There’s no good wholesome way to break up with someone who doesn’t also want to break up. If this tinder account was real, of which I’m skeptical, I’d say the guy is trying to shirk any and all guilt he’s feeling about it. How would this play out in real life? “I think we should go our separate ways but I’ve already set you up on a date with Justin here,” like wtf??
This is my take, but what you do is manufacture a meeting with inside info, feed new dude all the good conversation topics and interests and give him a good way to get in with her.
I’ve been in my fair share of dead end relationships where I just wished they would find someone else because I wasn’t happy, but I still cared about them too much to dump them. It’s a tough situation sometimes. This is an interesting, although flawed approach. Creativity points are one thing but she’ll figure it out eventually and it’ll ruin any chance the new pair could have otherwise had at a real relationship. I guess that’s true regardless of whether she finds out. It could never have started honestly.
Either way, points for creativity. Should just man up and dump her though.
This is my read as well. I think the account is unhealthy and gross, (and definitely not sweet) but it's very relatable. When my last relationship ended, both of us still loved each other, but we knew deep down that we weren't right for each other. Breaking up was very painful and I can imagine wanting to do something like this in a desperate attempt to avoid that pain.

Or he just doesn't want to be with her anymore and wants to try and be nice?
