Notts Talk to Tabitha volume five: How to Hinge appropriately

Happy weekend, loyal Tab readers. We’re back yet again, covering yet another pretty sticky situation. Let’s get right into it.

‘I found my friend’s boyfriend on Hinge and he’s convinced her it was a fluke’ – Boxer

Hello Boxer! Thank you for writing in.

Crikey, this sucks. Let’s help you get out of this situation, shall we?

Firstly, I’m glad that you’ve spoken to your friend about it. It’s always better to tell the partner about this situation, rather than getting nervous and clamming up.

Now let’s explore our options here.

There is, of course, a chance that it simply was a fluke. I don’t know if it’s a new relationship that your mate is in, but if it is, then maybe her fella simply forgot to deactivate his dating accounts. I’d presume the boyfriend didn’t make any moves on you on Hinge, otherwise it would be clear that it wasn’t a fluke. I hope that’s obvious.

This doesn’t paint him in a good light, for sure, but it’s one explanation. Hopefully this is the case.

Now, let’s get serious…

The issue with this situation now is that, if your mate’s boyfriend is on Hinge on the sly, then he’ll become much more careful about it. Once bitten, twice shy. Make sure your friend remembers that this does not reflect well on him, and that if anything even remotely suspicious comes up again, she needs to do something about it.

I think, for now, the best thing to do is simply to keep monitoring the situation. You’re entitled to your opinions on what has unfolded, but your friend has made her decision and that needs to be respected too. As long as your friend remembers her own worth, and the boyfriend keeps in line, then this will soon become just a funny memory of that one time he forgot to deactivate his dating apps.

All the best,

Tabitha xx
