Run a Texting Sim chat

A Texting Sim is a 24-hour text chat where you play the match, then score how it went.

3 min read · For reviewers

In a Texting Sim, you play someone the client matched with, and you text with them the way a real match would. When the 24 hours are up, you score how they did and tell them what to change. It works on iPhone and Android.

Starting the chat

  1. In the My reviews tab, open the request that says Start the live chat.
  2. Read the Chat context first. It has the scenario the client picked and the goal they want to practice.
  3. Tap Start chat. Starting opens the 24-hour window, and you send the first message.

Start when you know you’ll be around for the next day. The clock starts the moment you open it.

While the chat is open

Live chats sit at the top of My reviews with the time left. When the client replies, the request says Client replied, and you’ll get a notification.

Reply like a real match would, not instantly and not like a coach. Stay in character, keep it clean, and never share real personal details. You can send photos too, up to 20 in a chat. Messages can be up to 5,000 characters.

The report card

When the 24 hours end, the chat closes and the request says Chat wrapped up. Tap Write report. You’ll see the whole chat while you write.

Would They Get a Date?
Yes, Almost or Not Yet.
Scores
Banter & Wit, Pacing & Escalation and Engagement, each from 1 to 5.
What Worked
The texting habits and moments that landed.
Where You Lost Me
Where the conversation stalled or lost momentum.
Next Time, Try This...
Specific things to try in their next chat.

You need an answer to Would They Get a Date?, all three scores, and at least what worked or a next move. Then submit it like any other review. Your deadline is on the request.

Something not working?

  • Your message won’t send. Tap Retry under the message. If the 24 hours are over, the chat no longer takes messages.
  • You can’t find Write report. The report card opens once the 24-hour window ends.
  • A photo won’t attach. You may have reached 20 photos for this chat.
