Your ex-boyfriend got on Tinder since the breakup to meet new girls, find a new girlfriend, or get attention.
He is at a venue in his life where he believes he doesn’t have that many options for dates in his regular life, having worn out his social circle for potential dates.
Facing that stark reality and a rapidly dwindling social circle of potential female dates, he branched out to see what else is out there.
Though a primary reason is to meet new girls or find a new girlfriend, your boyfriend wants attention too.
Being on Tinder gets him attention he doesn’t experience in real life.
An ex who texts you again out of the blue has either recently gone through a breakup that has left them unhappy, or they have been single for an extended period of time and are lonely.
When exes hear from each other after a sustained period of time, it is due to a sense of loss, unhappiness or a sudden drop to their sense of self-esteem.
An ex who texts you out of loneliness is as clear-cut as they come.
They haven’t had much luck replacing you and are settling for you.
An ex who texts you after having gone through a recent breakup did so after rethinking their past relationships.
