disappear from their “Conversations” page.
This means that they could check their “Conversations” page and notice that your conversations have been removed, which could confirm their suspicion that you have unmatched (blocked) them on OkCupid.
As previously mentioned, after you have unmatched (blocked) someone on the OkCupid app or website, they could still possibly run into your profile; however, since unmatching someone on OkCupid is the same as blocking them if they tap on your profile, it will seem as if you have deleted your OkCupid profile.
Now, OkCupid assured its users that this is the only way someone can figure out that you have unmatched (blocked) them, as they will not notify the other user that you have unmatched/blocked them.
So, do not worry about them receiving a notification informing them that you have unmatched/blocked them on the OkCupid app or website, as OkCupid will never notify someone that they have been unmatched (effectively blocked).
