Have you ever found yourself falling for a guy, but felt something was a little off with your budding relationship? You can never seem to get much of his time, he’s always busy, and when you call him, he’s always visiting that mother of his at bizarre hours There are some great men out there, but there are plenty of bad apples too. Take a look at this list of 10 telling signs that you’re the other woman.
1. Your Dates Are In Secretive Locations
A good indicator that you’re the other woman in his life is if all of your dates are in odd, out-of-the-way places like a dive bar or hole-in-the-wall diner that’s nowhere close to your place or his. Also, does he accompany you to places like the mall or in town running errands? If he always has excuses as to why he can’t go certain places, he might be trying to avoid being seen with you.
2. His Phone Calls Are Private
Another sign that you’re the other woman is if your man always leaves the room to take his phone calls. Sure, we get private calls every now and then but not all the time! If he can’t answer his calls in front of you, he’s likely talking to his girlfriend or wife and trying to avoid any trouble from her and you.
3. You’ve Never Seen His Place
A big red flag warning that you’re the other woman is if he always comes to your place and you’ve never even seen his house. If a guy is really into you, he’s going to eventually take you to his place regardless of his messy roomies or whatever excuse he comes up with. If he’s always avoiding going to his house for some reason, he’s probably shacking up with his girlfriend or wife.
4. Your Dates Are During Off Hours
One of the most telling signs that you’re the other woman is that your dates are always during weird hours like late nights and you can’t ever spend holidays or special occasions with him. If he’s always unavailable on certain nights, can’t see you until the wee hours of the morning or if he can only stay the night every now and then, he’s probably spending the majority of his time with someone else.
5. I’s Not Official On Facebook
This might seem like a silly way to tell that you’re the other woman but if he says no to even being friends on Facebook or keeps his Twitter account secret, you have a reason to be suspicious. If he lies about having either, that’s another red flag. Even if you are friends online, don’t get too comfortable yet, some guys have multiple Facebook accounts to keep certain things private.
6. He Hates Pictures
Another one of the telling signs you’re the other woman is that your man hates taking pictures together or having his picture taken at all. He’s probably afraid of the photo getting posted online and it being seen by the “wrong person.” If he doesn’t keep any pictures of you around, that could be another sign that you’re the other woman.
7. He Gets Nervous
One of the main signs that you’re the other woman is if he gets ants in his pants when you ask to borrow his phone or use his computer. Even if it’s a work phone or work laptop, there’s no reason for him to get nervous when you need to use his things. If you’ve seen him use either item for non-work stuff then you know he’s hiding something and he’s not just trying to be a good employee and follow work policy.
8. You’ve Never Met His Family And Friends
Another one of the significant signs that you’re the other woman is if you’ve never met his friends or family. Sure, you might know the guy that he was with when he met you, but do you hang out with his homies on the regular or ever go out for meals with his siblings? Meeting the parents is a huge deal, but if you’ve never met any of the important people in his life, you’re probably the other woman.
9. You Only See Him During Odd hours.
Spontaneity is good, fun even. But when you only find yourself spending time with this guy during lunch breaks or extremely late at night, it’s a sign that he’s just fitting you in where he can, so he doesn’t get caught or the outing doesn’t conflict with times when he’s with someone else.
10. He Won’t Make Plans Ahead Of Time.
Everything is impromptu. Again, being spontaneous is great, but when you can never plan a real date with him because he doesn’t want to commit a day/time for you should “something else” like his girlfriend/wife come up, then eyebrows should be raised.
