I am 29F and have recently moved to NY , I have been with a guy on 3 dates but am unsure if he’s single as he claims. Are there FB groups other than AWDTSG NYC where I could ask NY ladies this question? Please help, I like him but this voice in my gut is stopping me from seeing him again

Man if I found out the girl I was dating was posting my photo/information to ask strangers if I was lying, that would be an immediate deal-breaker for me. If you don't trust him that much, listen to your gut, but don't do this lol

If I found out someone put me on one of the sites and I was actually single, that would be the end of the relationship - even if it was months from the fact.

You are all wild thinking this behavior is okay.

To answer your question, yes, there is an AWDTSG for NYC. However, I have really mixed feelings about these groups. These groups were originally created to warn women of truly violent and troubled men (serial cheaters, married men, men not fully divorced lying about their situation). It has morphed into a gossip column and girls are looking for tea / red flags without even going on a date. The reality is, if this guy has lived in NYC for a meaningful amount of time, he’s probably dated other people in that group but what they have to say shouldn’t really matter because it’s in the past. People change, people work on themselves. Focus on how he treats you and makes you feel, vocalize what you want from him and see where it goes.

If you’ve been burned but a similar situation, you’re hyper aware of things that may be red flags but they also may be nothing. It’s 3 dates, you’re not exclusive so it is possible he’s seeing other people, but that doesn’t make you a mistress. You haven’t been able to tell any of the other commenters about what he’s doing that is raising alarm bells which tells me you probably don’t have anything besides your gut (and again, I think you have raised levels of suspicion based on your past). You need to learn to build trust without the comfort of external validation. If you two stay together, it’s just you two in the relationship, not a bunch of strangers from the internet.

It makes more and more sense why her husband would cheat — cheating is often just a symptom and not the cause of a declining marriage. Thank goodness that you clarified upfront that you’re a woman, otherwise you’d be misogynistic, because according to A3, any man who doesn’t agree with her can only be a misogynist, because what other explanation could there possibly be that a man doesn’t agree with her.

You aren’t exclusive until you have the “talk”. Plus 3 dates is like 3weeks worth of knowing someone if you met once a week. So yea you’re still strangers, and he might be seeing other women.

Nine times out of ten. A man is hardly ever single. Either he’s in something or looking to replace. Or married. If he disappears nights and weekends. Ask to FaceTime. If he only FaceTimes when he’s running to the store or from his car that’s your answer. They also rarely tell the truth in the beginning. Single until an ex or present woman calls you. It’s part of its new. New also means he’s entertaining a few women. Did you do anything for Christmas & what’s his plan for NYE? If he doesn’t make any. New also means it’s holidays. He might not want to be committed. What are his good qualities?

If your gut is giving you any negative signals, just end it. Or ask to meet at his place. Or look him up on LinkedIn, look at his friend list, and see if someone else comes up with his last name. Or wait to see if the connection evolves and you meet his friends.

Social media always gives cheaters away, with just a phone # ; these crazy AI algorithms start suggesting people they most interact with and often are in close proximity. The info was served to me on a platter without looking for it.

OP if you are having these thoughts only three dates into knowing someone (prob a month of time) you should end it and move on. Many fish in the sea you will find someone even better.

On another note in 2018 when I was dating I found a women that was great on hinge. We hungout for 3-4 months. About a month in I found it strange she would only be able to hangout on Tuesdays and Sundays also was hard to get in touch with on the other days. Ended up finding out she had a boyfriend she had been dating for 4 years and I was the mistress 😂. Maybe should have mentioned something a month in but didn’t. Was quite awkward getting phone calls from her telling me to ignore calls from her boyfriend and deny.

Just because he’s single doesn’t meant you’re compatible. You’re not in a relationship with him, he may be dating multiple people as you should be doing to find your best suited partner. Don’t take yourself off the market for a rando you saw 3x.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
