How to Match With Someone on Hinge

The good thing about Hinge is that there’s an easy way for you to match with others on the platform.

When someone else likes your profile, they’ll appear under the tab “Likes You”. From her, you can start a conversation with them.

This is specifically picked for you and your preferences. When you like or comment on another users posts, they’ll then have the ability to start a conversation with you, forming a match.

There’s also the Standouts feature – here, you can send a rose to men or women on the platform that you like.Β
