With Bumble, swiping right is more than a flash of your thumb, it simply means that you are showing interest in something that you see on someone else’s profile.
Swiping right indicates that you’re interested in widening your pool of potential dates (for love or friendship) or expanding your professional network. This is what happens when you swipe right on Bumble

The Match: A Shared Interest
By swiping right, you are indicating interest in someone. On Bumble, you don’t move to the next step unless both people want to. The real magic happens when the person you’ve swiped right on swipes right on your profile too: You match! This mutual link is vital on Bumble, as it sets the app apart from other dating services. There is no match without mutual interest of both people.
The Conversation Starter: Who Starts It?
After you swipe and match, Bumble does something different: The user seeking a date (the woman in heterosexual matches) initiates the conversation. This is one of Bumble’s signature features, aimed at giving power to its users by allowing the person who wants to begin conversation to make the first move. In same-sex matches, either person can initiate the chat.
Profile Visibility: Who Connects With You?
By swiping right, your profile becomes visible to the other person — assuming they haven’t already swiped right on you. If they’ve also swiped right on you, you’ll match immediately. And until then, you’ll simply be among their pool of potential connections, biding your time until they swipe right on you back.
Bumble Boost and Bumble Premium: Swipe with Power
The quality of swipe is a whole different experience for Bumble Boost and Bumble Premium users. By purchasing Bumble Boost, you’ll also be able to see who has already swiped you right, making it simple to discover and match with prospective partners. If you’ve swiped right on someone who has also swiped right on you, the match occurs immediately. These pro features will help you progress faster and get more noticed.
Wrong Swipes: What Happens If They Don’t Swipe Right Back?
If the person you swiped right on doesn’t swipe right on you, you don’t match up, and they will never see your profile unless they swipe right on you in the future. In that scenario, it’s about timing and luck, as Bumble’s algorithm will show you potential matches that log onto the app based on your activity and preferences.
Sequence of Swipes: Keeping Track of Connections After swiping right, you can always go back and see who you’ve swiped on. If you swipe left by mistake or simply have a change of heart, Bumble allows you to use its Backtrack feature (which paid users can use) to reverse your last swipe. But if you swipe right and don’t match, that person won’t be able to see your profile again unless they swipe right on you as well.
While swiping right on Bumble serves as your first move in connecting with someone, it’s only the start of the conversation. Whether you’re looking for love, friendship or a new gig, your right swipe initiates your potential next great back-and-forth.
