Neighbour on Tinder WWYD

164 replies

usernametaken01 · 21/07/2019 17:42

Hello!
I moved house a couple of years ago, and met my neighbour shortly after. Thought he was gorgeous but i was in a relationship, so have never taken any conversation past small talk.
He is aware I had a boyfriend, although I lived alone.
However I've now split from my boyfriend and recently gone on Tinder, where I have seen my neighbours profile. I closed the app without swiping so I guess he's still hanging around on there?
He's same age as me and I find him attractive, however he lives in my building...has potential to be awkward AF.
Should I swipe left or right?! He may have already seen me and discarded me anyway 😂
What would you do?

Oh how exciting

usernametaken01 · 22/07/2019 18:49

@Mythreefavouritethings I'm not really sure of the etiquette either as I've been out of the dating game a while and this is only my second week on tinder!! But certainly I won't message again unless I get a reply so 🤞🏼
...otherwise awkward when I see him out by the bins or collecting the mail 🙈
This has the potential to go so wrong I'm bricking it!!!

Good luck! I'm dead impressed you told your mum - not the sort of thing I'd ever have admitted to mine! (Took me about 6 months to fess up that my 'friends' I was visiting were one particular friend...)

Hattie78 · 22/07/2019 19:14

Ooh exciting! I hope it's the start of something lovely for you.

Ok so he messaged me and said he was surprised to see me on there as he thought I had a boyfriend...so I replied ex is long gone now and I'm back in the game!
He's just replied saying 'good to hear, only been waiting 18 months'...!!! (Around when we first met!!)
Am smiling like the cat that got the cream 😂
