A girl I knew from high school liked me on Tinder looking for “short term fun”. I haven’t swiped right yet but should I?

I know it’s her because I got a notification saying “NAME just liked you”, and she always appears second in my stack when I open the app, plus the blurry pic matches her first image.

I have autism and I used to get made fun of in high school quite a lot, so chances are she swiped on me as a joke, but I don’t know if I should still just match to ask why tf she swiped on me? I’m not at high school anymore but I’m scared she’ll tell people I know and they’ll think I’m a perv for swiping on her?

I dunno man, swiping right on someone who used to bully you in high school just sounds like asking for drama. Even if it's just to ask why she swiped, she or her friends could definitely still spread it around to embarrass you. People don't always change that much after school.

If it was me, I'd probably just swipe left and not risk it. Who cares why she did it anyway - it's not like you actually wanna hook up with someone who treated you badly back then, right? I'd leave it alone and just focus on meeting new people who will actually appreciate you for who you are.

Maybe she did it as a joke or maybe she's actually interested now, but either way you don't owe her any explanation. You've moved on from that school stuff and seem to be doing your own thing now. No need to invite negativity or judgment back into your life over something so small. Keep swiping and meeting people who won't judge you for having autism. That's my advice anyway, man. You do you, but I wouldn't risk poking that high school bear again if it was me.

He never said she bullied him

It's understandable that you might be uncomfortable with her, so just swipe left to be on the safe side. Dating apps are something that you might want to consider staying away from.

plus dating apps r a waste of time n effort for most part

Is your autism bad or is it just shyness?
