At the beginning of this year I was helping a friend set up an online dating account and whilst searching local men we came across an account which I am pretty sure belongs to my cousin's husband. No picture but right age, star sign, height etc and a nickname that I know he has used for other things. It's Match and I don't think he a paid account as my friend has viewed, winked and favourited him but he has never viewed her, he doesn't know my friend so it's not that he is avoiding her for fear of outing himself.
As he comes up in her search criteria, friend has kept an eye on his activity and sometimes he doesn't log in for weeks and then other times it's every day. I don't know the ins and outs of my cousin's marriage but I'm curious about why a married guy would regularly log on to a dating website but not seem to be looking for a date. My first thought is that he's dipping his toe in to see what else is available but maybe isn't brave enough to take the next step.
