The app notes that three out of four of its users want to go on a second date and in 2017 it was the most-mentioned dating app in The New York Times wedding section. Hinge costs $19.99 per month cost, although the longer you sign up for, the cheaper the monthly payment. This granddaddy of dating services is 25 years old. Dating apps have been around for multiple decades, which means they are the norm and don't have to be a last resort. Below you'll find which dating apps we love for people over 40 and which ones.

Let's face it: You can only keep so many dating app conversations going at once. Unfortunately, this means some promising matches may fall through the cracks as other convos take center stage. If you're ever interested in reigniting the flame with a match you haven't heard from in awhile, then you're definitely going to need some clever DMs to send an old dating app match. Although it may be tempting to just keep swiping for new matches instead of revisiting old ones, if you genuinely enjoyed the banter, it might be worth it to reach out once more. If you're not sure how to break the ice, here are some light-hearted openers to get you started.

2. 'Hi [their name], I hope you're doing well!

3. 'So, when's the wedding?'

The best approach is to keep the vibe light and open. If you're the one who dropped the ball and never responded to a match's message, then it may be a good idea to acknowledge it, and then ask an open-ended question to gauge their interest in picking things back up. Although it can be nerve-wracking to try and jumpstart a conversation that fizzled out, if your match is still interested in getting to know you, they'll be happy to hear from you.

Here's the problem with dating apps: It can be seriously tough to keep track of all your conversations. When you're juggling a dozen different convos with different matches, a promising one can slip through the cracks, and if too much time passes, messaging them again just feels awkward. Resurrecting an old convo is hard, but coming up with messages to send to an old dating app match is even harder. How exactly do you say, 'Hiii, remember me?' without totally weirding out that long-lost match?

Maybe you talked about going on a date but never did. Maybe you actually went on a date but never followed up about a second. Maybe the word 'date' was never even mentioned, but you two had what felt like a really great rapport before the conversation fizzled out. No matter how much time has passed since you last spoke, there are ways to revive a lost connection, so no need to kiss that potential relationship goodbye just yet. Whether the approach you take is a little self-deprecating or majorly forward, resurrecting an old convo is worth the risk. After all, that match may be hoping to hear from you again just as much as you want to message them.

It's OK to acknowledge that you feel a little awkward. But you can also smooth over the awkwardness with humor. A funny message will not only remind your match that you exist — it will remind them why they spent time talking to you in the first place. If you want to make your match laugh (and jog their memory about who you are at the same time), then try one of these playful messages:

• [Sent along with a cute selfie] 'In case you forgot what my face looks like, here it is. In case you forgot what we were last talking about, look at the convo above. Shall we pick up where we left off?'
• [Sent in two different messages] '🚨🚨🚨.' 'Sorry to alarm you. It was the only thing I could think of to get your attention.'
• 'Previously on Tinder, [your name] and [their name] were discussing the possibility of getting tacos together. On this week's episode, will it actually happen? Stay tuned to find out.'
• [Sent in two different messages] 'Hey.' 'It took me [however long it's been since you last spoke] to come up with that message.'
• '🙋. Just popping up to say hi.'
