Friend saw her block on a dating site

I get this is probably quite common. But my friend has been seeing a guy since November ish, and she saw he still had his dating profile. She's been hurt a lot in the past which has understandably left her with trust issues, and she checked whether he was on.

It had updated his location, and apparently this only happens if the person is still using the app.

She's not sure what to do. I told her to say that 'her friend' saw him on the app and see what he says.
They are not official so technically he's not cheating or anything, but I know she likes him a lot and she feels hurt that he's keeping his options open.

What would you do if you were her ? I'd be tempted to just have an upfront chat about being in a committed relationship, but I know not everyone wants to do that.

Just ditch him. She's obviously more into him and he's only into her as one of however many. He wants to have this cake and eat it. Massive alarm bells in terms of a relationship with this guy. Cut him loose.

Yeah :/ she is very into him, i'm wondering why he hasn't yet made them into a committed relationship. I may be wrong as i'm useless with men but don't they move mountains to be in a relationship when they want that person ?

Dpemeds how long they've been talking and what they've discussed. Has he told her he has come off the site and is therefore lying or have they not discussed it?

A committed relationship??
They have been dating a month!

KatvonC · 31/12/2019 12:09

They haven't discussed it but I think the only way she will know is if they have a chat.
It's since mid-November I think, I know that doesn't seem like masses of times but I feel like if the guy really likes you things will move fast ? God knows how many stories ive seen on here of people moving fast and still being together however many years later.

My ex had his profile picture with him and his new girl 3 weeks after he met her 😂

It's December. November was last month. I have cheese in my fridge longer than that. Remind her that she hasn't been dating him long. Be a friend and advise her to cool her investment in him. Yes, she likes him, but she doesn't really know him.
She should date others and keep her online dating profiles going too. He will undoubtedly know that she is currently more invested than him. She needs to keep it light until (if ever) they are on the same page.

Well he’s not her bloke for a start is he? They’re not in a relationship so she has no say in who he sees or what dating sites he’s on.

She needs to stop stalking him and get on with her life. If he were interested in her then he’d show it

My friend is ski in a dating app, she very often sees my ex on there, even though he has a long term gf Hmm

Glitterb · 31/12/2019 13:18

Is she still on the app and that’s how she has seen him? If so then he could be thinking the same?

If they haven’t had an official chat then I can’t see he has done much wrong

Your friend needs to have an honest and open chat with this guy. First she needs to find out if he's still chatting to & casually dating other women. If yes then your friend should continue to chat and casually date other men (aka not put all her eggs in one basket). Please encourage your friend to try and keep everything light hearted and fun and try not to get emotionally invested too soon it's only been 1month. Good luck.
