Is it a red flag if they're still on dating apps?
Short answer
Depends on what you agreed
In the first weeks, lots of people still use the apps: it's not a red flag unless you've agreed to be exclusive. If you have, or it's been months, it's fair to ask. How they answer (honest or defensive) tells you a lot.
It depends on
- Whether you've talked about being exclusive
- How long you've been dating
- Whether they're honest when you ask
What you could say
- I've deleted my apps. How do you feel about that?
- Are we seeing other people? I'd like to know where we stand.
- I'd like us to be exclusive. What do you think?
