What should I do if my friend’s boyfriend swiped right on me on tinder?

[Anonymous]

One of my good friends here in college started dating a new guy which she met on Tinder, and said I should try it as well. I made an account and even got a month of tinder gold, and today I saw that one of my likes is from her boyfriend. What should I do? Do I tell her? I took a screenshot of my likes page with him there just in case.

For the people saying I should tell her, how do I go about doing so? I’ve never been in this situation before and don’t really know how to go about it.

I told her! I sent her a text with the screenshot I took, and she was pretty upset but glad I told her. She confronted him about it over text, and right now we're waiting for his reply. Thanks for your help, everyone.

Maybe your friend told him to in order to see if you were the kind of friend that would try and steal her boyfriend. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who uses Tinder should not complain and maybe even deserve what they get for that matter. I mean what can you really expect from a hook up site?

Honestly, I wish this was the case, lol. I let her know, and she was pissed at her boyfriend and sent him a text immediately. I'd rather it just be some test. I guess you're right about Tinder though. I think I'll just delete it, this is so messy.

To be fair, it started as a hookup site but plenty of people use it for regular dating and relationships because it's easy.

Tell her right away. But we dont know how long ago its been

[Asker]

It just happened about an hour ago, as soon as I saw it I asked this question on here bc I didn’t really know what to do.

[WomboCombo]

Screencap it in case he gets wise and deletes it

[Tututwerl09]

Is that her boyfriend or just someone she's dating

[Tututwerl09]

Oh I see. Let her know now!!

[Asker]

I told her! I sent her the screenshot I took as well. She's worried that he's been communicating with other women on Tinder, since he's still been swiping. She confronted him through text, and we're waiting to see what he says.

If he doesn't recognize you, you could try to keep the conversation going to get some more incriminating evidence to bring to her so he can't just try to play it off with a lie

[Asker]

Thanks! I haven’t started a conversation yet. How do I go about getting “evidence?”

[WomboCombo]

Act oblivious and flirty, see if you can his number or agree to meet up for a bang. Only possible problem I see with this, is that if he realizes who you are he might try to tell his girlfriend, and make it seem like you're betraying her. Do what you think is safest.

Tell her. Don't speak to him. Your friend will hate that.

Show her his profile and tell her he recently swiped right

[Asker]

Thanks! I let her know.
