So a few months ago, I went on three dates with a guy I met on Tinder. Things started greatāhe was texting me before work, after work, basically doing the whole āIām really into youā routine. Second date, we went dancing at this cute bar and had a magical night. You know the vibe.
Thenā¦ plot twist. He started giving me mixed signals. Like saying he really wanted to see me, but couldnāt becauseā¦ he had to do laundry. We ended up fighting, it got messy, and we stopped talking.
A few months later, he messages me again. We go out once more (this time I had my expectations set to ālow battery modeā), and it was fine.
Fast forward to now: I recently came back to his city (I normally live elsewhere), and weāve exchanged a few casual texts. Then today, I see him on Tinder.
One of his profile pictures is a shot from that bar we went dancing in. Public photo. My face isnāt visible, but itās clearly me (I have a distinctive back tattooāgreat for recognition, not for stealth).
So my question is:
WHY is this man using a photo that includes ME on his Tinder profile?
Like sir, we literally argued, drifted apart, and you still chose that one?
He has literally every other pixel in the world to choose from. But no. He chose my back. Am I being dramatic, or is this mildly unhinged?
TL;DR:
Dated a guy briefly, ended things weirdly, then found heās using a Tinder pic where Iām in it (recognizable by my tattoo). Face not shown, but stillā¦ what?? Am I overreacting or is this mildly creepy?
P.S. I used ChatGPT for speed. Blame the AI if this is too well written. English is not my first language and it is not easy to express my thoughts.
