I was my boyfriend's first — and only — Hinge match
My boyfriend and I met on Hinge. He had never used the app before, and I was the first and only match he made.
My boyfriend, Matthew, swiped right on my Hinge profile and then closed the app without swiping right on mine. A few days later, he matched with me on Hinge. I had a new match and looked at his profile. He was looking for a life partner, didn't want kids, and was a cat person. Those qualities made him a rare find for me, and I was happy to match with him.
Over the next three weeks, we discovered that we shared the same worldview, financial goals, and non-negotiables. Our first date turned into a whirlwind romance. The story behind our match is that my photo of me rock climbing was the only thing that caught his eye. He had never used Hinge before, making him my first and only match.
