too scared to swipe right on someone I vaguely know (online dating)

had a bit of a crush on someone who used to work where I used to work...

Came across him on a dating app. I would never have swiped whilst we were working in the same place just in case. (I know I am a wuss)

I know he might be an upgraded member of this dating app as I saw he was upgraded on another app... so if I do swipe him, he might be able to tell!

Although I no longer work in the same place as him I'm petrified of swiping right in case it shatters the illusion of fancying him and he doesn't swipe right.

I never plucked up the courage to speak to him in old place of work. He never seemed that interested but that said it was a huge place with tons of people in and out and there was never really the opportunity to chat if I am honest (plus I am shy!).

anyone got any advice? The worst thing would be for him to see I have swiped on him and not swipe back! my confidence is low anyway and I would probably take it personally. It's unlikely we will be in the same social situation again, as I don't get out much (LP).

Swipe right. You want to know. Just do it. You'll have an answer.

Swipe right. What’s the worst that could happen? If he doesn’t respond and you see him again in a social situation, then he’ll either not say anything to save your embarrassment or be an arse and say something, in which case you had a lucky escape. You can always pretend you didn’t realise it was him and laugh it off, “Oh how embarrassing! Must get my eyes tested, obviously I’d never swipe for you” etc.

And then if he does swipe right, it could be the start of something great. You’ve got nothing to lose!

You won't see him again anyway, there is literally nothing to lose.

SWIPE.

aaahhh i was going to do it and he's disappeared from my feed.... I kept dithering by clicking back out of the swipees into my profile then back again when I couldnt' decide and after a few new faces he would reappear. But he's stopped reappearing!!

I'll give it a few days, maybe he will come back again.....
