What to say when she asks if you're still talking to anyone else on Hinge
What to say when she asks if you're still talking to other people on Hinge, how to answer honestly without spooking her, and what to do next.
When a match asks if you're still talking to anyone else on Hinge, she's usually not asking for a list of names. She wants to know where she stands, whether she's one option among several or the main one, and whether you're being straight with her. Early on, it's a normal question. Later, it can mean she's getting invested and wants reassurance, or that she's already noticed you going quiet and wants to know why.
A good answer is short, true, and points forward. It tells her what the situation actually is without turning it into an inventory of your dating life. It also leaves room for her to tell you where she's at. People get into trouble here by either dodging the question entirely or over-explaining in a way that makes it sound like a negotiation.
What the reply does is simple. She knows you're not hiding anything, she knows how you're thinking about her, and she knows the conversation is still moving.

Read the question for what it's asking
A direct question about other people usually comes from one of two places. Either she's met a few people on the app and wants to compare where things stand, or she's started to care how things are going with you and wants to know if she's competing for your attention. The tone helps you tell them apart. A breezy question with a joke attached is often just pacing. A question that shows up after a few quiet hours, or after you took a while to reply, is more likely to be checking whether she should be worried.
Don't assume the worst from the wording alone. People ask this clumsily all the time. What matters is what she does next. If she answers your reply warmly and keeps asking you things, she's fine with where you are. If she goes cool or asks follow-up questions about the other matches, she's more invested than she's letting on, and that's worth taking seriously.
Answer the question first
The first sentence of your reply should answer what she asked. If you're still in touch with other people, say so in plain words, no drama. If you've mostly stopped, say that. Either way, skip vague lines like "a few things here and there" that leave her guessing how seriously to take them. Vagueness is what makes people feel misled later.
After the answer, show her how you're thinking about her specifically. This doesn't have to be a compliment or a promise. It can be as simple as saying you've enjoyed talking to her, or that you'd like to see where this goes. She should come away knowing both what the situation is and that she's not just an open tab in the background. Then hand the conversation back to her with something easy to respond to.
Don't disappear for a day to decide
If she asks this and you need a moment to think about what you want, don't go silent for twelve hours while you sort it out. That silence will be read as the answer. If you need time, say so briefly: tell her you're still figuring things out and you'll get back to her properly later today or tomorrow. Then do exactly that. A short honest pause is fine. An open-ended one is what makes people assume the worst and start pulling back.
If you've already been slow to reply and she's asking because of it, own that in one line rather than adding a long explanation about your week. Acknowledging the gap and answering the question clears the air faster than any amount of detail. Once that's done, keep your next few messages normal in length and pace so the conversation doesn't feel like it's under review.
Why these replies fail
“Honestly it's none of your business lol, but yeah I talk to a few people”
It dodges the spirit of the question and sounds defensive, which invites her to press harder.
“No, just you! I deleted the others when you messaged me.”
It's a claim she'll test, and if it's false the fallout is worse than any honest answer would have caused.
“I've got like six conversations going but I'm not really into any of them, you're the only one I actually want to see again”
It buries her in a list she didn't ask for and makes her feel like she's one of six in your mind before she has any reason to feel secure.
Common mistakes
- Answering with a flat no when it isn't true, then getting caught later
- Listing every match and conversation you have going
- Making a big declaration of exclusivity after two messages
- Turning the question back on her before answering it
- Sending an apology or a defensive paragraph instead of a plain answer
Questions people ask
- Is it bad to say I'm still talking to other people?
- No, not on its own. Most people on dating apps talk to more than one person early on, and saying so honestly is better than hiding it. What makes it land badly is how you say it. A plain answer, followed by a clear sign that you're interested in her, usually reads as fine. A vague or overly detailed answer is what makes people uneasy.
- Should I tell her how many people I'm talking to?
- You don't need to give a count. What she usually wants to know is whether she's one of several or the main focus, and whether you're being honest. Describe the situation in a sentence rather than a number. If she asks for specifics, give them lightly and don't make it a big reveal.
- What if I already stopped talking to everyone else?
- Say that, but only if it's true. Telling her you've mostly stopped talking to others and you're focused on getting to know her works well. Be ready for her to take that as a commitment, so don't say it unless you're comfortable with that expectation.
- How long should I wait before replying to her question?
- Reply within a few hours if you can. A short delay is normal, but a long one will be read as a sign you're weighing whether to be honest. If you truly need time, send a brief message saying you'll get back to her properly later, then follow through the same day or the next.
