This man isn’t interested in an exclusive relationship. When you come to think about it, he never promised you anything – you jumped to conclusions by yourself.
He never talked about labeling your relationship, and even when you try tackling that topic, he avoids it at all costs.
Whenever you two meet up, he only cares about one thing: physical pleasure. I hate to break it to you, but you’re probably nothing but a booty call.
And there would be nothing wrong with that – if you wanted the same. But the problem is that you two clearly have different aspirations.
8. He’s emotionally unavailable
If he likes me, why is he still online dating? Another possibility is that, sadly, you’re dealing with a commitment-phobe.
This man is quite different from a player. He doesn’t have any intention of jumping from one hook-up to another. Keeping his sex life spicy is not his number one priority.
So, he is still active on dating apps just to prove a point to himself. He won’t ask any of these girls on a first date, let alone initiate something more with them.
Online dating sites keep him convinced that he is a single man and that you haven’t succeeded in caging him!
Modern dating wouldn’t exist without social media, dating sites, and platforms. And yes, looking from one point of view, they really do make dating a lot easier.
However, some people get so wrapped up in an online world that they lose the ability to function in real life. If your guy is one of these men, I hate to break it to you, but he will never delete his dating apps.
He’s addicted to online dating, and he won’t heal from it overnight. He’s not interested in going out or hanging out with his friends to meet new people.
He’s replaced clubs, restaurants, hobbies, and his entire social life with the online world. You don’t have to worry about him cheating when he goes out, but you definitely should be worried about the girls on his phone!
What To Do About It?
Now that you got the answer to the question, “If he likes me, why is he still online dating?” it’s time to do something about your problem!
1. Figure out what you want
Before you act on this issue, you have to know what it is that you want. Why are you actually bothered by your man’s online activities?
Are you scared that he’ll date other women? Are you jealous because you care about him or because his behavior hurts your ego?
Maybe you want to keep your options open as well. Maybe you’re not sure whether he’s the one you should settle with. In that case, you’re both on the same page, and there is absolutely no problem.
2. Do you have the right to complain?
You won’t Vice wife like this, but you have to ask yourself if you have the right to complain before actually complaining. But please, forget about your desires here and look at your relationship as realistically as possible.
As much as you’d like to, you can’t sleep with a guy once and call him the next day demanding exclusivity and asking him to delete Tinder or any other dating website he is on.
I’m not saying that you should wait ages before you do so, but you have to ask yourself if he’s given you any reason to think that he likes you for real.
3. Talk to him directly
I know you’d want him to delete these apps by himself, but honey, most men don’t work like that. Sometimes, they need to be explicitly told what is expected of them.
