He may have broken up with you, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t feel any emotional attachment to you.

He may keep on looking at your profile on a dating site because he is unable to completely detach himself from you emotionally.

Though he was the one that broke up with you, there are still facets of your personality that he clearly liked.

There are also still good moments from your relationship that he tends to think about.

He may miss those parts.

He may miss what it was like to have those good moments with you.

Perhaps he thinks about a time the both of you went on a trip together.

Perhaps he thinks about a time when the both of you watched an event together.

These are all good memories to him.

As a result, he can’t help but keep on looking at your profile because he misses those moments.

He also thinks about the good facets of your personality that he misses.

He may miss the way you laugh.

He may miss your sense of humor.

He may miss how open you were to try new activities.

He may miss one particular facet about your personality or several.

As a result, he feels drawn to your profile.

He can’t help but keep on looking at it.

There may be a part of him that wishes that his entire relationship with you were only filled with those good moments or those moments where your personality shined.

He may wonder about what that would have been like.

However, in the back of his mind, he knows that there are other areas about the relationship that he just didn’t enjoy.

It was these areas that led him to break up with you in the first place.

He may allow himself to get lost in the good elements of the relationship from time to time, but he also knows that the problems within the relationship outweighed the good parts.

Hence, he broke up with you.

When he looks at your dating profile, he can fantasize about what it would have been like if everything within the relationship would have been perfect.

However, deep inside, he may know that this is just not the reality.

Another reason why he broke up with you but he keeps on looking at your profile on a dating site could be because he may not want you to move on from the relationship so quickly.

By continuously looking at your profile on a dating site, he may want to continuously remind you about the relationship that you had with him.

He may be doing this out of pride and ego.

He may not want you to feel as though you can just move on from him.

He may want you to think about what led to the breakup in the first place.

He may want you to try to understand why he chose to break up with you.

If you were to move on to a new relationship so soon after the breakup, he may worry that the relationship that he had with you bore no significance to you.

He may not want this to be the case, even though he was the one that broke up with you.

He may just want to feel reassured that you are experiencing the emotional weight of the breakup and you are reflecting on how you behaved.

In essence, even though he broke up with you, he may still feel a sense of ownership over you.

He may not want you to move on from him and into a new relationship so easily.

When he keeps on looking at your profile on a dating site, he is hoping that he continuously reminds you about where you may have gone wrong in the relationship.

Thereby, you can truly reflect on what you have lost.

This tends to boost his ego and enhance his sense of pride.
