Hinge date tips

Hinge prompts allow you to showcase your personality outside of your standard bio, taking some of the awkwardness out of starting a conversation. (Not to mention give you an opportunity to hardballaka say exactly what youre looking for.) After combing through 105 Hinge prompts, I picked my ten favorites that have been good conversation starters for me on the app. I also spoke with Amie Leadingham, Master Certified Relationship Coach, and Logan Ury, Hinges Director of Relationship Science, about their tips for building a strong profile.

Starting a conversation on a dating app can be tricky. You dont have the benefit of being face-to-face, so you want to make sure your tone is friendly, fun and inviting without coming across as too excited. Thats why Hingethe dating app more oriented towards relationships than hookupsgives you a hand with their fun prompts.

While the majority of Hinge prompts are meant to share information about yourself, I like an opportunity to deflect a question to the other person. This is a good way to ask something that might reveal whether your priorities line up. For example, I believe that partners should have healthy relationships outside of their own, so it would be a concern to me if someone said they werent really close to any of their family or couldnt name at least one close friend.

When I was on Hinge, this prompt got me a fair amount of interaction. I like that it can pique someones curiosity and is a natural conversation starter. They dont have to think of something to say or ask, they simply have to guess what Im lying about.

A quick and easy point of connection that can be either earnest or facetious, depending on your mood. As it turns out, I eat an astonishing amount of French fries, so I need whoever dates me to know that Im probablygoing to eat theirs.
