Meeting Josh's GF is FAR more beneficial in getting to the truth over watching if Josh or the wife linger in eye contact for two seconds longer than it seems normal. Besides, this is also a good test. If for any reason OP's told that the GF isn't available, that adds to the pile. If he does...

Ask to meet Josh's girlfriend instead. Have a nice chat with her about this. See what she has to say when you tell her.

The women are flaking on you because you're overfrickinwhelming them. From what I've read on your thread, you text/call way too much and way too soon. Try pulling back. Wait a few days before you call them. Let them savor anticipating you contacting them. Be more of a rare scarce diamond than a...

As soon as I read that, I knew it was dead in the water. I did read the rest of your post, but there's no reason to get into any of it, because it really doesn't matter. It's just a bunch of bull excuses and stalls and trying to throw you a curve while trying not to hurt your feelings and/or...

However, if infidelity has occurred, then the relationship is typically beyond repair by the time that happens. Infidelity doesn't kill the relationship, that's just a symptom of the relationship having died. I've read numerous accounts over years where an unfaithful partner attempts...

Problem with that is two fold. First, those guys may not have been aware that their relationships were in trouble, let alone that their women were cheating on them, so any advice they give may be ineffective. "Sure, we have our ups and downs, like any other relationship", he says, "but overall...

Experience and instinct are good to have. This woman is exhitibng CLASSIC signs of infidelity. She may or may not be cheating (but time will tell), but the signs are sure there, so let's not fault Str8tUp for recognizing them, as others have, based on our own personal experiences and that of...

My opinion is that many guys need to run a tighter ship. This situation of not knowing when you'll be free until practically the last minute doesn't lend itself well to not being flaked on. Why don't you do this: Email her now with a definite time/date to meet, making it for some time you...

"I apologize for my daughter's behavior" the mom says. She ought to add "I also apologize for the botched way I raised her". I was at a wedding a few years ago and the flower girl was probably about 6 or 7, and her mom and dad are parading her around and said, "tell people what you are..." and...

My spidey sense is tingling. If you know you're going to be in town on a certain date, why didn't you arrange ahead to meet her via email? Likewise on her part: this sounds vague on her part, and may be another flake coming your way. The advice from Colossus and F'd is dead on. I'd add this...

The glitches she sees? This is a clue: "she told me that I am not to refer to anyone as a goddamn *******, that I am too classy of a gentleman" - which suggests to me that she's really wishing that you WERE a 'classy gentleman', despite your evident behavior to the contrary. Maybe more...

Why am I not married??? Because... The happiest marriages end in death - and I'm too young to die!

Now I get that she was initially attracted to the chivalry, but you've done a few things that spoiled her hope that you're really that rarity women want: a true gent. So now I re-think that her wanting you to be exclusive but not want a relationship is her wanting to hold onto you, just in case...

Her request for a nice dinner date and that he pick her up and such is NOT a demand that he spend $$$ on her. It will cost some money to do that, yes, though it need not be a lavish amount, but in any event that's NOT what her request is really about. I get that it's quite the opposite because...

Traveler, you see all this great wisdom? It's because we've all been through it brother, and we know this stuff. The sad painful truth is that you do know what to think, but you'd rather not, because it's devastating to accept. This is known as "Denial". Did I not say she would offer up...

Translation: "I would like the man to act like a gentleman, be chivalrous, and I would appreciate a traditional type somewhat romantic date now and then." There's nothing wrong with that request. BUT those dates are reserved for women that are pretty much Ms. Right. It's like a reward for the...

Mike, when you break it down, I see some slippery areas that can account for things going awry. So you called her two days after you met her, which is predictable for many guys to do, and expected her to call you back? You can't leave the ball in their court, not that early in the game. But...

Yes, so why put that in peril by making her feel slighted if you talk to her about it in any manner? Who knows if she's not beyond making your job suck because she gets ticked off at you? Just keep smiling but evading, she'll give up eventually. All great and ethical reasons, to which I add...

Right... if you confront her, she'll know you suspect and she'll be more careful covering her tracks. Plus, she'll only deny or tell you you're imagining things and give you bogus answers. "I had to call Josh because he's my partner in the class project and I forgot to get the notes blah blah"...

I think what it proves is that people don't like obnoxious teenagers and are willing to reprimand them.
