So I have contacted a match through email, he viewed me the next day but hasn't accepted the email, nor closed me. How long do you wait till you close him?

What does it hurt to leave the match open for awhile until you can be reasonably assured that it's a no-go? Maybe they're busy communicating with other matches which is what you should be doing too.

There's no 'rule' for when to close a match.

I usually archive all the matches I don't initiate contact with, which is like a 'soft close'.

For those I contact and they don't respond, I'll give them up to a month to do something, after which I'll close them. With your situation, you may as well, give him at least a few weeks out of courtesy. But don't count on him responding at all.

Also remember there are non paying members on eH. They simply can't communicate unless there is a free communication weekend or event. You might want to keep profiles open through those events. A few of them will actually 'come alive' for that short period and are worth holding on to, just in case.
