6 Ways to Find Out If Your Boyfriend is on Tinder?

Do you suspect that your boyfriend might be using Tinder to meet other women?

If so, your gut feeling might be right because some men and women do use online dating and social media apps to cheat on their partners. 

Before the internet age when a boyfriend was cheating on his girlfriend or wife, he was usually caught in the act in a bedroom with his mistress.

However these days, some men and women use online dating apps like Tinder or Bumble to cheat.

Often women that sleep with a cheater don’t realize that a guy is in a relationship because he may go by a different name or lie about his relationship status.

However, there are also women that don’t mind that the guy is already taken or actually prefer to sleep with married men.

Luckily, or unluckily for him, there are ways to find out if your boyfriend has been using Tinder to meet other women.

This works great if your boyfriend doesn’t know your friend.

What to Do If Your Boyfriend is on Tinder?

If you‘ve caught your boyfriend using Tinder, you might be feeling a range of emotions, including anger, betrayal, and insecurity.

How sure are you that your boyfriend is using Tinder to cheat on you?

Just because he has a Tinder account doesn’t mean he is still active there.

Some dating sites make it hard to remove your profile especially if you already paid a yearly subscription.

It is possible that your boyfriend forgot to delete his profile or doesn’t know how to do it.

Just deleting the Tinder app from your phone doesn’t delete your Tinder account and your page is still visible.

There are might be also other innocent explanations for why you found your boyfriend’s Tinder account.

What if someone else is using his photos to create a fake profile either to spam or to make it look like your boyfriend is cheating?

Once you have a better understanding of the situation, it‘s time to talk to your boyfriend about what you saw.

Be honest about how you‘re feeling and why you‘re upset.

If your boyfriend gives you a reasonable explanation for why his Tinder profile is still active, you probably have nothing to worry about.

However, if he admits to using Tinder for meeting other women or you can sense that he is lying you will need to figure out how you are going to move forward.

If your boyfriend is apologetic and willing to work on rebuilding trust, then you can decide whether or not you want to stay in the relationship.

However, if your boyfriend is dismissive or refuses to take responsibility for his actions, then it might be time to consider moving on.
