Your Ex Just Popped Up As a Match On A Dating App…Now What?

The internet makes our big world a very small one. So many single are on dating apps nowadays you are bound to run into an ex of yours at some point? But what do you do? Well, that all depends. Did you end on good terms or bad terms? It will be like a choose your adventure experience. Depending on the situation in which you ended the relationship will determine what “adventure” you choose to take.

Bad Terms

So you ended on bad terms, he could have ghosted you or cheated or maybe he was just a jerk and things fizzled out. If he ghosted you take a stroll around his profile and check out some clues to lead you to a conclusion as to why he ignored you. Maybe something happened or maybe he is just plain rude. Now if he cheated and pops up on your dating app…swipe the hell out of there and don’t even give him the time of day.

“If he cheated, it’s possible he was on the dating site well before you found him on there this time. And, you don’t need to see photos from when you were with him in his new online dating profile.” — Sandy Reitman, blogger

Good Terms

If you had an amicable breakup then you can either swipe on by or maybe it is time to give it another shot? Just because you didn’t work out the first time then maybe second time’s a charm. Your best bet would be to keep on swiping by because even though you ended on good terms, it still ended. My best advice is to leave sleeping dogs lie. Just let it be, swipe left and find someone fresh and new!
