How do you respond to “Two truths and a lie” on Hinge?

Make a guess and give a reason. The reason is what makes her reply, because it shows how you think and gives her something to react to.

What if I guess wrong?

That's often better. Correcting you gives her an easy, fun reply and keeps the chat going.

How to reply to “Two truths and a lie”

I have a twin, I've been skydiving, I hate cheese. One of those is a lie and I'm dying to see who figures it out.

The whole prompt exists so you have something to do in the first text. And yet I still get guys who just say lol or ask which one is the lie. Guess! That's the point.

A guess with a reason is my favorite message. Even when it's wrong. Especially when it's wrong in a funny way.

What I notice.

What gets a reply

He commits to a guess and gives a reason, even a ridiculous one.
He guesses wrong and it gives me the perfect chance to correct him.
He picks the lie and asks a follow-up about one of the truths.

What I leave on read

He asks me which one is the lie. You're supposed to guess.
He guesses with no reason at all. Now it's a coin flip and a dead end.
He does his own two truths and a lie without touching mine.
