Matches come with a time limit, so they don't sit around unanswered. You'll see how much time is left in the top corner of your match on your Home page, like 34h left.

Date matches

• You have 48 hours to send your match an invitation.
• Once an invitation is sent, the other person has 48 hours to reply.

If time runs out, your match will say planning time or response time has ended.

Friend matches

At most schools, you and your friend match both need to send a message in your chat within 48 hours. Once you've both said something, the chat stays open. Your match will remind you, for example "Send a message to keep this open" or "Reply to keep this open".
