When a man is dating or involved in a serious relationship, would'nt a man talk about the woman he was involved with, when he talks about what he did for the weekend or his vaction plans for the summer??? Or does a man with-hold that information because the he wants people to know that he is available?????

Hi,

Thanks for responding to my question. I'm not having any kind of sexual relationship with the man that I posted the question about and I'm not sure of his intensions with me. And I do not know if he has a gf. I just find it odd, that if he does have a gf (I'm only speculating that he has a gf) why he would not say, my gf and I went away for the weekend & this summer we will be renting a cottage in ME.

cryptic question- this particular man may want to appear to be seen as available and is keeping his options open. it may also be that he is generally deceptive in nature and hiding a relattionship gives him the upper hand.

is this your scenario -

you are in a "friendship" with a man. you know he is "attached" to someone else. yet he doesn't (ever) mention it. what does it mean? it means that he is soooo clever. he gives the appearance of being single, yet he is in a committed relationship. it means that he knows how to play you. by not acknowledging this relationhip, he is hoodwinking you into believing that he is free. as his " friend" you are also indulging him by appearing to be available for a sexual encounter. what silly game are you and this man playing?

if he doesn't acknowledge his relationship why don't you just ask him outright what his intentions are towards you. you both know he is attached yet this cat and mouse game is for whose benifit?

Maybe he is in a failing relationship and wants to leave but feel that if he discusses this he has a chance of ruining the chances of moving on

Maybe he is just looking to other women for sex , kinds like a forbidden fruit thing

different people priorityze different ways and things in their life , maybe he just feels this information is just not as important as you

Yknow, there are also many women hiding their relationship just to look available to men.

i think it depends on the personality instead of gender.

there are many men respecting their relationship.

Basschick agony auntI think anytime a man entertains the attention of a female without mentioning he has a girlfriend is a bad sign. It tells me he wants the opportunity to still play around should he choose to do so. This is typical of men who are in newly formed relationships, wherein they're not totally committed as we are (though they may act like they are until they do something like this). Usually within the first year of a relationship (yes even after he's said he loves you) he may still be secretly keeping his options open in case something better comes along. I hope that answers your question.

This sounds like one of those trick questions. What specifically happened that you are concerned about? You will get a better response that way.

The way you have stated your question here is as if there is a universal truth about mentioning your girlfriend, there are very few universal truths, and I don't think this is one of those.
