Cora Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 So I got an alert last night that someone viewed and liked my profile on the dating app I’m on. I realize we may all run into someone we know on these apps especially if we live in a fairly small town, but I was shocked when I saw who it was. It was my cousins ex husband. They have been divorced for several years now and she has since remarried. He remarried as well, but is divorced again. Anyway, while my cousin was married to this man I got to know him pretty well as I spent a lot of time at their house as my cousin and I are pretty close. They have a daughter together which I’m also extremely close with and he has a daughter from a previous marriage which I also got to know. Anyway, my point is even if I was attracted to him......which I’m not, this would never work. I mean the whole extended family knows him well as he’s come to many family Holiday gatherings, not to mention he’s been friends with my father for many years even before him and my cousin ever married, I’m extremely close with his ten year old daughter (my little cousin), also he and my cousin aren’t exactly on the best terms now.....they are merely civil because of their daughter. So what the hell is this man thinking? Why would he even entertain the thought of us dating when things would obviously be very very awkward??? Or does he really not remember who I am? I mean it’s been several years, but still?
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 It's possible he just liked it to acknowledge you, say hi? "Nice photo, good to see you" kind of thing? 5 1
CAPSLOCK BANDIT Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I wouldnt take something like this seriously, I have an account on OLD for serious dating, then i have the 'Press the like button before her image even loads' account lol. I think most men will just repeatedly hit the like button or swipe to like
Gr8fuln2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 He hasn't forgotten you. As already mentioned, just playing peek-a-boo with you. Just to acknowledge your existence on the app... 1
preraph Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Oh, he knows what he's doing. He's acting like a POS, that's what. Just block him or whatever you do to get rid of someone on that app.
basil67 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 My bet is that his 'like' was to acknowledge you. 1 1
smackie9 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 You are over reacting. I agree with everyone else he’s just acknowledging you is all. 1

He's thinking he saw an attractive single woman on a dating site. He wasn't thinking about the rest of the family. It was just that he liked your personality way back when he was married to your cousin. Now he thinks you are attractive enough to date. Obviously & sensibly you see all the awkward ramifications & know that this would just be icky for everybody else so it's a non-starter. He didn't give it much thought beyond, gee she's hot or I'd do her. Take the compliment & move along. Ignore him the same way you would ignore any other unsuitable man who liked you on the site. Never speak of it. Then carry on as though it didn't happen. Revisionist history isn't all bad. Edited January 20, 2020 by d0nnivain
