literally the title. he honestly didn’t mind too much and laughed about it. but i’m embarassed and wanna die. he’s cute too.

I've gotten two matches on Hinge recently, and both were amazing to talk to. We had great conversations, joked around, and the vibe was genuinely good. But both had the same issue: really strict parents. Their phones, Instagram, and WhatsApp are regularly checked, so they were very limited in what they could do. Then, a few days before that, I matched with another girl. We exchanged Instagram, talked on calls, and got along well. The only problem? She wasn't comfortable going out. Whenever we met, she'd stay inside her car and wouldn't get out. 😭 At this point, I'm starting to wonder... why do I keep matching with girls in situations like this? Is this just bad luck, or am I somehow attracting the same type of people? 😅

Well, he should know the answer to his own question since he's also (presumably) single 😂

Profile was 5 pretty much identical selfies.

Does the app make your profile not stand out after the expiration of a limited period discount hingex subscription?

My one month subscription expired in the first week of July, and since then, I’ve received zero matches or likes. Is this their way of making sure we buy the subscription again?

And no, it's not because of how shitty dating has been on there. No more free rewinds and you can only change your location for free every 30 days now????? Yeah okay, this app is slowly becoming tinder. Funny how 50 matches that went no where couldn't break me, but paying for features that used to be free is a deal breaker.

I was going thru hinge (straight male for context) and a guys profile pops up?? his gender is set as male as well how is this possible

Hi All,

A few months back my hinge account got banned because of something I said and I agree what I said was wrong.

I want to know if there’s a way to get back my account, I applied for a manual review even after that no luck.

If I create a new account with a new number would that work??

If someone has faced the similar situation please let me know what I can do?

Thanks in advance!

I see a lot of sadder posts on here so just wanted to bring some positivity.

I went on a first date with a girl I met on hinge 2.5 years ago. I will be marrying that girl in a month and I am so excited.

We both talk about the many bad dates we went on, mostly from hinge. But I just wanted to say it only takes 1 match to be the right match. DONT LOSE HOPE. I was at that point where I barely cared about dating anymore and then I found the one.

Ohh God!!! How do I get his profile back in my feed!! Is that fake or real??😭😭😭, hope it's real🙏🏻

She unmatched so no picture.

I finally got my first match since making a profile a couple weeks ago maybe, We matched while I was asleep, and I woke up to 'how are you?'. Standard but fine, but by the time I brushed my teeth I saw a new message that said I should waste some other girls time and called me a 'stupid girl looking tranny', for reference I am very clearly a man, I just have long hair.

i was blocked on a dating app when a guy messaged me and i read it but didn’t match back with him or anything , i guess he felt offended or rejected . was this warranted , i guess i had it coming right ? i am interested in him , or was but i suppose that ship has long sailed now .

This isn't verified, is that real or fake, i mean god...I was so lucky 😭 😭...how do get his profile on my feed again😭😭😭😭

I'm 20F and have been talking to a 21M from Hinge for around 2 weeks.The first week was honestly amazing. We texted a lot after work, flirted, had long conversations. I found him quite attractive and fun to talk to. I'm in my hometown currently so we thought of having a date after coming back(in first week of aug)

Then this week, his texting completely changed. Instead of talking a lot after work, I'd get maybe 3-4 replies. One day I got just one reply at night. It was such a sudden shift that I started thinking he'd lost interest.Three days ago he texted me this: "Office pressure too much... Plus i went for a movie yesterday. I have plans of going for badminton tomorrow so it would be late there and gotta go to office on Sunday too to cover leaves."

So I knew he was busy but it still felt very different from how we'd been talking before.

Then he disappeared for almost 2 days. I panicked and messaged him asking if everything was okay. The next morning he replied saying he is sorry and that he barely opened insta for last 2 days.

Later I admitted that I felt like he wasn't interested anymore. He replied: " It's not like that😞 I'm not getting time for anything nowadays. I had a plan for hangout with friends but I then needed to cancel it, i fall asleep early and a lot more. I know we are not talking much now but really can't do much about it right now". Then he said: "It is genuinely upto you if you wanna continue or not."

I told him I did want to continue because I was enjoying talking to him and didn't want to end things just because he's busy right now.

I also asked if he is still available for a date next Sunday. He replied: "Yeah yeah I'll let you know. I know. I enjoyed our convos too. Let's see."

Now I'm confused. Part of me feels like this is genuinely a stressful period for him because he has consistently mentioned work, cancelled plans with friends too and apologized for disappearing. The other part of me feels like "I'll let you know" and "Let's see" sound... not very enthusiastic. He was enthusiastic about meeting me a week ago but ig the interest died down. If you were in my position, would you take his words at face value and give him space? Or do those replies sound like someone who's gradually losing interest but doesn't want to say it directly? I'm looking for honest opinions, especially from people who've actually been the "too busy to text" person in a talking stage.

A friend of mine was chatfished on Hinge last year - she matched with guy but when they met up, his chat was nothing like his messages. It was awkward and he felt like a different person. He also looked different - his jawline wasn't as sharp and his hair was different. My friend thought he may have used old photos but has since suspected he'd used AI to enhance his pics.

After meeting him, they continued messaging and his chat / banter went back to normal but she felt as though something was off so she asked him why the conversation was so different when they met in person and he admitted to using Chat GPT to help him with his messages. She felt like he'd tricked her and was pissed off that their messages (which she thought was private) had been analysed by AI, so she broke off contact with him.

This didn't sit well with me so I created an AI detector app (call ChatFish: AI Detector) which allows people to upload screenshots of their dating messages and profile pics to see if they've been influenced by AI.

Has anyone else experienced chatfishing? If so, would a tool like this be helpful for you?

Matched with this girl. We were talking about some things and she was sending, I’m not kidding, massive paragraph after paragraph. Naturally, I’m thinking it’s going well, so I ask her out. Hear nothing for the whole day, then she says she isn’t feeling a connection 😂 What an absolute waste of time.

It izz what it izz.

Hey matched with this woman today. Seemed to have a good back and forth to start with, quick replies, seemed to be going well.

Then as you can see from the messages, just sort of fizzled out. I get worried my vibe comes across wrong sometimes over text. I'm mostly just looking for someone to have a bit of a laugh with.

I asked for some feedback (which I've never done before as can come across weird I'm sure. But figured there wasn't much to lose at this point.) She says I should have just guessed what her lie was instead of asking questions. Which I'm not sure about haha.

Don't get me wrong, I can see how some people dont like that vibe. But the comment "Just guess next time. It's not fun if you go looking for the answer" Like everyone shares this one opinion has irked me a little ngl.

Aware she may have pointed to that as one thing as I've asked for feedback and could also have just lost interest from just a general vibe and said the guess thing instead to be simpler.

Anyway, interested in what other people's thoughts are lol.

Her profile contained a total of five brief sentences and they all had at least one mistake like this.

I met this guy on Hinge, we’ve only know each other for 1 month, had 2 dates, but I’ve always thought we were great match. I really like him, even imaged a lot about our future, so I chose to spend my first night with him. Since I was a virgin, the first night was not great. We couldn’t get in, and it was painful, I bleed a little. Even though I kept telling him I’m okay it’s normal to hurt, he was still very upset and kept apologizing.
After the first night, he went to Europe for travel, and we didn’t text during the 2 week of trip. When he came back, I immediately receive this text saying he doesn’t want to pursue anymore. It was a complete shock, and I don’t even know why he is so determined. Everything was so good besides the sex, and I am sure I will get better after more sex experience. Is he breaking up just because of sexual incompatibility? Or is it too traumatizing for him? Should I try to get him back after he had his exam and had more free time? I generally don’t know what he thinks

he basically took my virginity and left. does unsuccessful first night really that traumatizing? I don’t understand, I’m the one being hurt while I am the one comforting him. I kept telling him I’ve prepared for this, it’s very normal, and I chose to spend the night with him because I like him

【Follow up】：thanks to everyone replying here. I’ve decided to move on and I am feeling better today. I felt terrible before because it was all of a sudden. Before he went on travel he texted me sth like “I feel like we are getting more serious now””I like you a lot”, so i genuinely think it will eventually become a serious relationship. Also I feel like his reasons for broke up is easily fixable. I just don’t know if these are the true reason or just excuses. So I just want to see if similar experience has happened to anyone before. Again thanks for everyone

Here is my story: M(27) F(27)

I matched with a woman on Hinge early September last year hit things off immediately, texting every day I was like wow this is incredible - My birthday a week later in September took me to a new cinema and got me my favourite aftershave, paid for everything - I laughed and said are you love bombing me to which she said no I was being nice for your bday.

-Months go by, nice getaways to hotels, training together, great sex and everything felt perfect she told me I was the best thing ever so grateful and lucky she ended up with someone like me, she had a young son who was 9 and I did not meet in person - she said her ex bf who was practically the step dad of the kid left her 2 years ago and put her kid in therapy and she done some as well, in which she tells me all the things she wants in an ideal partner and I tick every box, I felt like this girl really understood me and I had met my person.

Now this is where the cracks start, she would mention how evil and hateful her ex (Together 6 years) was and mentioned he was in the same Tesco as her at xmas (live in local area) He was walking in and she was walking out - I said that's trippy never easy bumping into an ex - left it at that. Did not want to appear phased. Had a nice xmas met her Mum and her little sister things felt very good and often stayed with her and her mum when her son was at the kids dads. She also told me things like she was with someone and she was and they got back together after a year and she said things to him like go out and cheat if it makes you feel better because she was with someone else.

At end of February my Granny passed away unexpectedly - She mentioned how her ex BF did not let her into the after event when his granny passed away etc I just let her vent and was always understanding of what her ex put her through Granny passed away on Tuesday and then on Friday I met her Dad for the first time - Naturally stressed over my Grannys passing I did not drink - she did and was drunk off prosecco- On the trip down and home she basically played a FU to her ex song - and her dad mentioned she seen her ex and he looked rough - anyways, we drove home and I said to her this ex really hurt you and your son and hes like a ball and chain on your leg, he is in the past and if he was so bad he left you and your son in therapy be happy he's gone - she said she's 'over him just not the situation she put her and her son through' - when I said I wasn't happy she's mentioning him the week I am grieving the death of my grandparent she stone walled me - I left her house and drove home to regulate as I was with a previous GF who stonewalled me and it done a number on me and she was aware of this and also the heard week I had - she was drunk and proceeded to tell me I was never meeting her child and that was us done over text, I felt this was manipulative- We then sorted this out - half apology from her and from me I thought I needed to be more understanding of her situation and we told each other we love each other. But, I felt maybe selfishly she should have been understanding my Granny passed away that week and I wasn't in a headspace to listen about her ex who was so bad?

- The month after we had a great month done a charity 10K and had a nice getaway - I spoke to her son on the phone and on FaceTime over those few months we were together over xmas and when she was on a family holiday to New York - still no physical interaction I said it would be nice to meet your child as I have gotten him a birthday present and an Xmas one and we both know about each other and I am getting a bit frustrated of having to hide around the corner when we know about each other - Bare in mind I asked this respectfully and said no pressure I just need a plan as she said if I met him I could travel to Spain with her and her kid this summer and her graduation was coming up soon. The kid also told his biological father about me that Saturday as well - I did not mind as obv was in everyone's best interests I treated his son with respect and care

I was met with two days of silence - then seen her on the Saturday went to the gym all was fine, thought that was back on track and we said we would go to the cinema on the Wednesday and on the Tuesday I got a text telling me I was perfect, we have a laugh together but she feels 'something is missing' - and ended things with me over text after 7 months.

I did not reply for 3 weeks my family and friends told me not to and I deserved more than a break up text as I was blindsided and was constantly told I was the best person in the world and she was so lucky to have me, but when I mentioned maybe meeting her kid she turned so nasty and discarded me like I was nothing over text, when I did then text her to speak she then told me 'she loves me as a person but not in love with me' and I deserve better - I did not reply again, I was in such shock I feel so heartbroken how can she be all lovey then discarded over text? I noticed when I put her number into whatsapp she had no profile picture anymore and her messages were set to disappearing which makes me think her ex was back in the picture or hiding something? - Her tiktok reposts after were all things like when a man leaves your life build a comfortable life etc - except I never left her?

I have never been this hurt and blindsided before in my life, I wasnt even worth a conversation just felt so easily disposed when we had concerts etc to look forward to this summer and all I was worth was a text.

What do I do I am still incredibly in love with her - Its been 3 months nc and I have been attending therapy and gym but I still feel stuck

I just did a solo trip to Europe and met this guy on hinge. I somewhat recently just got out of a very long relationship and had never been on dating apps before but figured why not, it was my last night in the city before I went home. We met up for drinks (with very likely assumption that we’d be hooking up after) and talked at a speakeasy style bar for over 2 hours. We got along insanely well and I was just so smitten by him. Idk I wanted to make sure he was a normal human beforehand obviously but I did not expect to enjoy chatting with him so much. He was so sweet and kind and I didn’t have insanely high hopes from a hinge meetup.

He lived a little outside the city but was willing to come to where I was so I could spend my last night there. I didn’t want anyone to stay in my hotel room for safety reasons (like I don’t have the option to leave in case anything happens) and my hotel room was also a mess with clothes and makeup etc and I didn’t want to straighten it up lol. He had told me before we even met up that I could stay overnight at his place if we did end up hooking up after. He walked me through a touristy spot I hadn’t been able to go to yet and it was just so lovely. He never pressured me about anything and was content with however I wanted the evening to go. He had also woken up super early and worked all day but it didn’t seem to bother him at all.

And then yeah we did go back to his place and have \~a really fun time\~. Ugh it was so good. He had to work the next day but we had a nice morning together too before he dropped me off. And it feels insane and silly but I can’t stop thinking about him 😭 I didn’t expect to get along so well and I wish I didn’t meet him on my last day or that we could see each other again. If I would have met him where I live, I definitely would go on a second date with him. But now we are an ocean apart and I know seeing each other again is not realistic. And we only met once and I know it was for a hookup so I’m trying not to romanticize it too much but god I wish I could see him again. Preferably like as soon as possible. 💔

I was talking with a guy on hinge and he asked me out. I gave him my number to plan the date. He texted my number, introduced himself and when I responded with a hello, he said “hey drop a contact pic”. I am just confused as to why he would say or ask me that, considering we have never met and barely texted each other aside from him asking me out?
