Matched with a guy on Tinder. Had a great first date. We are stilling chatting on WhatsApp. But he has disappeared from my tinder (presumably, he unmatched with me). Is it typical for ppl to unmatch on Tinder when they are still interested in you?

You go on a date spend quality time , you have some intimate moments and the next thing the guy does is unmatch you on the app without sending a text.
