Dos and Don’ts of Answering Hinge Prompts

Do be upfront with your intentions. Think about what kind of relationship you’re hoping to get out of Hinge. Are you looking for a long-term commitment or something more casual, like a hookup? Make sure your answers reflect what you’re looking for so you don’t give someone the wrong idea.^{[4]

Research source}
- For example, if you want a serious relationship, answer the “way to win me over” prompt with a sincere response about qualities you seek in a partner. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a hookup, be more flirty and suggestive.
When answering prompts about what you’re looking for, like “the way to win me over is…,” try to base your answers around what you are looking for, not what you aren’t looking for. Don’t focus on what your potential partner shouldn’t do, or what your previous partner did or didn’t do. Instead, mention positive qualities you’re looking for so your potential matches can see that you want to build a healthy relationship.
Your Hinge prompts are supposed to make your potential matches want to talk to you, so make sure they have something to talk about! Avoid one-word answers or answers that make it difficult to continue a conversation. Include specific details about yourself, and consider asking a question that your matches can respond to.^{[5]

While showing off your sense of humor is a great way to give your potential matches a glimpse of your personality, not every answer you provide should be funny. If you only make jokes, your matches won’t know what you’re actually looking for, and they may think you aren’t taking dating seriously. Be sure to include some sincere and honest answers so your matches get to know you.^{[6]

Research source}
Don’t base your Hinge prompt answers on what you think your potential matches want to hear. In order to find someone you’re truly compatible with, it’s important to be honest. Let your personality shine through, and don’t worry about impressing others. The right person will like you for who you are.^{[7]

Research source}
Be realistic about what you’re asking of your potential matches. For example, saying you want expensive gifts or dates will likely turn people away. Asking for too many things in one prompt might make you seem high maintenance or materialistic. While you shouldn’t lower your standards to get more matches, answer your prompts with the things that are actually most important to you.
