How can I avoid seeing my ex on dating apps?

I had same concern as you. It’s getting better once you get used to it. I use multiple apps, and I always worry to see my dates (who rejected me) on the other apps. The first time you saw them on the app, it was horrible, all the feeling/ emotions coming at once. Hang in there. Second time you saw someone, it gets better. After you dated many people and saw them on the other app, you can just laugh about it (they are still single, haha guess what, I am the best they can get) and quickly left swipe.

I did one time went on first date in a cafe, and found out the guy sitting next to us that I went on date before, he rejected me, and the first date with that guy also in this cafe. He recognized me. It’s super awkward and embarrassed. After two years, i can share it as a joke with my friends.
