Online dating: learn to steer clear of married people

May 25, 2009

757094_high_speedDo you feel like every person you meet these days and want to date is married? It’s sort of frustrating. All the good ones always seem to be taken. A lot of women feel this way and have been venturing online to find new prospects to date. Unfortunately, for these women, 1/3 of the men they are meeting online are also married. And, even worse, chances are they do not realize it. This does not mean you should quit online dating; it is more a voice of warning to watch out for those who may be deceiving you. What are some signs he’s not telling you the whole truth?

• He has no pictures of himself posted, or his picture is a group shot that is dark and hard to see.
• He will be the first to initiate contact.
• His responses are often irregular and erratic.
• He wants your phone number but will not give you his.
• His calls are either irregular or always at the same time.
• He will only tell you his cell phone number.
• You are always leaving him a message on his phone.
• He has not told you his last name.
• You do not know exactly where he lives.
• He does not discuss his family or where he grew up.
• You have not met his family or friends.

The truth is you don’t want someone like this, so move on and find a better guy.
