Hinge

Global Day of Unplugging starts March 1st. So, we created the Hinge Phonebook, a phone-shaped book filled with ideas to unplug. This is the year for getting offline and celebrating in-person connection. Personally, we can't wait for some celebrity-look-alike spotting. Need ideas?

With only a week away from V-Day, many daters are wondering how to ask the essential “What are we?”, or as we call it at Hinge, “WAW?” Our new Gen Z D.A.T.E. report revealed 4 in 10 Gen Z Hinge daters have avoided the “WAW” convo because they weren’t sure how to bring it up. Our experts are breaking down everything you need to know about when and how to initiate the “WAW” convo this V-Day. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eHjaAtWT
