I'm still doing online dating, eventhough it sucks, but that's my only outlet for now. I seem to meet men who are either married or just too busy to date. They say they're single, but they are always busy, either it's the their work schedule or just busy weekends. I just met this one guy online. We had our first meet up at a park after work. We just talked and kept in contact via texting. I had asked him if he was married and he got a bit defensive about it, asking me why I am asking him all these questions, when in fact it was only one simple question. He later apologize and said the reason why he got so defensive was because i past experiences with other women asking him the same question. Silly me, I didn't look at his ring finger. So are there any other signs I could be missing.

Even if he (or she, for that matter) has his ring off, there's probably going to be a dent, or smooth spot where the ring always sits.

I'm thinking that being busy nights, weekends, and holidays is always a pretty good sign.

And if he's particular about when you call him, that would be something else.

Finally, offer to drop by his house. If he freaks out, then Bingo.

Used to be the wedding ring, but now a ton of people refuse to wear even that. I wish they did. It would really help us single folks out.

Why do some people not wear their wedding ring ever?

As for online dating, yes, there are a lot of married men online pretending to be single (being online is more convenient for them). You were right to straight out ask him if he was married and ignore his defensiveness. The only way you will know for sure is when he takes you to his place and you see it, so try to get that to happen as soon as possible, so you won't waste your time.

I think the constantly busy thing might be a give away. I know people have busy lives, but if a guy wants to really see you, he'll lighten up his schedule a bit.

That's my 2 cents on the subject.

A pilot that asked me out on OLD would only call late at night, and left his hotel number to call him back. /lol Yeah, I never went out with him, at best his actions were rude, at worst I figured him to be married.

Thats a great Idea. I would call him, but his phone is always off, it goes straight to voicemail. He says he gets no reception for his cell phone at home or he would have to go outside by his garage and talk to me in order to get good reception.

Basically, I have little to no contact with him during the week. It's frustrating and annoying. How the hell can you get to know someone if they are constantly unavailable. I thought he had potential and could possibly be the one, but I guess I'm wrong.

Even if he's not married, do you really want someone who is like this?

I said it before, if a man wants you, he'll part the ocean to get there.

It sounds like the OP is an after thought to this dude.

Not trying to be mean to the OP.

I think sometimes women need to be a little more selective in who they date. If a guy is really casual about you, he probably "just isn't into you"

Maybe I'm just old fashioned in this sense. I don't know.

I'm not offended, I'm just keeping my options open.
