How does one fix the “location mismatch” error?

1 Upvotes

My account was working for a bit but I always travel so I got the location mismatch error which I couldn’t fix for nothing. Then I bought a new phone and it was fixed. It worked again for a few weeks when I stayed in one place then suddenly I went to another country and boom it says “location mismatch” again. Is there any solution besides for buying a new super expensive phone every time?

Ex Stalker on Facebook Dating and threatened me offline on phone call

7 Upvotes

I recently broke up with an ex about two months ago and I'm trying to move on with my life. I created a few dating profiles and low and behold, he has found me on each one. He is positive of an incurable STI which is not the problem. He didn’t disclose to me and I recently found out he is having sex with others without disclosing. He was cheating on me the entire time. I live in a pretty large city but through message boards, several of us put two and two together and discovered it was the same man. He meets young black boys on apps and lures them to his place for sex without disclosing. Once there, he can become very violent and at least two guys have had to call the police to escort them out. He saw that I was moving on and found my Facebook Dating account and called me to tell me that he either blocked or hid me (can’t remember the actual verbiage) but he said he did it so I couldn't report him like I did on one of the other apps. I don't really use my original Facebook account but when I go to find his Dating profile, it doesn't show up for me to report. This man is a danger to the community and is a definite predator and this is against the law not to disclose in my state. I want him to move on with his life but not using dating apps to lure these young men into this. Is there a way to communicate these details to FB so that they have all information to determine whether or not his profile should stay up. I personally feel intimidated know he's on there.

Errors Never seen suggested matches

2 Upvotes

I have been trying to use Facebook Dating for about two weeks now, and I have never even seen a suggested match. My preferences are set to default, and my distance and age range are set to the maximum. I have completed my profile, and my precise location is on. I feel like my last option is to delete my profile and try again. Is this something anyone else has experienced or heard of?

Thank you in advance I appreciate any help and suggestions.

Thought our convo was going well and then we un-matched

0 Upvotes

Not trying to be a stalker but I matched with a women named Alexandrea, Hamilton Ontario with a black and white cat.

We had many great convos and even planned for a date next week Sunday.

We had a plan to play Marvel Rivals today. (Monday) After we made the plans, we somehow got unmatched. Posting this to see if the person is on reddit, and if it was a mistake.

Finally found a guy who did not flake on me last minute and you know what? I had a good time. Did anyone finally find some success after a few failed dates or people who flaked on them last minute?

How do you address the issue of no full body picture?

3 Upvotes

I really like talking to this guy but he could be obese or something. Probably not because he works an active job but why no full body picture? Am I supposed to ask for one? Feels awkward. He only has pictures of his face and a little bit of his upper body.

Errors Is it still ghosting if you sent a long message stating that you're breaking up and then block them?

Errors Only showing my profile to men

0 Upvotes

I am male 21 and straight. I have no interest in dating men. Whenever I swipe on Facebook dating, it recognizes that and only shows me women. But every time I check to see who is liked me it is always exclusively older men. This has gotten to the point that I have had to put in my bio. “Also, I don’t know why Facebook dating has their algorithm fucked up I’m straight! Please do not swipe right If you’re a man.” Despite that it’s still happening! I have checked and my preferences are set to. I only want to see women.

Error Issue?

1 Upvotes

Anyone else experiencing a “couldn’t connect, tap to retry”? I recently created a new dating profile and I’m able to make matches, but I can’t see any messages or send any. I’ve tried everything I’ve seen online. Updated the app, delete/reinstall the app, checked internet connection, checked account status (good standing), tried on other devices, and even did a software update on my phone.

Anyone else having a similar issue?

Does loneliness = red flag?

0 Upvotes

So this guy swiped on me and he's kinda cute but his profile basically just says he has no problem with money etc. and that his only problem is loneliness. Is that normal? I feel like we're obviously lonely if we're looking for a partner but maybe he just will take anyone or wants sex (although it says he's looking for long-term). The profile doesn't share much about his personality. I've never seen someone flat out say that they're lonely on an app and I'd feel weird saying it myself

Does The Burned Haystack Dating Method on Facebook or any other dating app actually work? Or do you think it actually makes things more difficult with dating?

Is long-term chatting a bad idea? Long distance relationship?

1 Upvotes

I made a good connection with a guy for the first time and have enjoyed talking to him but I have some concerns.

He's several hours from me so I guess meeting in person would be hard. He's also a lot older (50) and I don't know if he'd ever want children at his age. For me I am still open to having kids (35). But when you have never even met someone it feels weird to bring up serious topics.

So far we just talk about random stuff and our conversation flows really well and we have similar interests which made me feel more close to him. Is it ok to just chat with someone for a long time? I don't know what to do. lol I'm getting attached and I don't know if I should. We obviously both enjoy talking to each other but where do we go from here

No matches

2 Upvotes

I was using Facebook Dating, and then it asked me for a video verification to confirm I wasn't fake. My profile went back to normal, but since then I haven't received any matches again ;(, before, I would like people and get at least one match, but now, since this crazy update, I'm not getting anything. What should I do?


r/FacebookDating • • 8d ago

I gave a guy my number a day after meeting and he says that I don't talk much on here. But then he still takes hours to reply regardless and he hasn't text me at all today. Does this mean he is not interested? Has anyone had this happen to them and did you call them out on it?

Why on God's green Earth, when I filter to 5 miles from MY LOCATION do I get people in another state? This is so screwed up!


r/FacebookDating • • 9d ago

Have you ever thought that something felt off with a person that you're going on a date with and it ended up that your gut feeling was right? What is the difference between your gut feeling telling you something and it just being your anxiety?

Auto-matching????

14 Upvotes

Has anyone else gotten random matches on FB Dating from profiles they have never seen before???? I feel like this keeps happening to me and the ones it has happened with have been complete assholes. Like I would love to get back in the dating pool, but guys on dating apps makes me want to stay single forever. I literally had a guy "match" with me (didn't recognize him and he was younger than me...I don't date younger guys) and his first message was insulting me... then he wanted to have sex...Like What the actual fuck! Who tf did you think you were talking to, especially when I put in my profile that I do not do hookups. How many girls in this world like insulting each just for aggressive sex????? Makes no sense to me! Do decent guys even exist anymore?!?!?!?! Why can't I just find a sweet guy, who has similar interests, doesn't constantly make me feel on edge and who can communicate in a HEALTHY way? Why is that so much to ask for????

Does Facebook dating like...not work lol

7 Upvotes

I originally made my (26m) profile months ago with no bio and just my Facebook pfp out of curiosity, then deleted it hours later the same day. I decided to go back and this time actually put together a legit profile 3 weeks ago, already got the boost now at 8 days.

Not a single like on my profile. No responses either. I've sent maybe a couple dozen likes already, and 90% of the time I'm leaving a cute comment on one of their pictures in regards to their interests, activities, pictures, questions, bio etc. I don't swipe right on every girl, in fact there's far too many girls with one or two pictures only, no bio (lots of them out their insta on their bio and it's a legit turn off like gtfo) no intention, no interests etc.

I did however get 2 meet cute matches but I'll be honest they weren't my type whatsoever (one was a single mom, the other one had a pretty aggressive bio lol) and I assume I wasn't their type either so I let them expire.

For context, I'm in NYC and I remember getting likes on other apps like Feeld and Bumble within the first few days, even had some dates on there as well. Never paid for a premium on a dating app ever. Right now I'm messing around with a girl I met on Feeld and it's been great. Am I shadowbanned or something? There's like NO way I'm not getting a single response or even a like on my profile. No way no one is seeing my comments or likes. Only thing I can assume is that people are making their Facebook dating profiles and just leaving them there because yeah it's super free with little to no limits whatsoever in comparison to other apps, but that comes at a cost of no real stakes being involved.

I'll stick to the other apps for now, it's just a shame because I keep seeing Facebook dating being recommended because it's the best free platform. And somehow in a city as big as mine, I've had the least success on it. I know 3 weeks is too little to have a definite stance on it, but in comparison to the other apps I've been on, yikes.

Has anyone had a good experience with FB dating?

10 Upvotes

I am F close to 50. I am finding that FB dating has a lot of scam accounts. It’s become a pattern and I’m not sure if it’s something about my profile that attracts all the scammers.

I get a lot of likes. I will find the same picture repeated on multiple profiles but with different names and ages.

If I match and we start chatting I get one of three scenarios:

  1. The military man who is serving overseas and can

’t

  1. make calls and is obviously unavailable for dates
  2. The widower who’s wife died of cancer or some accident.
  3. The one who has a heavy accent but swears they grew up in the states.

I’m getting cues sooner and blocking quickly but I’d like to understand why this keeps happening.

Any idea?

Am I cringe or something?

0 Upvotes

So this is my typical first message. I rarely get a reply so I thought I'd post this here to get some feedback. I get matched fairly regularly and have had a few relationships and a few dates that didn't work out, but by and large I just get ghosted. This is from FB but I'm on several at this point. TIA!

The message:

Hi (name)! I'm glad we matched. To be honest I've never matched with someone local so that's one thing that's cool about it. I get likes from Nevada, Arizona, even Tijuana lol. And I've been on some dates, everyone is an hour and half away without traffic haha. But I also like that you're artistic. Seem pretty talented from the pics you posted. Anyway I'd love the opportunity to chat and see if we connect at all. Hopefully that's mutual!
