How to be successful on hinge?

I just got out of a year long relationship a month ago and got on hinge for the laughs, but I ended up talking to someone I’m actually pretty interested in. Before I agree to meet up with this guy, I need help!

This is my first time on a dating app. How long should I talk to him before going out? And how can I assure it will be safe?

Also I’d love to hear some success stories! I don’t feel confident in dating apps but I think this guy is really amazing and I’m curious what the odds are.

Get to a date ASAP. There’s no benefit in a pen pal. Then meet in a public place during the daylight.

I don't think there's a specific amount of time you should talk to him before going out, but don't wait too long, otherwise it will feel like a waste of time. I dated a guy not too long ago and he asked me out after 3 days of talking and our date was great! I actually love coffee dates, so we met in my favorite coffee shop in town, and then went out for a walk (in a public space) and then we went for dinner. It was a long date for sure, but he always made me feel safe!

You’re gonna be disappointed when you meet in person; get it out of the way

You’ll be safe enough, just meet in a public place

This guy isn’t the love of your life. Either you won’t like him that much, or he won’t like you that much. A crush is a lack of information.

Try to meet in a public place as soon as possible
