Encountering your ex on a dating app

One of the main reasons I haven't gotten back into online dating is because I really don't want to come across my ex-boyfriend. There are now articles out there to help you with such things if this does happen. Saying that even if you broke up mutually, then it is acceptable to "like" the guy. I do not agree. Even though we may have ended on good terms doesn't mean I want to come across him on a dating app. My ex and I broke up a few months ago, everything was fine. I hadn't gone back on any dating app since. (Btw, he and I met on a dating app). Anyways, my roommate did though and it freaked me out. I knew she wasn't going to "like" him, but it messed with my emotions. Now enough time has passed, and I thought I would be fine to do such things has check out his Facebook page. I was wrong. I discovered that he had gone to a bar that I had introduced him to when we were dating for his birthday. Now, normally I wouldn't really care but I had originally thought that since we had ended mutually, and relatively good terms, that he would wish me a happy birthday (my birthday is just a couple of days before his) but he didn't. So therefore, I didn't feel obligated to wish him a happy birthday either. Which brings me back to the whole bar thing. I know it is probably childish, but it just kind of felt like a stab in the heart almost. I had tried to talk to my friends about it, but they really didn't understand my feelings about it. Probably because I normally do not have feelings. Anyways, right now I am just living life as best as I can and taking my father's advise by playing the field. Besides, I am way to young to settle down. I'm only twenty-five.
