I personally don't use hinge as I've never had any luck with it, although I have a friend who got a long term gf from it. I think there are more girls on tinder and bumble imo. I think the same rules apply, wait a day or two, then have something to open with again. I'm not an expert but hope that's helpful. If you get a match on hinge, is there an automatic chat/message function like on tinder? I'd just open again a day or two later on that, if so
