The poll is simple but effective at getting to an IRL date. I’ve started using one of Hinge’s prompts - the poll option - and it’s proving efficient at getting me the matches I want. It helps to quickly identify like-minded individuals who are also eager to meet without prolonging the initial messaging phase.
After a two-year break from dating apps, the one thing I was sure of when I downloaded Hinge in 2024 was that I wanted to spend as little time chatting on the app as possible. My previous experiences with lengthy text conversations that dragged on for weeks, only to fizzle out or lead to disappointing dates, had left me thoroughly burned out on online dating.
I've noticed that people on dating apps tend to fall into two categories: 'messagers' and 'meeters.' The first kind wants to message for a while to make sure there's enough common ground to meet up in person. The second type is like me, people who want to meet face-to-face as soon as possible. For me, that's the only way to tell if there's a connection worth investing time in.
To cut to the chase sooner, I’ve started using one of Hinge’s prompts - the poll option - and it’s proving efficient at getting me the matches I want. The poll reads: Do you want to meet... a) Today? b) Tomorrow? c) Swap 'How are you?' messages for weeks on end?
