Hi all.

​

I've been with my girlfriend for 3 years and thereabouts, and all was going pretty well. I met her IRL, but before that I was having no success with the Tinder game. She, herself, never used it ever.

​

2 weeks ago, she was telling me about some of her friends' horror stories on Tinder, and I laughed with her and added "Tinder's way worse for guys, though". She didn't believe me when I told her most guys get 0 matches, and I wouldn't either. So we decided to play (what seemed at the time) a fun game : set up Tinder profiles of each other and see what happened. And the obvious happened: after one week, I had pretty much no matches except bots. On the other hand, she was bombarded with matches and messages, quite a few of them from pretty attractive guys (or at least, what I judge to be attractive guys, a lot of them probably more than me). She admitted I was right and that it was an "eye opener". We agreed to shut down our profiles.

The problem is, ever since, she's grown slightly more distant and cold, and it's now beginning to be noticeable. Basically less happy to see me, much less in the mood for sex, not as physical or cuddly as before, and more importantly way more monosyllabic in our conversations. etc. I sat her down yesterday to talk about it, and she was evasive. When I asked if the Tinder experiment had anything to do with it, she looked away and just vaguely said "I don't know, maybe".

​

I feel like I've played myself here. Is this doomed or is there any way I can save it?

​

TL ; DR: played a Tinder experiment with my girlfriend and now it looks like she's way more distant and cold towards me.
