What are the signs a girl you meet on a dating app is looking for a hook up or a relationship?

I matched with a girl on Hinge on Tuesday and we swapped numbers on Wednesday after she asked me if I fancy meeting up within the next few days (she openly gave me her availability without me asking for it. She was also busy with her sister's wedding this weekend). She checked up on me on Thursday evening and updated me with how her evening went.

I set up the date and she thanked me. We haven't spoken since Friday lunchtime but even when we exchanged messages it was straight to the point and short.

I am looking forward to meeting her on Wednesday but what signs should I look for to see whether she wants a hook up or relationship? The last girl I went on a date with from Hinge I made a mistake with. I didn't realise she only wanted a hook up. I don't want to repeat that mistake.

Be direct and ask specifically what she’s looking for. I’m not sure why people skirt around this when dating, but it’s an important piece of information and the sooner you know the better, so you’re not wasting each other’s time and investing in one another when if you have different intentions.

Generally the woman uses terms like "don't try to run game on me". "I'm not down to f***". Or "not looking for a hookup". It's been my experience that the women that come right out and say this are the first to try to sleep with you. If not then she's probably looking for a genuine relationship.

Are you on a hookup app or a “relationship one?

I think Hinge is classed as a relationship app. But not too sure.

I thought Hinged, Match, POF, Christian Mingle, and Bumble. I’m not on them but friends are. My understanding is Bumble is like one of the female led relationship garbage.. app.
