How to Ask Her Out on Hinge After She Said We Should Meet Up Someday
She joked about meeting up someday on Hinge. Here's how to read that, when to ask her out, and how to make the ask land without sounding stiff.
"Someday" is a soft signal. When a girl says something like "we should grab a drink sometime" as a joke, she is usually telling you she is interested but has not committed to anything. She may be testing whether you will take the bait, or she may just be being friendly. Either way, the vague phrasing means she is leaving the next step to you, and the ask needs to be concrete enough that she can say yes without having to invent a plan.
A good ask does three things. It references the joke so she knows you were paying attention, it proposes a specific day or window instead of a general "sometime," and it makes saying yes easier than saying no. Vague asks like "we should totally do that" get the same vague answer back. Specific asks get a yes or a clear no, and both are useful.
The mistake most people make is treating the joke as the invitation itself. It was not. The invitation is the thing you send next, and it works best when it sounds like it came from you rather than from a script.

Read the joke for what it is and what it isn't
"Someday" with a laugh attached usually means she likes the conversation but is not yet committed to meeting. It can also be a way to see if you will take initiative without her having to say something more direct. Look at the rest of the thread. If she has been asking you questions, sending longer replies, or continuing the bit, that is a good sign. If her replies have been getting shorter or she has moved on to a new topic, the joke may have been a polite close rather than an opening.
Your profile matters here too. If she included something about her schedule, her neighborhood, or things she likes to do, you can build the ask around that. Mention a place near where she lives or an activity from her profile. Specificity signals that you paid attention and makes the invitation feel easy to accept, not like a form letter.
Propose one concrete plan with an easy out
A strong ask names a day or a window and a simple format, like a drink or a coffee, somewhere public and close to both of you. Give her two options in the same message, such as Thursday or Saturday afternoon, so she can pick one instead of having to build a plan from nothing. That turns the question from "do you want to meet" into "which day works," which is the easier question to answer.
Keep the tone light and a little playful, matching how she framed the original joke. Avoid asking whether she is free in a way that makes her feel like she has to justify a no. A plan with a clear day and place is easy to say yes to, and easy to decline without awkwardness if she is not up for it.
Reply in daylight and leave room for silence
Send the ask during the day, when she is most likely to be checking the app and responding normally. A message sent at 1am reads as impulsive, and a message sent right after a long gap can look like you were waiting to pounce. If it has been more than a few days since her joke, it is fine to reference the gap lightly, but do not apologize for it.
If she does not reply, wait at least three to four days before doing anything else, and then keep any follow-up to a single short message that is lighter than the first. If she still does not respond, let it go. Silence after a specific ask is an answer, and a second push almost always makes the situation worse. Stop when she stops, and move on to other matches.
Why these replies fail
“Hey! So you mentioned we should meet up sometime, I was thinking maybe we could do it? No pressure at all if you're busy though!”
The apology-heavy framing and the "no pressure" hedge make the ask sound unsure, and there is no concrete day or place for her to say yes to.
“Still thinking about that menace comment lol. Anyway what are you doing this weekend?”
It asks an open question about her plans instead of proposing a specific meetup, so the invitation is left for her to construct.
“Hey, I know it's been a few days, but I figured I'd try again since I didn't hear back. Are you still interested in meeting up?”
Leading with the silence and asking directly if she is still interested puts her on the defensive and makes a no feel like the easiest response.
Common mistakes
- Treating the vague "someday" as a yes and asking her to lock in a plan she never actually proposed
- Waiting several days to follow up on a joke that was clearly meant to be picked up quickly
- Asking open-ended questions like "what are you up to this weekend" instead of proposing something specific
- Making the ask heavy with apologies or reasons why you are asking, which signals you are unsure
- Following a no or a non-answer with a second, more pushy message within the same day
Questions people ask
- How long should I wait before asking her out after she made the joke?
- Ideally within a day or two while the conversation is still warm. If several days have already passed, you can still ask, just keep it light and do not reference the gap in a way that sounds like you were keeping score. The longer you wait, the more the joke loses its context, so a fresh, specific ask works better than a long build-up.
- What if she says maybe or sometime later?
- Treat it as a soft no for now. You can offer one more specific option, such as a different day or time, in a single follow-up. If she still does not commit, drop it and keep the conversation going if it is enjoyable. Pushing for a firm date after a non-answer usually ends the thread entirely.
- Should I ask her out in the app or move to texting first?
- Stay in the app if that is where the conversation is happening, since moving platforms too early can feel abrupt. Once you have a yes and a plan, exchanging numbers is a natural next step, and you can suggest it as part of confirming the date. Asking for a number before she has agreed to meet can read as presumptuous.
- What if I think she was just being polite with the joke?
- Look at how she has responded to everything else you have sent. If she has been engaged, asking questions and keeping the thread going, the joke probably meant more than politeness. If her replies have been short and she has not added anything new, a clear, low-pressure ask gives her a fair chance to say yes or no, and either answer is useful information.
