In either case, we’ve got you covered! We’ve put together a thorough list of ways to respond to a like when it’s up to you to send the first message, and how to respond when the other person starts things off. If you’re ready to woo your matches and rake in the replies, read on!

QuestionHow do I keep a Hinge conversation fun?Mark Rosenfeld is a Dating and Relationship Coach based in Norman Park, Australia. He founded his coaching business, Make Him Yours, in 2015. Mark specializes in helping women find, attract, and keep extraordinary relationships. He has been featured in Style Magazine, Thought Catalog, Elite Daily, News.com.au, and The Good Men Project. Mark’s dating videos have received over 60 million views, and his book “Make Him Yours – Beating the Odds of Modern Dating” was a best-seller on Amazon upon its release.Include more details to add some energy to your messages. For example, "I went on a ski trip to Colorado last week" can come off as a little boring. Instead, you could write, "Oh my gosh, I just came back from Colorado and had the most amazing time there. We saw the cutest little bear. And he was running around with his mom and oh my god, I was in heaven." The additional details and energy make the conversation more exciting.

Tips
- If someone sends you a rose instead of a like, it means they’re very interested in you! Hinge users only get to send one rose per week (unless they purchase more). [17] X Research sourceThanks
- Send your response quickly if you’re interested in the person! Messages sent within the first 24 hours of matching are twice as likely to receive a response. [18] X Research sourceThanks
- You can block or report a Hinge user if their profile or message makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Blocking removes them from your likes or matches and prevents them from messaging you in the future. Block for reasons like offensive language, threats, or inappropriate material in their photos.Thanks
