In terms of the former, Hinge's director of relationship science Logan Ury points to hardballing, or being clear about what you're looking for in a relationship up front. This trend has occurred since the pandemic, when — due to existential anxiety — people realized they can't wait around for what they want.

"This isn't about being needy," Ury noted. "It's about saving time by making sure you are on the same page as the people you're dating."

Prompts that encourage users to express themselves are an opportunity to be quirky or silly, or share your values and get vulnerable, Ury said. "These Prompts help you give someone a sense of what it would be like to date you, by painting a picture of who you are and what brings you joy," she explained. "Telling someone your specific quirks or pleasures can help create a vivid image of who you are and help them picture what a relationship with you would be like."

Successful prompt responses have a mix of humor and vulnerability, according to Ury, so don't be afraid to be yourself. If you want to use the top prompt — "the way to win me over" — she advises you to dig deep and think of something that's original and unique to you. "Stop talking about your love for The Officeand start telling us about your secret hobby as a herbal tea connoisseur," she commented.
