How to go from chatting to dating in five steps

Ask pointed questions

Instead of limiting yourself to general questions, choose more specific and interesting topics.

If you are stuck for ideas, take another look at the profile and ask questions to get to know each other better. A satisfying conversation is based on an exchange of experiences and thoughts.

Make them laugh!

Don’t underestimate humor: According to Hinge data, 92% of users consider a shared sense of humor to be an important factor in evaluating a relationship.

Respond quickly and move to another platform

Matches who reply within 24 hours are much more likely to set a date.

Conversations can actually die if there are too many delays or if the timing is wrong.

If the conversation is going well, suggest moving to another platform, such as texting or a phone call. This can help prevent conversations from dragging on, as each user can set dating app notifications differently.

Schedule your appointment as soon as possible

It is difficult to maintain a conversation without losing interest. That is why it is advisable to make an appointment – whether it is a video call, a phone call or a personal meeting – as early as possible.

After three days of chatting is the ideal time.

Many people tend to increase the amount of time they spend messaging on the app before proposing to meet to reduce the risk of rejection or incompatibility.

This is a common mistake and does not always lead to a better relationship. The majority (62%) of Hinge users feel ready to meet after three days of chatting.

A date is also always the best way to gauge chemistry and feel for a relationship.

How to ask?

Let them know that you would like to get to know them better by meeting them in person.
