Hinge Dating App: Match & Meet 17+

Absolutely amazing

When I searched for an app that was simple to use and highly rated, Hinge is the one that came up that intrigued me. I got on it and I liked the customization it had to one’s profile to be as transparent as possible. Using the actual app is very easy too and it got me to go on dates with 2 people. The first was alright at first, then I saw that our conversations turned very sour as she talked about her trauma with her family the entire time. Not a good first look, so we eventually unmatched. I left hinge and after a month I got back on it just to see. There in my likes, I found my current boyfriend.

We chatted the first day I returned his like with a ‘hi’ and by the next day, we began chatting on WhatsApp. After 5 days of talking, we met up and we hit it off insanely well. We’re so similar in the core aspects and have enough differences where we’re always learning about each other. After about 2-3 weeks, we began officially dating (and deleted hinge off our phones!) and now it’s been 7 months. I genuinely want to marry this man and he does too. Hinge helped me find my soulmate that was more near me than I expected. One I would have never met on my own, out and about, as neither of us like going out as much. I am truly grateful for this app as it has given me the best relationship I have ever been on. Genuinely give it a try and DON’T GIVE UP. You may find your soulmate too

Pretty sure I met The One on here

This is, by far, the class of all the available dating apps. That doesn’t mean it’s going to provide a fairy tail opportunity, or even a fun one, but the way profiles are designed and integrated into the brief response sections makes this a much better option than Tinder, and even Bumble.

As others have mentioned in their reviews, squelching the ability to like photos without leaving a substantive comment should be the default. That’s simply too much like Tinder/Facebook and doesn’t really provide anything meaningful for the app. It definitely promotes the type of “drive-by” behavior that’s a scourge on Tinder. Leaving a comment requires forethought about what to say, what kind of tone you want to convey, and engaging with another user’s profile. You’re also much more likely to respond to folks who leave commentary, even if you don’t plan on going on a date, and that’s a very healthy approach compared to other apps.

As always, your mileage may vary. If you live in a small place you’re likely going to need to increase the radius, or maybe even take a step toward looking to move somewhere bigger in the future. There is still ghosting, likely related to the feature I mentioned above, but that’s just part of the process. For me, I was fortunate enough to find someone after a few months on Hinge that had me deleting the whole panoply of apps.
