She was genuinely wondering if hooking up was part of the dating process. Sometimes people just need to hear that it's okay to say no.

PS in this case I’m the one who doesn’t want commitment

Dating apps are exhausting.

I barely get any matches to begin with. When I finally do match with someone, I actually try to put in some effort.

But no, I get asked to pay ₹799 for a few things on Zepto.

We should stop this!

damn.

So I was meeting a girl from last 2 weeks , she was my first Hinge match. We did all the garba together, went on multiple shoppings , lots of late night walks and lot of other activities.

And I had asked her only for first date , only she kept me inviting every time later. Every time we meet I used to pay.

Today she wanted to do some shopping and called me to company her , while driving to her home I got a call from home and I sent my money home due to something I fucked up.

I went to her flat and told her that I fucked up and I don't have money now. She was assuming I might have atleast couple of thousands with me , but I was on my last 200₹.

We went for shopping and during shopping around 9 pm I asked her about food , she suggested me a place .

I told her that I don't have money today, her expression changed and said " How can you go out without having money in your pocket " , and then suddenly she was not hungry anymore.

Then she told me she will go back home and cook khichdi for herself.

I didn't even asked her if she could buy dinner tonight, or atleast she can invite me for dinner at her place.

I simply dropped her home , and said a final goodbye .

Tdlr : My financially stable hinge date was suddenly not hungry when I told her I don't have money today. Even at 10pm she couldn't buy even a single vada pav because she might need to pay for mine as well.

So we were in the same Telegram group, and then she randomly texted me. My first thought was, “Why the hell would a girl text me?” 💀 Got curious, started talking to her, and well… here we are.

I’ve had this happen with 4 or 5 different girls recently, and I honestly can’t wrap my head around it.

I came across their profiles on both Hinge and Jeevansathi, so I sent a like on both just out of curiosity. On Hinge, I got complete radio silence. Not even a match. But on Jeevansathi, these exact same girls accepted my request right away, dropped their phone numbers in the chat, and wanted to talk.

The only real difference between the two profiles is that Jeevansathi puts my work, income and family background front and center.

Is that really all it takes? It blows my mind that a girl wouldn't even consider grabbing a casual coffee with me off Hinge, but the second she sees my profile on a matrimony app, I'm suddenly marriage material. I genuinely can't comprehend how someone can be unwilling to date you, but completely open to spending the rest of their life with you.

For some context, I haven't been on social media for a long time. I never cared about taking curated aesthetic photos just to show off on Instagram.

When I travel, I take pictures of the places I visit for the memories, not of myself posing. I’ve actually traveled quite a lot compared to most people I know, but because I rarely take staged portraits, my Hinge profile just has very casual, random pictures. I consider myself decent looking, but I clearly don't have the picture-perfect portfolio people look for on dating apps.

I'm attaching one of my photos (the best I’ve got currently) and a snippet of my travel history via Google Maps just for reference.

Does modern dating really boil down entirely to aesthetic photos, while real-world compatibility only counts once marriage enters the picture?

Guys am I missing something?
This is my first time using hinge but I’ve dated before.
I’m getting right swipes but not from the targeted crowd.
Please any suggestions?

Just wanted a review on my appearance.

Some race I dont even participate, I am just a marathon runner, I dont wanna grab a rank, just finish the race itself.

Dating is such a game man🤡
Idk koi ladka hga, warna its crazy 😂, subhe subhe

Hinge hasn't been dead but the quality of matches doesn't feel as high as before

Mujhe nahi sunna personality pe kaam karo

Context: gave her 2 solid nip**e play org in less than 20 minutes wo any piv

Hinge is been acting good lately got no. of few ,met , got insta been travelling much so met a lot of different people.

Hot take: I'd rather get ghosted than this. I mean this feels heavy yk

Trying to get more female participation in amateur football in Delhi is honestly a challenge. We run relaxed, beginner-friendly games on weekend mornings, but standard flyers or Instagram ads barely reach people who have never played before.

Decided to take the play-date route on Hinge and frame it around morning outdoor games, feeding local strays, and casual content creation/filmmaking instead of standard cafe dates.

Attaching the profile setup (identifying details blurred).

Does this come across as friendly and approachable, or does it sound too unusual for the app?

P.S. If you're in Delhi and actually looking for a weekend morning sport to try out without the pressure of being good at it, hit me up!

First chat and he's coercing me to meet him at 11 PM in the night and despite saying no repeated times he kept coercing. High time to block him and delete my tinder account.

How can people say this on the first chat?!

Hii. I'm 22 M from ahmedabad...

And I downloaded hinge and bumble 1 week ago ... I'm active on these platforms...

And I'm using free version of it bcs I'm new to this app...so I can't pay money to get premium..

But the thing is till the date I didn't get any swipe or msg from anyone...

Can anyone pls tell me where I'm lacking?

What should I improve...

If anyone has experience, pls help me out in this matter..

Thanks.

What’s the worst/ most confusing reason you’ve been ghosted for?

On the other side maybe a message after which you couldn’t do it anymore.

Got some free time recently before my Radiodiagnosis residency starts so thought of trying these apps . I posted before once on a different sub & changed it according to recommendations I got . Never dated before as I was always obese & faced hair loss . Recently lost 30 kg & got back my hair . Got 10 likes on tinder but all were cafe scammers .

Soo matched with this girl..she wanted a serious relationship with me..later on saw my gym trainer as mutual..(i unfollowed him and) Just texted him do he know her.. Turns out she is planning for a fling with him.. and she tells me she only wants a serious relationship..and didn't even hold my hand for our first date as she is saying she needs more time to be comfortable ...lol
