Muting a Suspicious Match Without Alerting Them is the direct counter to Manufactured Urgency: A request framed as needing an answer or action "right now" or "today," with the consequences of delay described as severe. Use a quiet mute or reduced-visibility option first if you want time to think without escalating.

    Use the pause to gather more information or decide your next step.

  3. 03
