I think it's silly to ask that question. If I were married I wouldn't be on a dating site. I always assume they are single.
so you assume that everyone must be like you? and share your thoughts and ideas?

rather meeting the opposite sex for friends or possible interest more than that in them?
- I'm not sure what you are asking here.





i mean i meet everyone for friends.. i dont go meet someone and assume that i will want to have a romantic relationship with them.. i go because i have interest in getting to know them better..to see if maybe i want to decide to go that route or maybe stay friends or maybe they are just plain creepy to me who knows till you meet? and to that ill add vise versa....

I also notice some people have a few grey areas in matters of truth. Some feel avoided the truth with the "run around" is OK.

"As long as you don't directly ask me x, y or x then I can omit the truth".

"I said I was single but you didn't ask if I was separated."

If we assumed everyone told the truth - and the DID tell the truth - our world would be quite different.

Oh! Meeting a man with no romantic expectations.

I think this is healthy. I can't say I always follow this because I have enough guy friends that I don't sleep with and I don't need anymore.

I want a guy friend I sleep with who is MY GUY!! laugh

Me, I think I'd be offended. My profile specifically states that I've never been married. To ask if I'm lying, well you destroyed any chance at having trust in the relationship to start. To assume that I'm here just to find some "girl on the side," what does that tell me of your personality? It sure isn't going to endear me to someone when the first thing they say is "are you lying to me?"


Unfortunately people lie all of the time.

Consider allowing a person to broach the subject with you to verify ONE time that you are truly single. If they seem to re-hash the topic or get insecure then you might have reason to become annoyed.

From my perspective, even when I read this in a person’s profile, I will ask. If they become defensive, that is a red flag to me. If their attitude is one of inconvenience that is almost as bad as someone who won’t open up and communicate without being put-off.

Being a good conversationalist is extremely important and that means talking about things that are sometimes irritating or uncomfortable.



I think there's a difference between people who are asking because they want to make sure they're dealing with someone single and people who check up on everything. The people who check up on everything get annoying pretty quickly, so I can see how someone might be bothered by that. I'm certainly not going to get mad at someone for asking if I'm single. But, sometimes it follows them checking up on various things I've said in my profile. That gets a bit old.
omg i have to agree with that!!!!!!

If I was going to ask (which I wouldn't), I'd have to do it in some sort of comical way so that he couldn't get upset...

Him: "I can't wait to meet you finally. We've been talking for a few weeks and I'm so excited!"

Me: "Okay, now before we meet, I have to ask you one question and I'm dead serious. If I find out you're lying to me, I will have to dismember you and scatter your parts in the woods of Vermont, and those puppies are vast and unnavigated by the populations so you'll be like dust in the wind my friend."

Him: A bit nervous now "Okay, shoot, I think, though I don't mean that literally!" He'll probably giggle nervously here.

Me: "You don't have a wife and twelve kids or a girlfriend that's going to come swinging a Louiseville slugger at me when I'm gnawing on my steak, do you? 'Cause I'd hate to have to open up a can of whoop arse on the poor deceived woman before beating you to death!"

This way I'd be able to quell my insecurities and not piss the guy off. I'd hope he'd be laughing and not angry. If not, he's not the one I'd want to date.
