Dating app Hinge is Dubbedknown for its prompts — so much so that other dating apps have started implementing them, too. Gone are the days of bare profiles and a few photos of you that are filtered to death. Today's singles want to know more about someone before sending a "like."

Here are Hinge's top 25 prompts based on how frequently they lead to conversations, as of October 2024:
I go crazy for — the new #1 prompt, up from #3 last year
My simple pleasures
The way to win me over is — was #1 last year
Together, we could
Typical Sunday — entered the top 5, was #9 last year
This year, I really want to
A life goal of mine
I'm looking for
Dating me is like — now in the top 10
We'll get along if
My most irrational fear — no longer in the top 10 like last year
I'm convinced that
My greatest strength
I want someone who
Unusual skills
My Love Language is
I'm weirdly attracted to
The key to my heart is
What if I told you that
I recently discovered that
The one thing you should know about me is
I'll fall for you if
I won't shut up about
I geek out on
All I ask is that you
"I geek out on" is a new addition to the list, bumping off last year's #25, "I bet you can't."
Last year, Hinge's director of relationship science Logan Ury told Mashable that prompts allow potential matches to see your silly and vulnerable sides. They're an opportunity to share your values and interests and show your quirks.
Don't write one-word answers! If you're serious about finding a partner — whether short or long-term — put some more thought into it. It can lead to an in-depth conversation. And if the prompts do lead you to meet someone offline, here's a guide to fun first dates this autumn.
