Today,Japan Hinge launches new prompts co-created with Esther Perel, psychotherapist and host of the hit podcast Where Should We Begin?
Perel is known for her expertise on sex and relationships. Where Should We Begin? brings listeners into anonymous couples therapy sessions. Perel's bestselling book Mating in Captivity discusses sex in long-term relationships.

In my friend group, I'm the one who...
Something my pet thinks about me...
The kindest thing someone has ever done for me...
An award my family would give me...
You'd never know, but I...
I'm in my element when...
Before we meet, you should listen to...
I could stay up all night talking about...
It's not a vacation unless...
Where I go when I want to feel a little more like myself...
"As a couples therapist, I've spent decades observing relationships at all stages. I've seen that love often starts with an invitation: to talk, to connect, to share stories, to explore the world together. And the right invitations elicit curiosity, inspire playfulness, and break daters out of old scripts," said Perel in the press release.
Hinge is known for its prompts, and earlier this year, the app added AI-powered prompt feedback to encourage more thorough responses. (Mashable has compared AI features on Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble.) Hinge also recently introduced Match Note, a way to share private details with matches that daters may not want to share on a public profile.
Prompts are apparently so successful that other dating apps have started adding similar features. In recent years, both Bumble and Tinder added them as options to user profiles (the latter and Hinge are both owned by the same parent company, Match Group).
