\"\"Call me na\u00c3\u00afve if you will, but I have never used a dating website. To be honest Suze and I have been together since before they really existed and I’ve always met partners through work or socially, so even if they had been around I would never have felt the need to register on one.<\/p>\n

However I was lacking inspiration last night and did what I usually do in that circumstance and typed in the few random words to the oracle of all knowledge that is Google.<\/p>\n

I’ll not tell you what the words were, because that would allow you to find out who I am about to talk about. Suffice to say that they were pretty random. What came up was a profile on a dating website that displayed a rather disturbing profile. Not because the guy was creepy or looked odd, but be stated his relationship status as “Prefer not to say”.<\/p>\n

Hang on a minute! Surely that speaks louder than “married” or “in a relationship”. Silence on something like that, and a guilty silence at that, surely means that you’re a) up to something, b) feel that you really didn’t ought to be and c) because you think b – then is that because you still have real feelings for your current partner.<\/p>\n

OK, so maybe because of the fluid relationship situation (I mean he’s on a dating site after all) maybe he didn’t want to be pinned down. But I’m sure there would be a more honest and therefore informative description of his status than “Prefer not to say”. Or maybe it’s just being a dating site virgin that makes me think that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
