But when people really like each other, they stop thinking about response times and they just get excited about the conversation.

So my best friend, Lana, I text with her all day, every day.

I'm not thinking about the response time because I'm engaged in the conversation.

Have a more engaging conversation, get excited about the person that you're meeting and

And get off the app and get off text and get onto a date.

People spend way too long texting.

Well, that's the thing.

I think that this is another place where people get confused by the technology.

Texting is a tool that helps you connect with somebody, but it shouldn't be the whole relationship.

So at Hinge, we found that the sweet spot is after three days of texting, get to a date.

Might be a phone call, might be a video date, might be meeting at a bar.

But when you're like, oh, I need to get to know them more and ask them about their dreams.

It's like, what do you think a first date is for?

So I think people spend way too much time talking in advance.

Then they create a fantasy of somebody in their head.

They show up to the date.

The person doesn't meet their fantasy because they made it up and then they're disappointed.

The way to avoid that is to meet them phone date, video date in person sooner than you think.

100%.

And guess what happens when you play a game?
