Men Are From Mars: Part 872
So this is for my girl who asked me to post about a recent situation that has her scratching her head. Of course I told her that she should start her own blog, but she said she didn't want to be one of those people who presumed that people were so interested in her life that they would want to read weekly updates about her buying a new couch or going to the movies. This made me a bit self conscious about Rachel's Scribbles, but she assured me that I have enough credentials as an actual writer to justify my blog's existence.Anyway, she got a phone call from a guy she used to talk to on the phone a while back, but still keeps in touch with via email and text messages. He said he was in town for the weekend and wanted to hang out. So they met for lunch, over the course of which he touched her leg and suggested that they meet up at a party DC next month. Two hours into their afternoon, the subject of weddings came up and she asked him whether he was thinking about marriage at all. He responded, "Oh yeah. I'm actually about to be engaged soon." Turns out he's had a girlfriend for the last two years for whom he's ring shopping as we speak. So she would like to know from my readers: was this outing friendly or shady?

I'm gonna have to vote shady on this one.... He probably felt justified in his shadiness because after all he came "clean" about his relationship status....

Shady - It seems as though he was always shady UNLESS because she should have already known about this girlfriend. In adult relationships, 2 years is a long time! So, if they used to "talk on the phone" within the last 2 years and she didn't know about this girlfriend, that equals SHADY! Also, if he has a girlfriend then why do they need to meet in DC? Seems like he's trying to use your friend for a quick fling/thrill before his deeper venture with the gfriend. A new woman will always keep a dudes attention for a short period but they usually return to their roots!

Oh good heavens! If he is in such a "serious relationship," why did he even call her up out the blue to "rekindle" their relationship/friendship/whatever it was? I wonder if his fiance is aware that he is hooking up with "old friends" when he goes out of town, let alone inviting them out for a nightcap with a suggestive leg touch. The whole thing reeks of shadiness to me. If i were this young lady, I'd probably leave it alone, just to be safe. He is no longer available.

From a male point of view, he's just trying to see how far he can take it with your friend. A man can be serious about a girlfriend, fiance, or wife and still choose to cheat. So, don't assume dude isn't serious about his girl because it appears that he may try to step out on her. It's not right, but it's reality. Some men are opportunist. If the opportunity presents itself, they will jump on it. Many times that bad decision is not a reflection of their relationship or lack thereof.
