On Bumble, women always make the first move. Bumble was designed to counter problematic and antiquated hetero dating norms, so the above rules do not apply to same-gender matches or to connections made in Bumble BFF. In these cases, either person has 24 hours to make the first move before the connection expires.

Do women really have to message first on Bumble?

Bumble works the same for men and women, except that men arent allowed to send the first message to a woman theyve matched with. Once a woman sends a message to a man, they can chat without any restrictions. After making a match on Bumble, you can see and chat with contacts from the conversation page.
