1st post...matched online few weeks ago, gave his number then deleted profile! Met few days later for coffee then twice in the following week I went to his place.says he's looking to meet someone & not a fwb thing.we text every day, get on great on dates .now I know we're not exclusive & it's too early for that but my friend just messaged me today saying she saw him active on dating app.so he's deleted it after giving me his number then made a new 1 & obviously blocked me from seeing it.i hadn't deleted mine yet but mentioned to him I hadn't been on them. I know he's quite entitled to still be on them but weirded out that he's blocked me from seeing him.thoughts on what to do?both early 40s.no judge remarks about sex too soon thanks it's done.

I’d just say to him “my friend sally said you trotted out the same tinder is mental line to her when you matched with her under your new profile. I’ve no problem with multi-dating this early on but I have a huge problem with the unnecessary deception, goodbye”

He has a subscription so doubt deleted it def looks like unmatched/blocked.that and the number offered so quick was a red flag ive stupidly not paid attention to.Think I'm just going to block him now I've wasted enough time & head space here.thanks everyone for the advice x

He’s clearly looking to be seeing multiple women at once. Whilst pretending to the women that they are the only one. He’s a fraudster.

He may be a player, but how is he a fraudster? The OP recognises they are not exclusive and seems cool with that. One interpretation of his actions might be that he wanted exclusivity, but if no conversation has been had, it's only guessing (and guessing wrongly at that!).

I think you need to have a conversation with him. I don't want people I've matched with to see I'm online, he owes you nothing at this point and so many matches end in disaster so I don't really see this as such a big deal. If he's done this after telling you you were exclusive I'd be binning him but ffs, he's just trying to be discreet.

Exactly.... A lot of extrapolation and determination to believe the worst possible motives, and even ignoring the OP when she said she knows it's not exclusive.

Also, If he intended to defraud, he'd tell the OP he wanted exclusively and wasn't seeing anyone else... not hope she might get the hint by deleting his profile.

Do you have permission to use that child image in a post? It’s illegal.

What on earth do you mean?

ThisWormHasTurned · 13/09/2023 06:26

Er I’m pretty sure that’s a girl called Mila. She’s a twin and her Mum (Katie Stauffer) has done countless videos with the kids that have gone viral so her image is all over the internet 🤷🏻‍♀️

DatingDinosaur · 13/09/2023 07:46

Well it was a stock GIF I found on the internet not some random child I took a picture of and overlaid some text. Maninwhite is just having a strop/looking for a fight because nobody’s taking his comments on board. And there was really no meaningful or relevant point to his second to last reply anyway.
