unmatches
Reverses a connection
Unmatches is the act of reversing a match on a dating app, severing a connection with someone you'd previously matched with: She unmatches anyone who opens with "hey".
The term emerged from swipe-based platforms where matching is the first step toward conversation—unmatching ends it, often without explanation.
