Hello Everyone.
Would like to post a new thread. thank you!
I have been seeing a guy for 6 months now.
He has a few profiles on a couple of dating sites.
After seeing one other time he had been back on there.
I check periodically to see how often he gets on those sites.
If a man is happy with the one he is with, why does he get on them?
It makes me feel he is looking for something else.
It is hard to trust him after doing this.
Any answers?

Well he could say same thing as when he goes on there he sees you and thinks why is she on there? To even see who is on there you'd need to have active profile yourself. Did you two discuss exclusively dating? Are you having sex? After 6 months you both are still members on dating sites, it's pretty long time. How is the relationship otherwise?

I would say you need to talk to him about it. He's the only one that is going to be able to give you any information that is valid. Share your feelings about it with him. Divine does bring up a good point...do you still have memberships? If so, maybe you both need to do some thinking about your relationship and where you would like it to go. If not and you just looked up his computer history( or whatever the case is), you still need to have the same convo...what do each of you want out of the relationship and where is it going. If he is not willing to stop looking up women, regardless of his answer, its time to move on. But, please, do have a meaningful conversation about your relationship...no blaming, no accusations....just converse to understand one another.

You are correct in asking why someone would be a member on a dating site when they are dating someone, but that would imply some kind of exclusivity agreement has been made between you. If not, then this is not an outrageous thing as you have not agreed to be commited to each other exclusively yet. If so, then I ask what the other poster said, he could ask you why you're on there too. Why do YOU have a membership there still? Again, he could be checking on you too. You never know. Try to see both sides of the situation and communicate with him how you feel about it as the other poster has said.

Also. As it has also been asked, how is the rest of the relationship, well I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if you're checking on your partner to see if he's frequenting a dating site still, this speaks volumes to where you are, and where the relationship is. Be careful about becoming somewhat of a stalker like gf partner that checks up on her their partner to find things questionable without reason. That only leads to suspicion and mistrust. If you're that insecure about where you stand with this guy, this is yet another underscoring factor that communication is needed and you should know up front where you stand with this guy before moving on.

Having online female friends and aquaintances is hard enough, but being active on a dating/hook-up site is entirely another. Let him go.

Accidentally coming upon these activities is another thing too, but seeking them out is questionable. This would suggest you yourself were on these sites.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
