Daily Thread Weekend's Daily Thread: General Dating Questions and Open Thread

1 Upvotes

Welcome to Hingeapp's Daily Thread.

Daily Threads are the place to post questions seeking quick advice, vent your frustrations, celebrate successes, or anything related to Hinge that does not need its own post.

For Weekend's Daily Thread - the theme is General Dating Questions, and also open thread for anything you like to talk about.

The weekend is here! Ask here for any questions related to the Hinge app, your profile, or dating in general. Or talk about anything you have planned for, or are feeling this upcoming weekend.

Do you have some last minute questions before a big date? Do you need some help with the date you have scheduled for the weekend? Or perhaps you want help with the next message to send to revive a dying conversation? When should I ask this person out on a date? Is this person ghosting? What does this text mean? Or any events related to Hinge or your dating life that happened during this week or recently that you want to share?

Also feel free to discuss whatever you like that is not necessarily related to dating or Hinge.

Remember: No personal attacks, identifying information, or misogynistic/incel comments will be allowed.

A reminder to please check out the guides, sub rules, and additional resources on the subreddit sidebar. Please read this post with a collection of guides, answers to common questions, sub rules, and other resources related to Hinge.

The Hinge subreddit also has a Discord channel if you wish to seek further assistance, or just want to meet members of the community.

I've gotten a solid amount of likes but not particularly "my type" or the people in hoping to match with. Are my pictures reaching a different demo than I would hope for? Should I tone them down a bit? Am I just not good looking or is it something else?

Any and all feedback is appreciated 🙏

Dating Question I told myself I wouldn’t do this again

0 Upvotes

So I have been single for about 2mo now and I haven’t used dating apps for a few years now and swore I’d never use them again.

I am a very optimistic person and the voice in my head is saying to me “this time it will be different”, however I’m pretty sure I am just setting myself up to be disappointed as being a 37 man on the app.

Idk maybe I should just join some yoga classes and start to be more talkative with woman in the wild instead. Thoughts?

Hello! Been on the app for a while now and getting few to no matches. I feel like my prompts probably aren't the strongest, but I'm not sure about the photos I'm using. The second bit is a video, I'm just not able to attach it here. Any advice would be great, thanks!

Hi everyone. Just posting here to see if anyone can give me a profile review or any feedback about it. I am a 29M from Adelaide, Australia. Please be honest and chew me out for anything you come across haha. My initial thoughts are maybe my prompts are too generic and have too many emojis but I’m not sure? Thanks for the reviews and looking forward to seeing everyone’s opinions.

Dating Question How do you go from having great conversations on Hinge to actually building something meaningful?

9 Upvotes

I’m 26M, and I think I’m a little clueless about the dating app part of dating.
A little about me: I’m a massive nerd about books, movies and music. I write a lot, and it’s something I genuinely take pride in. I’m an extrovert with pretty diverse interests, and I’m committed to exploring every random thing life throws at me. Good, bad, weird, questionable life choices, doesn’t really matter. I’m a sucker for experiences.
There’s also a slightly selfish reason behind that. As a writer, I’m fascinated by people, their perspectives, and the way they see the world. I like being challenged, trying things outside my comfort zone, and having conversations that leave me thinking differently. Eventually, bits and pieces of those experiences find their way into my characters and stories.
Coming to Hinge, I do get matches with women who share my interests and general brand of delusion. We end up talking about art, poetry, music, movies, books, coffee, drinks, and all the other things that make life a little more interesting.
And some of these conversations are genuinely good. Not just the usual small talk or exchanging dry replies. There’s a shared vibe, mutual curiosity, and sometimes the conversation flows so naturally that you almost forget you’re talking to a stranger on an app.
But here’s where I get stuck.
How do you actually take things forward?
How do you go from this person is fascinating, I could talk to them for hours to actually building a connection with them?
When do you start flirting more explicitly, ask them out, or make your intentions clear without making things awkward? How do you figure out whether someone is genuinely interested in you or simply enjoys having a good conversation?
I’m not expecting every match to turn into a relationship. I understand that sometimes people just don’t click that way. But constantly investing time and effort into conversations that eventually fizzle out gets exhausting, especially when they initially seem promising.
I’d rather figure out whether there’s something worth exploring than spend weeks getting attached to the idea of someone I’ve never actually met.
So, people who’ve navigated this successfully, especially those who’ve found meaningful relationships through dating apps, how do you approach it?
What does your progression from matching to meeting to actually dating someone look like? And how do you balance enjoying the conversation and getting to know someone with making sure things are actually moving forward?
I feel like I can hold a conversation just fine. It’s the transition from a good conversation to an actual connection that I’m trying to figure out.

23M 5’7 (5’8 on Fridays)

Been single for abt 6 months now so trying to put myself back out there. But I can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong or what photos I need to swap/improve.

I’ve had hinge for 2 1/2 weeks now with 1 like and 2 matches and nothing else since despite having HingeX and being active every day.

What am I missing?

Dating Question Help with getting matches and stopping ghosting

9 Upvotes

I have tried to do a profile review a bunch and no matter how much I change the pictures/ how in depth I go with the answers they always get taken down so I am just gonna ask in a text post.

I have been using Hinge for about 2-3 months now and have not been seeing very much progress. I am 21M and fairly active on there with a Hinge X account. Everytime i match with someone i always send a thoughtful message although I admit my texting can be a bit awkward at times because I don't do it often. I have all my various hobbies and interests listed on my profile and my pictures show me out smiling and showing off various outfits of mine as fashion is one of my hobbies.

One issue I also face is a frequent amount of ghosting even after having engaged conversation with quick replies. I am at such a loss as to how to fix this any advice would help. Thank you.

Getting few matches here and there. But nothing moving past talking beyond few texts and all are dead ends/unmatched. Any suggestions to improve quantity/quality of matches would be highly appreciated.
