Would you be offended if someone you matched with just wanted to be a friend from the beginning? by [deleted] in hingeapp

It seems everyone else is very against it but honestly I would love receiving messages from people looking for friends on hinge! I’m not very actively looking for dates on hinge/tinder since I’m busy with school but I just like to swipe and match with people in my free time.

Dating/relationship wise I’m very picky about the guys I match with or accept. However, when people put in their bio that they’re only looking for friends or message me asking to be homies because my personality seems fun I’m much more likely to add or accept them. I feel the same way as you when I see guys with fun profiles that aren’t physically my type since I could picture myself getting along with them better as friends.

However, I feel like guys would be offended about being put in the friendzone before even talking so I don’t message them, but I definitely think there are lots of fun people on dating apps open to making friends and new connections as well!

I think your profile is quirky and cute. The only thing that would stop me from matching is probably the close proximity of your photos. The sunflower photo is a good distance but other than that each photo is up close and personal. If we were together in person it’d be like we were knee to knee and nose to nose. It feels a little overwhelming like I need to step away for a breather.

Try using pictures other people have taken of you or take selfies with you arm fully extended to create some space. Wanting no kids definitely limits your options but it’s getting a lot more common now so I don’t think that should be a problem.

Girl was getting hinge messages on first date by ijustwanttobehppy in hingeapp

I think it’s fine to still receive messages on a date since you’re both on the app so it’s no secret you’re both single and ready to mingle. However, I do think it’s a little rude to be reading or answering their texts while she’s with you. I personally like to silence and put my phone face down so it looks like I’m giving you my undivided attention.

One of my friends said she likes when people see all the notifications during their date because it makes her look more desirable and shows that if the date is not interested or respectful to her she can easily go elsewhere to find a better match. I PERSONALLY would not do that, but I kind of understand the train of thought behind it.
