This happened just over the weekend.
To recap for anyone who hasn’t read my earlier stories, I’ve been on a bit of a Tinder binge for the last little while after a breakup. Last week I was absent-mindedly swiping while watching TV and I checked a match I had just gotten. I hadn’t noticed, but one of the guys I had swiped right on was my boss from four years ago. He’s a pretty good-looking guy, about five years older than me. Not someone I ever had thought about in that way, but his picture looked good and that’s why I matched with him.
Here’s the thing about my Tinder account: it’s pretty obvious from looking at it that I’m not looking for a relationship at this time. Without going into too much detail, let’s just say that it’s pretty obvious from peeping my profile that I’m looking for one night stands and booty calls. So when I saw he mad matched with me, I freaked out. This just felt so awkward and weird. I was so embarrassed I almost deleted my account. Then I saw he had written me a PM. It took me a few minutes to work up the courage to read it.
