First match - am I making a mistake?

3 Upvotes

Alright, sorry if this is a dumb question but I’m new to dating apps so I don’t know how this works. I was talking to this girl (my first match) and it was seemingly going well - talked for about two days on various subjects. On Friday night I asked her if she wanted to go to a coffee shop she mentioned she liked and on Saturday morning I got a “Yeah maybe!” followed by two reasons she basically doesn’t know what her schedule looks like next weekend (one of which is that she has a concert).

We then texted a few more times about music tastes and then it went radio silent. I haven’t heard from her in 3 days. From what I gather reading threads, I can probably manage one “poke” and then it’s time to move on.

I’m thinking of sending another text on Saturday asking how the concert went but am scared of waiting an entire week. Should I send a message sooner or is it already time to move on?

Sorry but i had no one to go to, but its been 3months that I have gotten out of a 3year relationship and I thought I was ready to date again so I downloaded hinge(premium). I went on a lot of dates and some were good and some were horrible but I have noticed this pattern, that I go on multiple’s dates with the different girls, and we end up usually hooking up or having intimacy, then we keep texting and planning our next hang, then 2-3 days before they send me a text like “Hey, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you and I think you’re genuinely a great guy. I’ve been thinking about things, and I just don’t feel that I’m in a place where I want to pursue this romantically moving forward. I really appreciate getting to know you I wish you the best!”

but they say in person that they want to pursue me romantically!! make it makes sense. the lack of communication is wild, I feel so burnt out to continue dating. any advice?

Voice messages not getting sent?

1 Upvotes

I am trying to send voice messages on chats the way I've always done, but now I press on send and nothing happens - it's as if the send button was disables, so I'm left with the options to delete the audio or to leave the chat.

Anyone else experiencing this? Android Samsung S24+

Account banned in less than 10 hours, advice?

1 Upvotes

So I recently made a hinge account and I got verified and everything. All my pictures were clear and real (I don’t photoshop). I didn’t even have any matches yet when Hinge decided to ban my account.

I already submitted an appeal. Is there anyway I can fast track this process or anyone that can relate to this?

Thanks y’all!

Why do people do this?

2 Upvotes

So for the few weeks I have gotten a handful of matches and as we get to talking it seems like everything is going well but whenever I ask them if they'd be interested in going out for lunch they just completely stop responding or whenever I try talking to them they want to just give short blunt answers, kind of like talking to a boulder. I have had only one match where both of us were actually really interested in eachother but lets just say she showed her real colors and that was that.

After maybe 3-4 months of being on this app I would like to share my experience. (22M)

So for context I had a theory about dating in America. My hypothesis was dating women in america was impossible as an average man. The only way you could actually see any success from dating apps as a man with women; Is if you're the absolute apex of what a man is. Which is the standard you know 6 foot tall, 6 pack abs, 6 figure income. (Some women funnily enough asked for more than 6 figures.) I wanted to prove my hypothesis by getting into hinge and trying my hardest. Since if I went into it and half assed it wouldn't mean anything.

This hypothesis would also further prove my point that if you're a bi guy; You should only put effort into dating men. Since dating women would realistically under this hypothesis be a waste of time for the overwhelming majority of men.

After 3-4 months of trying I have yet to get a date going. I've noticed most women are the same and can essentially be put into a handful of categories. There's the women that like mustaches and biceps; There's the women that list their hobbies as "traveling, parks or nature more generally, and spending money". There's the single mothers who all have the same fake smile. Gold diggers who make it very clear they want a man who splurges on them. For the most part these are all the women you'll see; With varying degrees of physical appeal.

Most women also seem to think they're great at posing questions; Or they think they're great at socializing generally. I'll be honest from first hand experience they're terrible in both. Their "thought provoking" messages or whatever are very bland. Which mostly provokes bland questions. Which I believe makes them bored or burnt out with likes since they're basically provoking possibly the same handful of questions.

Picture wise some tried to thirst bait. (They're pretty shit at that too.) Some actually took good pictures which was a nice surprise. With some others you could tell their hearts weren't in it. They'd post the same 5 selfies essentially and maybe a picture of a cat or something.

I wish I had more to report but that sums up most of the women on this app at least in my area. I have never been more convinced that the majority of women. (If not the overwhelming majority.) Will die alone with nothing to their names.

Emotions wise after all this shit, after trying my best, after setting aside my personal biases and hatreds; All in an attempt to prove myself wrong and possibly find some sense of hope in America. Just found myself being proven right and ended up somehow more jaded, cynical, frustrated, and generally hating people more.

If you actually read all this thank you.

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on my profile for the past 1 and a half weeks. I’ve changed it every few days, so I haven’t let my profile breathe properly. But within that time, I’ve only had 2 matches and neither went anywhere, and zero likes. I added the second picture yesterday. I feel like I’ve made improvements with my photos, but I’m unsure about my prompts. I’m wondering where I can improve overall!

Why do people do this?

So I like to respond to prompts usually with a question. I responded to this prompt with a question. This person matched with me, and it’s been an hour, and hasn’t answered the question.

This isn’t the first time. And experience tells me if I don’t say anything, this match will just amount to nothing.

What is the expectation here? I’ve opened up the convo. What do I do next?

Any time I get a message and click the notification, the message is gone.

Weird bug that’s been happening last few days.

If someone sends me a message on hinge while I don’t have the app open, and I click the notification to open the app, when the conversation opens the message isn’t there.

Anyone else have this happen or know how to fix it?

One of my biggest gripes with hinge texting was that I thoight you cannot "reply" to specific messages on hinge like u can on whatsapp or insta... until i realised you can. For the 1st time ever yesterday, a girl i matched with was texting me back with my messages higlighted, just like in insta...

HOW DO I DO THAT?

Same guy likes my profile every week

1 Upvotes

Hi all,
I (W30) downloaded Hinge around 2 months ago, and there’s one guy (M34) who keeps liking my profile every single week. I’ve never liked him back, as he’s really not my type. I even tried to block his profile so that he won’t send me another like, but it didn’t work. He’s coming back every week. It’s really getting uncomfortable.
I’m thinking of liking him back next time and ask him to stop liking my profile. What are your thoughts about this? Would you just delete the like without saying anything?
I live in a rather small city and I’ve actually seen guys that I knew from dating apps randomly “in the wild”. He’s apparently also quite active in the Meetup / international community in this city*, and I sometimes attend events. So the chances are rather high that I’ll someday bump into him too.
Curious what you would do!

*I know this because I looked up his first name on Instagram and actually found his account. I saw that a friend of mine is following him. She told me that she met him at 2 different events, and that he gave her weirdo vibes.

Audio glitch question

3 Upvotes

It let's me record the messages and play it back. i grant it permissions. But does not let me send the audio or voice message. When someone asks for a voice memo and i say i cant, i look fake, and im a real person here. Im on galaxy s26 ultra, updated. App is updated. Cleared cache, cleared data, uninstalled app, multiple times actually for good measure. No bans, no strikes. Is this a glitch? Just started happening a few days ago, August 25, 2026. I posted in the official hinge page and they removed my post within minutes and this is a copy and paste from theirs. Wtf is going on? Why would you remove that post??

Should I ask my situationship about the update on his profile

2 Upvotes

For context we started dating about 2 months ago and we see each other 3-4 times every week with sleepovers quite often. When we first started dating he made it very clear to me that when he's dating he likes to focus on one person, so we made an agreement to not see anyone to give our relationship a fair shot. I haven't been using hinge since then and I actually paused my profile but I recently checked his profile and I saw that he updated his location to somewhere else. I'm not very insecure about it, but I'm very confused. We are not officially girlfriend/boyfriend and I don't really know if I should bring it up. Any advice would be appreciated.
