Today, I've been getting weird vibes from my boyfriend of over a year and half, so I made a fake Tinder account. Guess who my first match was? My now ex-boyfriend. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that the man I have been talking to on a dating site is actually my ex-boyfriend. He created a fake profile and made me fall for someone that doesn't exist. We got on better anonymously than we ever did in 3 years together. FML
Today, I made my way to a bar for a first date with a guy I had been talking to online. It turned out he was actually my ex-boyfriend in disguise, trying to get revenge for dumping him. FML
Today, my ex messaged me out of the blue saying she found my fiancée's Tinder profile. I told her there was no way it was true. It actually was. FML
Today, my girlfriend confronted me about having an active Tinder profile. When she showed it to me, it was someone pretending to be me. But that now begs the question: Why is she on Tinder? FML
Today, I made a fake MySpace so that I could flirt with my boyfriend and see what he would do. He ended up dumping me for the fake MySpace girl. FML
Today, I went on a virtual date with someone I met on a hyper-personalized dating app. It turns out that the app matched me with my ex. Again. Because, apparently, “statistically, you two have so much in common, and also unresolved issues.” FML
Today, I discovered that my Tinder date is the roommate and best friend of a date from the previous week that went sour. He also hangs out with my former high school flame. What are the chances? FML
Today, I felt ready to trust men again so I had a little foray into Tinder, just to see what’s out there for a divorcee in her 40s. The very first guy I matched with catfished me with his photo and wanted to buy my dirty undies and socks, in a ziplock bag “to preserve the aroma.” FML
Today, I convinced my roommate, who’s been single for a while, to get back in the dating game. He downloaded Tinder. His first match was my girlfriend. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to go on my boyfriend's Facebook to change his status. While in the process, his account received a message. Turns out he's planning on hooking up with his ex-girlfriend/one of my friends and is definitely over me. How's that for snooping around? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

While I agree, a match means that he’s actively using it. It means he saw the new, fake profile and swiped right.

Many would consider having an online dating profile a form of cheating

Just because he has tinder doesn’t mean he is actually cheating on you.

He's there to find new friends, right?

A dating profile in itself isn’t enough evidence.

Yup. profile on its own isn't Great but not worse case. An actual match means he is actively using it and That is bad.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? If he was the first match, doesn't that mean The Algorithm says you are perfect together? Who are you to think you're smarter than The Algorithm?

I dealt with that crap from my ex husband as well! you're so much better off, but I'm sorry youre dealing with this.

That reminds me of an old song - “Escape” (the Pina Colada song). Depends on the circumstances, were you looking to catch your boyfriend being unfaithful or were you looking for new options yourself? If you were looking for new dating options and happened to get paired with your (now Ex) boyfriend then it’s the song I mentioned. If you were purely looking to catch your (now Ex) boyfriend being unfaithful, then maybe you found what you were looking for or maybe he was looking to see if his options were more interesting than being with you? Either way it’s a sign that there are relationship troubles. In a way I sympathize with both of you. I hope your next relationship is a more fulfilling one.

I don't know why that song had a happy ending. They were both attempting to cheat on each other! It's pretty stupid, but I do like piña coladas, so I just forget about the dumb ending.
