How to reply when she asks if you're still talking to other people
Learn how to answer honestly about dating others on Hinge without killing momentum or seeming evasive.
When she asks if you're still talking to other people, she's checking your level of commitment and whether you're worth investing time in. This question usually lands after you've had real conversations or met in person. She's not asking for permission to keep her options open. She wants to know if you're seriously interested in her or just collecting matches.
A good reply acknowledges the question directly, gives her a straight answer, and keeps the conversation moving forward. You're not defending yourself or over-explaining. You're being clear about where you stand without making it weird.

Why she's asking now and what it signals
This question appears at a pivot point. She's decided you're worth asking about, which means she's already invested enough to care about the answer. It signals she wants to move from casual Hinge chatting to something real, or at least to know if you're on the same timeline.
The timing matters. If she asks after one message, she's testing your interest level early. If she asks after meeting or weeks of texting, she's asking whether to invest more of her time. Either way, she needs a direct answer. Vague replies or deflections will make her assume you're hedging because you're not that into her.
Give a straight answer, then show interest in her
Your reply needs to do two things. First, answer what she actually asked. Yes or no, with a brief reason if it makes sense (like "I was, but we didn't click" or "not really, been focused on talking to you"). Keep it honest and short. She doesn't need your entire dating history.
Second, signal that she matters. This comes through in what you say next. Move the conversation forward by asking something real or proposing to see her again. The combination of a direct answer plus forward momentum tells her you're interested in her specifically, not just hedging your bets.
Send it during normal hours, then wait for her real reaction
Text this during the day when you're both likely to see it and respond without the pressure of a late-night conversation. Early evening or mid-morning is safest.
After you reply, give her space to respond. If she goes quiet, don't panic message or over-clarify what you said. A day or two of no response after a direct answer usually means she's processing or she's moved on. If she comes back, great. If not, you know where you stand. Don't follow up with "did you see my message" or try to soften what you already said. Let it sit.
Why these replies fail
“Haha not really, you're the only one I'm really vibing with though”
The laugh deflects from the question and the compliment feels like damage control instead of real interest
“Everyone talks to multiple people, that's just how dating apps work right?”
You're lecturing her instead of answering, which makes you look defensive and dodges accountability
“Why, are you?”
Flipping it back avoids the question entirely and makes her feel like you're avoiding commitment talk
Common mistakes
- Dodging the question with a joke or deflection, which reads as dishonest
- Over-explaining your dating strategy or why you were talking to others
- Throwing the question back at her instead of answering
- Admitting it in a way that sounds like you have no interest in her specifically
- Being too casual about it, making her feel like she's one of many
Questions people ask
- Should I lie and say I've stopped talking to other people if I haven't?
- No. She will find out or sense the dishonesty. A direct answer about where you actually stand keeps her trust. If you're not ready to focus on just her, say that. Let her decide if she wants to stick around.
- What if I haven't talked to anyone else since matching with her?
- Say that directly. It's a strong position because it shows you moved fast and were interested. Don't be shy about it. Phrase it simply: "No, I haven't been" or "Not since we matched, honestly."
- How do I answer if I'm still early stage and not ready to be exclusive?
- Be honest. "Yeah, still have a few conversations going, but I'd like to see where this goes with you" is clear and fair. She can decide if that works for her timeline. Don't hide your status.
- What if she doesn't respond after I answer honestly?
- That's your answer. She either didn't like what you said or she's moved on. Don't text again. If she reaches out later, you can pick it up then. Pushing after silence just looks needy.
