Okay, so, the title today is “guy not taken.” It’s a bit of a story, a bit of an experiment, and a lot of observation. Let’s dive into it.
I started with this idea, see? About how you can tell if a guy is really single or just playing the field. I mean, it’s the 21st century, dating apps galore, and sometimes it feels like nobody’s really honest. So, I decided to do a little digging, a little real-world observation.
First off, I hit up a few local spots—bars, cafes, you know, the usual haunts. I watched. And I listened. Not in a creepy way, just… observing. What I noticed was that guys who are supposedly “taken” still act single. They might mention a girlfriend or something, but their actions? Totally different.
For instance, there was this one guy, let’s call him “Mr. Maybe-Taken.” He was chatting up every woman in sight. Sure, he dropped a casual “my girlfriend” here and there, but he was also exchanging numbers. Not cool, right?
Then I moved to online stuff. Social media, dating profiles… It’s a goldmine of mixed signals. Guys say they’re in a relationship but still slide into DMs like they’re single. I even saw a few profiles that were straight-up lies. “Single and ready to mingle” when they’re definitely not.
Here’s what I started to pick up on:
- Body language is a big one. If a guy’s constantly scanning the room, making eye contact with everyone, and his body is always angled towards other people, even when he mentions a partner, red flag.
- Conversation topics. Mr. Maybe-Taken would talk about future dates, being available, you name it. But then he’d suddenly remember his “girlfriend.” It was like watching a bad actor.
- Consistency, or the lack of it. These guys would be all over the place. One minute they’re committed, the next they’re planning solo trips or talking about how they “need their space.”
I also talked to some friends, both guys and girls, to get their take. Some of the guys admitted that yeah, they sometimes act single even when they’re not, just to keep their options open. The girls? They were mostly frustrated and confused. It’s like nobody knows the rules anymore.
The Conclusion?
It’s messy. Some guys just don’t take relationships seriously. They want the comfort of having someone but also the thrill of the chase. And in today’s world, it’s easy to juggle both.
But you know what? After all this, I realized it’s not just about figuring out if a guy is taken or not. It’s about being honest with yourself. Do you want someone who plays these games? Do you want to be someone’s “maybe”?
So, that’s my little experiment. I learned a lot, mostly that people are complicated, and sometimes, it’s better to just focus on yourself and find someone who’s as real as you are. No games, no maybes, just real.
