The deactivation of Tinder sends your account into Cognito, taking away the ability for others to see your account. With a simple login on the app and a few numbers sent through text your back into the love game.

Deletion means the profile is gone, and a simple code sent from the Tinder gods through text doesn't reopen this "addicting game." The question is, which one deleting or deactivation is the right call when you decide to be loyal to your man and not see other people?

One might deactivate out of sheer laziness and convenience of not starting over in case the relationship doesn't work out. Or if the person is really feeling the situation out and seeing it only going in a good direction, deletion might be the better option. This is a tricky call but this is something you and your man should talk about. You want to make sure both people are comfortable with the situation and that someone doesn't get curious and check their account.

Deactivation can leave you wondering if one person in the relationship is checking to see if new matches are happening. It's not that you have to Tinder exile yourself but I think if you're committed to someone who needs Tinder, Tinder leaves either person in the relationship feeling like they have to wonder if their person is looking for someone else or that they need to compete with someone.

If you feel you need that confidence boost that you get from a match on Tinder, knowing that hot guy or girl swiped right on you look to your person for that confidence boost. They like you for you, don't go looking for that validation somewhere else.

Delete Tinder and start over if you have to someday. Anyway, it's just a few swipes to the left or right to start over.
