So 2 years ago, I met this guy off Tinder and we had a little fling. He went away for a summer job so we never really had the chance to grow that relationship. However, me being the dumbass that I am, I still caught feels. I was excited to see him when he got back but he just never contacted me. I knew he was back cause he was posting stuff on IG. When I called him out on it he simply said that he “forgot”. I’ll admit, I was hurt about this for much longer than necessary. It was my first time after all….
Anyways, fast forward and I was on the app about a month ago and I happened to run into his profile. Again, me being the dumbass that I am, I swiped right cause idk fuck it I guess lol. Honestly I thought he’d swipe left but I woke up with a message from him. It was the exact same thing he sent me when we first matched back in the day (real original dude).
I’m not even kidding, this guy had no idea who I was. He was just hitting on me like we had never hung out before. Wtf? How do you not remember someone that you had sex with? He was just messaging me like I was some stranger and I guess at the end of the day we don’t know each other that well but I figured he would at least remember my face though.
I honestly didn’t even know how to react to it. Part of me gave him the benefit of the doubt cause it has been 2 years but the other part of me feels like I should be really pissed off. Honestly I just didn’t even know what to say so I kind of just played dumb. I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain myself to him. Nice to know that I wasn’t even worth remembering though… I eventually just ended up unmatching him cause of course it took me two fucking years to realize that I deserve better. Idk why, but for some reason talking to him again finally made me be able to cross the bridge of moving the fuck on. I no longer had him on some stupid pedestal. So I guess I can take that away from this experience?
But I guess I just want to know your overall thoughts on this and if you think I handled the situation okay or if I should have reacted differently? Is that kind of stuff normal in the tinder hookup scene where it’s just easy to forget the people they’ve slept with?
