When should we delete our dating profiles?

[Anonymous]

I’m dating a man I met on bumble. We aren’t officially together yet but trying to work to a committed relationship and also agreed we’d only see each other until then. We both still have our dating profiles, but I’d be 100% willing to delete mines if he deleted his. I haven’t been on it some we started dating. Is that something I should expect when we are committed or something one of us should just do?

When it's official. He's declared you his girlfriend. When I was with my ex and we weren't official I had a dating profile up but as soon as he asked me to be his girlfriend, I removed it.

That’s what I was thinking. Once he asks me I’ll take it down

I would say you have to talk openly about your feelings about it... don't guess or assume...

Good point. It’s still early but will be needed before getting into a relationship

Yeah you would think out of both of you I mean just out of respect I would think that I know I would do it even though I don't like dating sites but yeah when you feel that bond that commitment I would do it right then

a lot of women I've seen don't take down thier profiles, just all of thier pics. It kinds of signifies, "hey I've found a guy that I'm pursuing"

What does it matter as long as you're not actively using it. I mean I get the message it sends. But a person (man or woman) needs to give you a reason to WANT to delete it.

You delete your profile when you’re in a committed/official relationship.

Put it on pause while you're dating him. Then once it's official, delete it.

If you are exclusive, I'd delete the profiles.

Exclusively dating but not committed yet

[dudeinohio]

Right.
