How do you find out if someone is married?

It turns out he is likely unmarried. It also turns out that he does not like animals! This I found out when I saw him at the library today. I ran through a list of pets, but he doesn't even like fish. Most of all, he doesn't like dogs or cats or rats. He did not have pets when he was a kid. I'm not even sure he was a kid. How can anyone not like animals??? It's not like he's been bitten or anything. I asked. He's not a vegetarian, so I guess that means he likes the ones he can eat. So maybe a sociopath, if he only likes dead animals???

Rather a stretch t o say because he doesn't like animals as pets and he eats meat he could be a sociopath. :oops: o_O:whistle:
 

A man at work was becoming a bit over friendly with me, not offensive but very attentive, saying he’d like to get to know me better, making my coffee etc.

He did not wear a ring but I noticed he never mentioned anything he had been doing at weekends or Bank Holidays, so I asked him outright if he was married and the answer was, “yes, but not happily” :rolleyes:…..yeah right, there’s no way he was getting to know me any better

Goodness, this sounds a bit stalkerish on a man who has simply had a few nice conversations with someone.

@911 do people really go to these lengths?

Absolutely, they do. Women, especially, have come into the state police and requested information on a boyfriend or other person. There is a site here in Pennsylvania that anyone can check if a person has a criminal record.

A smart lady you are! So many miss the obvious. The only people that would be upset by someone asking them if they are married is someone who is married and was hoping to have someone extra on the side, so to speak. Move on. Org.!
 
About animals: In past years, my family had dogs as pets. I don't dislike them, but I have no dog or cat as a pet now. I may be too picky, but I don't want hair or fur in the carpet or on furniture, or "accidents."

I might be able to put some of that aside in exchange for having the company of a pet, but the fact remains I live alone and have no family member or friend who would take oof it if I was hospitalized, or died. I already know my cousin would take the pet to the animal shelter. Many times those things figure into a person's decision whether or not to have a pet, rather than simply disliking animals.

You could look it up on a website; for example this one. <--
However, that website like others is only a rough approximation, and is generaly quite inaccurate.
The best way to find out is by talking with him.

Yep, there's tons of "people search" websites. They want to resell personal data that they scrap off of public databases. You'll see a homogenized listing of associations of people, places and events that aren't current, or just not relevant. Even if you pay for the data there's no guarantee as to accurancy.

I think you are absolutely right. I wish more people would think about the reality of having a pet. I sometimes think of getting a dog but, to be honest, I am not sure I would want the responsibility which comes with having a pet. I know, it sounds selfish but, better to be honest! :)

And if another person wouldn't accept me unless I had a pet, that's not the kind of person I would gravitate toward; besides, I'm not looking for a relationship. :LOL:
 
Fifty years ago I stopped in a restaurant/bar for a beer abot 7 in the evening. I sat down at the bar, ordered and in a few a guy slides onto the stool beside me and we started chit-chating. I asked straight up if he was married and he said no. I said I also was single.
That's how I found out.

Fortunately, his answer was truthful, or I assume so.

If he's single, I'll suggest my friend and he get together on Halloween. They can wear costumes and go for a walk downtown. That way I can dress up and he won't know who I am. That might be fun.

Speaking from within my personal thoughts only, I'd be very leery about starting off a relationship with deception. I love fun... but making someone think I'm someone else seems a big risk if the guy doesn't share those sentiments or the definition of fun.
