23 Hinge Prompts You Should Avoid Unless You're Trying To Get Them To X You Fast

Steer clear of these 23 prompts, and don't answer them on your profile, either.

23 Hinge Prompts You Should Avoid Unless You're Trying To Get Them To X You Fast
Netflix

I absolutely love the prompt feature that Hinge has to offer. Instead of writing something cheesy in your bio to get right swipes (yes, I'm talking about you, Bumble and Tinder), these short prompts provide easy ways to give people an idea of who you are.

Having said that, not all eighty-five prompts are amazing, there are some that are bad news. It seems as if any answers to these questions are bound to be cringeworthy. Here are the 23 Hinge prompts to avoid:

1. “Never have I ever”

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to ask and answer these types of questions over drinks.

2. “I’ll introduce you to my family if…”

Giphy

I barely even know you so the idea of meeting your family freaks me out.

3. “My biggest fail”

I think we should wait until I get to know you more before I learn you're a failure.

4. “I know the best spot in town for…”

Instead of telling me the best spot in town, surprise me by bringing me there on a date.

5. “A shower thought I recently had”

Giphy

Let's leave the idea of a complete stranger in the shower out of this, please.

6. “I bet you can’t…”

You're not going to leave a good first impression by assuming I can't do something.

7. “An overshare”

Can we NOT overshare, please?

8. “My most controversial opinion is…”

Giphy

I feel like starting an introductory conversation with a controversial topic is not the way to go.

9. “The secret to getting to know me is…”

You have to always keep them guessing and leave some things to the imagination.

10. “The key to my heart is…”

It's going to take a lot more than matching on Hinge to find out the key to this girl's heart.

11. “First round is on me if…”

Giphy

Call me old-fashioned, but the first round should ALWAYS be on the man.

12. “My love language is”

No offense but what does this even mean?

13. “One thing I’ll never do again”

Giphy

Let's leave regret stories out of our first conversation, shall we?

14. “Give me travel tips for...”

If I want travel tips I can just scroll through Odyssey, thanks.

15. “Let’s debate this topic”

Debates often end with hard feelings, so let's save this for later.

16. “Dating me is like…”

Giphy

It's way too early to use similes to describe something that isn't even a relationship yet.

17. “Worst idea I’ve ever had”

Bad ideas are considered bad for a reason — they aren't supposed to be brought up, especially in the first conversation you're having with someone.

18. “I’ll pick the topic if you start the conversation”

Giphy

If you pick a topic I know nothing about or am completely disinterested in, what am I supposed to do?

19. “The award I should be nominated for”

This seems like an excuse to flex, but pop off if that's your thing.

20. “I won’t shut up about…”

This kind of sets someone up to seem annoying right off the bat even if they aren't.

21. “I’m overly competitive about”

Giphy

This seems like something you should want to discover naturally rather than having it be told to you.

22. “The way to win me over is…”

This sounds like a perfect idea! Letting someone know what they have to do to make them interested even if they don't care for said thing at all. (Spoiler alert: I'm being sarcastic)

23. “I’ll know it’s time to delete Hinge when…”

Giphy

I'm not a marketing mastermind, but I'm pretty sure that asking users to write about why they would delete Hinge may not be the best business strategy.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
