Connection requests
Send, receive, and respond to requests.
Last updated 2026-05-29
A connection request is how a conversation starts on Ulfa. There are no anonymous matches — you always know who has reached out.
Sending a request
From any profile, tap Send request. You can include a short opening message — profiles with thoughtful first messages get accepted at noticeably higher rates than blank ones.
Responding
Requests appear in your Requests inbox. You can:
- Accept — opens a conversation with the sender.
- Decline — closes the request without sending a notification to the sender.
- Report — for anything that violates community guidelines.
Expiration
Unanswered requests expire after 7 days. You'll see a reminder a day before the deadline.
Limits
- Free accounts can have a limited number of pending outgoing requests at a time.
- Paid plans raise or remove the limit; see the membership section for details.
