Is saying “I had a good time last night too, but I didn’t really feel a romantic connection form. I don’t want to waste ur time so thanks for meeting me, good luck in the future” an okay response after a hinge first date?

Better than ghosting but also too high of expectations. A romantic connection isn’t gonna form on the first date.

Mm but you can usually get a vibe that’s enough to know you don’t need a second date.

If it’s super awkward or the guy is strange then agreed, but if thats the case OP should say that. It would be more constructive than “didn’t feel a connection”. If it was a good date and you don’t feel a connection that doesn’t mean there would never be one, it could just mean that you don’t know each other well enough yet. It depends on the context.

I see that but it’s hinge. they’re not obligated to give constructive criticism to their dates, I think OPs message a simple and kind and gets the message across perfectly.

I mean yeah there’s no obligation but imo it’s human decency. Imagine you’re on the receiving end of that, you’d want to know if you did something wrong.
