Entering a new relationship can bring you loads of happiness, but if your man acts in a way that makes you think he is already taken, there are a few warning signs that you have to look out for. However, to avoid this kind of complication in your relationship, you have to talk to him and clear things up before dating him.
But if you've already started dating this man, watch out for these signs.
Warning sign ### He doesn't answer your calls.
If your new beau doesn't answer your calls and prefers to only respond through text messages, even though he is not at work or hanging with his friends, chances are there is someone with him who he doesn't want to know about you. If this happens often and you start to become suspicious, ask yourself why he's doing such a thing. Or better yet, ask him!
When you get the chance, you might also want to check if he saved your number on his mobile phone. If he did, is it saved under your name, or an alias?
Warning sign ### He doesn't show you off to his friends and family.
When people get into a new relationship, they usually introduce their new significant other to their friends and family at one point or another.
If you've been dating him for months and he hasn't introduced you to anyone yet, chances are he's hiding you from them, or hiding them from you. If he keeps bringing you to out-of-the-way places where he's sure nobody he knows is going to see him, that's a major red flag right there. Is he worried about being seen with you?
Try planning dates with him on special occasions, like Valentine's Day. If he's loyal to you, he's going to spend it with you. If he makes excuses, then he might be celebrating it with someone else.
Warning sign ### He meets up with you at strange hours.
A man who is loyal to you will be there for you when you need him, not only when it is convenient for him. A man who is taken will be unavailable most of the time. If he often asks to meet up with you at strange hours, then you have to ask yourself why. If he shows up at your doorstep after work, chances are he's using the good old "working late" excuse with his wife or girlfriend. If he always shows up in gym clothes, he might be pretending to be at the gym, even though he's actually with you.
Try asking him to join you for dinner, and specify what kind of outfit he should put on. If he acts reluctant or suggests that he'd rather change his clothes at your place when he arrives, then that's one big warning sign plastered right in front of you!
Warning sign ### He doesn't invite you to his place.
If you're always meeting him in restaurants, bars, hotels, or your house, you might want to suggest that it's about time he invites you for dinner or a movie night at his place. If he refuses, he might not want you to be at his place for some reason.
Is he living with someone else? If he's sharing the place with other people or his parents, there shouldn't be any reason to not welcome you.
If you don't even have an idea where he lives because he refuses to tell you the address, then there's a big chance he doesn't want to risk an unanticipated visit from you.
In Summary
When it comes to dating, follow your heart but trust your instincts. If your guts tell you that something isn't right, then it probably isn't. The best thing that you can do is to confront him. However, there's a big possibility that he's going to deny it.
So, before you take your relationship to another level, do your own thoughtful investigation to make sure that you're not his number two.
