A LinkedIn user recently shared a screenshot of a conversation with a potential match from the dating app Hinge, sparking a buzz online. The chat revealed an interesting detail about her match’s work preferences: despite having the option to work from home, he chooses to go to the office every day of the week.
In the caption accompanying the post, she wrote, “I was talking to a potential lover from Hinge, and he proudly mentioned he enjoys going to the office seven days a week—even though his company offers a hybrid work model. Red flag.” For those unfamiliar, a “red flag” in a relationship refers to warning signs of unhealthy or problematic behavior, such as lack of trust, emotional or physical abuse, controlling actions, and disrespect.
Her curiosity didn’t end there. Pondering over his devotion to office life, she joked, “I mean, why would you willingly go to the office every day unless there’s an office crush involved, right?” To dig deeper, she asked him for a referral, only to be denied, prompting her to write, “And he said NO.”
The caption concluded with a playful remark: “Am I overthinking this, or is he just a die-hard Narayan Murthy fan?”

A LinkedIn user recently shared a screenshot of a conversation with a potential match from the dating app Hinge, sparking a buzz online. The chat revealed an intriguing detail about her match’s work preferences: despite having the option to work from home, he voluntarily goes to the office every day of the week.
In the caption accompanying the post, she wrote, “I was talking to a potential lover from Hinge, and he proudly mentioned he enjoys going to the office seven days a week—even though his company offers a hybrid work model. Red flag.” For those unfamiliar, a “red flag” in a relationship refers to warning signs of unhealthy or problematic behavior, such as lack of trust, emotional or physical abuse, controlling actions, and disrespect.
Her curiosity didn’t stop there. Wondering about his unwavering love for office life, she joked, “I mean, why would you willingly go to the office every day unless there’s an office crush involved, right?” To test the waters further, she asked him for a referral, only to be denied, prompting her to write, “And he said NO.”
The caption ended with a jab: “Am I overthinking this, or is he just a die-hard Narayan Murthy fan?”
Many users flocked to the comments section to share their views. One user argued, “Your post is a clear example of how we aren’t so open to views that don’t align with ours. You may be someone who likes to WFH (be it to avoid seeing your manager or otherwise). That doesn’t mean everyone does. I, for one, though not of the generation you are from, am most productive when working from the office. I am also super excited to work with my manager to make things happen. Meeting people is my game. I feed off of others’ energy. And I assure you, there is no office crush in my two decades of work.”
Another suggested, “I think you missed the last msg. ‘The office is just 2mins away from home..’ Who will not go to the office if it is just 2mins away from home… People look forward to WFH just to avoid long distance travelling through crowded trains or car or bike risking their lives to reach the office..”
A user added, “Taking the screenshot into consideration and allowing myself to assume things like you did… He loves his work… A green flag and a lucky person whose work is something he does love.”
