So, last night I was casually swiping through Tinder, not really expecting anything exciting, when I came across a profile that looked super familiar. I stared at it for a moment, and then it hit me, it was my ex. We broke up a while ago, but clearly, I didn’t realize I was this desperate to see what he was up to. 🤦♀️
I did what any rational person would do, I swiped right. I mean, it’s been a while, maybe he’s changed, right? 😂 Well, he swiped right too. And immediately, he messaged me with, “So, we’re doing this again?”
I froze. What do you even say to that? “Hey, just making sure you’re still alive?” “LOL, let’s talk about how we both ended up here again”? 🙄
I panicked and unmatched him immediately. But the worst part? I didn’t even have time to unmatch before I saw his face at a coffee shop this morning. We literally locked eyes like two people who had just been in the most awkward Tinder match ever. I quickly turned around and pretended to check my phone.
TL;DR: Matched with my ex on Tinder by accident. He messaged me first, and I ghosted him. Now I have to pretend I didn’t just swipe right on the one person I definitely shouldn’t have.

Oof, that’s like the universe saying, “Remember this mistake?” Gotta love those awkward run ins!
He fucked up by opening with THAT as his line lol
this post is not as fun as it should be, without you sharing details of WHY he’s your ex
His opening line was a bit awkward, but ghosting is not cool.
It’s a sign? Two actually
Message him – Hey sorry for any confusion. I didn’t mean to connect again – and definitely not on Tinder. Take care.
I once accidentally swiped right on my brother, so could be worse! My own stupid fault as I was trying to screenshot (that doesn’t sound good, but a family member had said they were concerned he was lonely during the pandemic, so when I stumbled across his bio on a dating app, I thought a screenshot might be reassuring) which, on my phone, can be done by swiping the side of your palm across the screen. You can guess the rest.
He either didn’t realise that his sister had swiped right on him as he would have had to pay for premium to see his matches, or he totally realised and is saving some ammo for when he really needs to use it against me.
