Dating app Hinge is known for its prompts — so much so that other dating apps have started implementing them, too. Gone are the days of bare profiles and a few photos of you that are filtered to death. Today’s singles want to know more about someone before sending a “like.”
While Hinge revealed its top 25 prompts in 2023, Mashable asked which ones reign supreme going into this year’s cuffing season. Here are Hinge’s top 25 prompts based on how frequently they lead to conversations, as of October 2024:
-
I go crazy for — the new #1 prompt, up from #3 last year
-
My simple pleasures
-
The way to win me over is — was #1 last year
-
Together, we could
-
Typical Sunday — entered the top 5, was #9 last year
-
This year, I really want to
-
A life goal of mine
-
I’m looking for
-
Dating me is like — now in the top 10
-
We’ll get along if
-
My most irrational fear — no longer in the top 10 like last year
-
I’m convinced that
-
My greatest strength
-
I want someone who
-

All I ask is that you
“I geek out on” is a new addition to the list, bumping off last year’s #25, “I bet you can’t.”
Mashable After Dark
Last year, Hinge’s director of relationship science Logan Ury told Mashable that prompts allow potential matches to see your silly and vulnerable sides. They’re an opportunity to share your values and interests and show your quirks.
Don’t write one-word answers! If you’re serious about finding a partner — whether short or long-term — put some more thought into it. It can lead to an in-depth conversation. And if the prompts do lead you to meet someone offline, here’s a guide to fun first dates this autumn.
