If you’re not over your ex, it is not a good idea to be on a dating site in the first place.
At this time, you are most likely not emotionally available to anyone that you may meet on a dating site.
This means that you could end up talking to someone on a dating site for a while, only to realize that you are not feeling the same way about the person because you are just not emotionally available to them.
This is something that often occurs when someone joins a dating site and they are not over their ex.
Your focus should be on healing emotionally before getting on a dating site.
A good way to heal is to simply live your life to the fullest.
Engage in new activities and get to know new people who love the same activities that you do.
Do not talk about your ex to these people, nor should you in general.
Your goal in this period of emotional healing should be to attract positive energy into your life.
As time goes on and your life is filled with these fun activities and you are also preoccupied in getting to know these new people in your life, you will heal emotionally.
You will no longer have the space in your mind to keep thinking about your ex because you would have so much more positive factors in your life to preoccupy your mind.
This is one of the best ways to go about getting over an ex.
People do not get over their ex by joining a dating site.
You should really keep this in mind if you choose to remain on a dating site.
Now, if your ex is also on the same dating site that you are on, that means that they are most likely looking for a new partner as well.
They may also be trying to use a dating site to help themselves get over the breakup.
Being that this is your ex and your relationship with them is clearly over, you shouldn’t attempt to visit their dating profile or message them.
Again, this is an ex that you should be trying to get over.
Trying to get their attention on a dating site is not going to help you do that.
If your ex is on the same dating site as you are on, there is a chance that they will also notice you at some point.
You are both most likely close to the same age and have the same interests.
Hence, there is a good chance that they will either come across your dating profile as they are conducting a search or the matchmaking algorithm may send your dating profile to them as a match at some point in the future.
When this happens, they may be unsure of what to do.
If they choose not to send you a message, you shouldn’t take that as an opportunity to also look at their dating profile just so that you make them aware that you saw that they visited your dating profile.
Oftentimes, exes who find each other on the same dating site will continue bouncing back and forth into each other’s dating profiles without saying anything.
Neither one of them wants to be the first to say something.
This is especially true if the breakup was contentious in nature.
You should not allow yourself to get stuck in this game of chicken.
If your ex visits your dating profile, you should ignore the fact that they did.
If your ex chooses to send you a message, you should also ignore that message.
This person is your ex for a reason.
You will not be able to get over them if you continue allowing them back into your life.
Again, you shouldn’t be on a dating site in the first place, being that you haven’t gotten over your ex. However, if you choose to remain on a dating site, you should avoid communicating with your ex, even if they reach out to you.
You will not be able to move forward with your life if you do.
