00:00We want to know what you think.
00:01So, this morning it comes from Ethan, and this is interesting.
00:05Ethan says, my girlfriend and I have been together for almost two years,
00:09aside from a short breakup last summer.
00:11One of my friends was on a dating app recently and somehow matched with her.
00:18Oh.
00:18I confronted her about it, and she said she made the profile when we had broken up
00:25and she just totally forgot about it.
00:27She told me she doesn't even have the app on her phone anymore, which I checked,
00:31and that's true, and I don't really know how these apps work,
00:33so I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.
00:36Is it possible for an old profile that someone isn't using anymore
00:40to still show up and match with people,
00:42or does that mean she's actually been active on it more recently?
00:46Should I just trust her explanation, or am I being completely naive here?
00:51Whoa.
00:51Ooh, okay.
00:52I mean, I totally see both sides of this, so I don't know.
00:56Why didn't she just delete it?
00:58That's what I would ask her, like, just delete the whole profile.
01:01But, I mean, like, if it were me, now granted, haven't done this, not privy to it,
01:07I might think just deleting the app would delete all of it, and who would care?
01:13Which is a good assumption to be made.
01:15I wouldn't necessarily think that people are still matching with me
01:19if I don't have the app on my phone anymore.
01:21And take any other app, how often would you go in and deactivate whatever account
01:25for whatever app, unrelated, like, if you don't want the Chipotle app anymore,
01:29you're not going to go in and end your account, you're just going to delete the app.
01:32You're just going to delete the app.
01:32I understand.
01:33But you know what?
01:34Shannon is most recently involved in the dating apps.
01:38Yes, I would like to touch on this.
01:41Having experience on dating apps, meeting my boyfriend on a dating app,
01:46if you delete the app, that does not delete your account.
01:50Your account will still be active.
01:52And say it's something where, you know, when you're on Tinder,
01:58you both have to like each other to even know that you liked each other, right?
02:03On something like Hinge, the dating app, only one person needs to like
02:09to let the other person know that they liked him.
02:11So if I like Donnie, he's going to know that I liked him.
02:14So...
02:14Okay.
02:15We know that that's not the way it would have gone.
02:17Donnie would have liked you and you wouldn't have liked him back.
02:19But continue, please.
02:20So if she deleted it and she was honest about that,
02:24yes, her account could still be active without her knowing.
02:28I don't know why she's matching with his friend.
02:33That's what I was going to get at.
