Is it normal for your boyfriend to not delete his tinder id

64% Normal
13 Comments

We met on tinder and 5 months on, I found his profile on tinder. He said he uninstalled it on his phone but never actually deleted his ID. Why would he keep his ID even if he claims he has never logged on since. He said he never talked to anyone on there since meeting me. I feel like he kept that Profile because he is not content. Like he was saving it for later. Could what he did be a normal mistake. is it normal he did this?

    Like the other user said, he could've simply deleted the app but not his account. Also there's no reason for you to get so upset if he truly loves you that's all that matters. Remember you guys aren't married and relationships come and go. if it's meant to be then speak to him about it, ask him if he thinks that you guys won't be together for long. I made the mistake of cutting off all contacts with females when I was with my ex girlfriend. We went through a rollercoaster relationship emotionally and when I finally broke it off I felt lonely because all of my female friends were out of my life just to satisfy her insecurities. Put yourself in his shoes.

    I had tinder (But never met up with anyone) and deleeted the app when i met my now ex.

    i forgot all about it until one day a friend of mine said he had seen me on tinder, and i was like WAIT WHAT? I didn't know if it was true but I was like wait, i actually never deleted the id.
    So I installed it again, deleted my ID and then deleted the app again.
    So maybe it's a insurgence mistake, mine was! i never planned on using tinder again ( i never did)

        Yes...but...why would you still be looking on it if you're in a relationship? Having forgotten to close an account is an explanation for him still being on. But I can't understand why someone happy in their relationship would be looking through profiles on tinder.

    Well, it's up to you to trust him or not. I'd be careful.

      And make him delete it too. If You want to be with him long term make it clear. He won't need it anymore and its easy to delete

        "Make him delete it" I hear you but I hate the feeling of "making" someone do something.. especially policing a boyfriend who is a grown man. He should know what he wants instead of being made to do something.

          True enough but if he doesn't use it then you can politely ask him to just get rid of it since he won't need it anymore. Plus having it could tempt him to use it sometime In the future anyway. Let's say if your on a weeklong vacation and he thought about looking at another lady. That app would make it real easy:( That's just my recommendation personally though. He is grown so I can't say if it really matters or not

    or it could be he liked the way he has it set and in case things don't work out he can pull it back up.

    It doesn't mean he's not content it just means he's cautious.

      Cautious after 5 months? That's a little hard to believe. He is keepin options in his back pocket. I guess I am paranoid because I am saving myself for marriage and he says he respects my decision but be still tries to get things going of you know what I mean and I fear he is getting sexually frustrated or he feels that there is something more or better out there. I looked for him on tinder 2 months ago and didn't find him and now he pops up?

    My boyfriend and I met 6 months ago on Tinder and we have been in a relationship ever since (well, officially a week later lol). We both deleted the app from our phones (and believe it or not he was the one who initiated and did it first), but I actually deleted my profile correctly only because my friend had explained that deleting the app doesn't delete the profile. We are happy as ever, never fight, and are together everyday. He doesn't have a lock on his phone and he never makes me feel insecure. I hate to sound so cliche, but we're soulmates. When I found out that he only deleted the app, I told him about it and he went on and deleted the profile as well. Guys don't know all of these things, lol. I'm sure your BF is happy with you and it was most likely an innocent mistake. Hope this helps.

      Your story is actually so helpful and it gives mee hope. I guess I just hated feeling stupid coz I deleted my ID first and I thought he'd follow suite by deleting his properly. He has never givenme sny reason to doubt him but I just feel so hurt for some reason and feel bad at the same time for giving him a hard time.
