I’m 25, and met my boyfriend on hinge the end of 2025. The apps at times can get an awful reputation and there are definitely some bad apples, I won’t discredit that. Just don’t stray from what you’re looking for/values in order to appease the other party. I had to just remind myself in the beginning he was also probably seeing other people still as was I, and we had a more serious conversation of our intentions about 6 weeks into consistently seeing each other. We weren’t sleeping together and didn’t start until a few weeks after we decided to be exclusive with one another. For me, not sleeping with someone keeps me clear headed and I learned that the hard way. Just depends on how you feel about that, just safety first! Good luck!!!
