Ex's brother on dating app

I'm in my late 40s and recently (about 6 months ago) came out of a 4 year relationship. The relationship was great at times, but ex had far too many unresolved issues following his divorce. This created a poison within our relationship, especially as the ex was still very much present in the background. We are still close friends. I have no intention or desire to go back.

I've recently found out my ex and his ex are planning an overnight trip together, which will involve sharing a double room. Despite his denial that they are getting back together, I'm not naive enough to think he's not hoping for more (and who knows whether her continued presence during our relationship was always platonic?). However, whilst I was upset when I found out, I've now realised there's no point. They will do what they want to do and I'm relieved to no longer be dragged in the middle of their mess. I feel completely ready to move on.

Anyway, this is just to set the background.

I've recently joined a dating app and whilst I haven't actually met up with anyone yet, I've been idly scrolling and cringing at some of the awful bios 😂 However, I've just seen the bio of my ex's brother. We've always got along, he's attractive and we have shared interests and hobbies. I can see he's already swiped right on me. Do I swipe left as he's the brother of my ex and that feels disloyal, or do you think it's ok to swipe right back? They are not close.

Swipe left.
plenty fish in the sea. Why stick with one pond?

Bad idea. Don’t go there.

You know it’s a ridiculous idea so swipe left and move on
