This might be hard to swallow, but your ex might be a fast mover and want to get on with his life by finding a new romantic partner. Whether he intends to find something casual, a friendly companionship, or a more serious relationship, he wants to move on.

Nowadays, online dating sites provide an incredibly easy way to accomplish this by giving people access to a large group of people who are generally looking for the same thing. All he has to do is find a dating app, create his profile, and start browsing for matches.

In addition, the privacy and accessibility offered by online dating sites might lessen the fear associated with reopening his social circle following a break-up.
