I met a guy, we were introduced to each other once in the past but never got the chance to know each other better. He told me he was attracted to me and I like him too. He asked me out to just hang out, it was nice I think this was a date. After that he started texting me that he really likes me and wants to hang out again. He’s polite, doesn’t talk about sex or anything but he says he can’t stop thinking about me, misses me and he never felt that way before etc. The thing is, I checked his facebook profile, there’s no relationship info but he’s tagged in a picture with a girl and it says she’s in relationship..with him. Seems like they’re together for 3 or more years. He doesn’t say anything, sometimes he mentions he has friends over, or that he plays computer games in the evening. He told me once about some other ex-girfriend so I assumed he was single now. Of course I could just ask him but I don’t want to sound like a crazy stalker at this point, also technically he didn’t do anything wrong, yet. So I’m just wondering.. is he happy in a relationship and just plays with me and lies to me? Or is he unhappy and looking for an affair, or wants to break up with her if he decides he likes me more?
I wanted to ask him but I start to think maybe he wouldn’t even hide or deny it since she has this on her profile.. so maybe he doesn’t treat me seriously.Could he know that I can find out and he doesn’t care? I thought I would wait till the next time and see how it turns out.
June 25, 2018 at 9:18 pm #214145just_let_goParticipantHi Anya, I think it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Just say something like this, “Hey, I don’t mean to overstep here, but I couldn’t help noticing that there’s recent photos of you and a girl you appear to be in a relationship with. I just thought I should ask, as if that’s the case I don’t really feel comfortable with what’s going on”
Another possibility to consider is that they’re from an old relationship. I still have photos of me and my ex all over facebook and instagram, some as recent as a month ago. Some people don’t feel the need to delete these and some do.
Hope it all works out
June 26, 2018 at 12:00 am #214163anya12ParticipantHi just_let_go, thank you for responding. Some photos are old, from 2015 and recent from January 2018 but her relationship status is “in a relationship” and there’s his name, so they are obviously together. I’m very shy when it comes to such confrontations, but I’ll try to ask, I know I have to.
June 26, 2018 at 2:27 am #214171AnonymousGuestDear anya12:
You wrote that you were introduced to this man once in the past, didn’t get to know each other, then had one date/hang out and following that one single date, “he says he can’t stop thinking about me, misses me and he never felt that way before”
– it is possible that a man will not be able to stop thinking about a woman he had one date with, and that he will miss her, a man who would form such a quick and strong attachment to a woman following one single date. Not likely, but possible.
The part that is way less likely is that “he never felt that way before”- a man who forms such a strong and quick emotional attachment to a woman following one date, unless he never dated before, must have formed such attachments before.
Regarding the other woman, maybe she is a recent ex who didn’t update her profile yet. Maybe she thinks they are only on a temporary break but he thinks it is a long term break, or a final break.
I hope you post again, would like to read how this develops.

June 26, 2018 at 3:02 am #214183just_let_goParticipantHi again Anya,
If her profile says they’re still in a relationship, that’s a bit of a red flag. There’s every possibility that she hadn’t updated it yet, but I know from experience, that it’s one of the FIRST things to go following a break up. Having photos of each other is one thing, still showing as “In a relationship” is another.
Maybe try not to look at it as confrontation, and more as a conversation.
