Find Out if a Guy Already Has a Girlfriend

Figuring out whether a guy has a girlfriend without letting him know that's what you're trying to do can be tricky. If a guy is a "player", he wouldn't want to be outsmarted by his own game. Some guys are pretty astute at keeping illicit affairs secret, while others find pleasure in bragging about their game. You wouldn't want to get entangled with a person whose "game" cruel, and he is obviously manipulative and conceited. Knowing if a guy already has a girlfriend, or several girlfriends, is definitely one of the first things you must be certain of before entering into a new relationship.

It's also obviously something you may want to do before getting seriously involved with anyone. After all, you wouldn't want to be the third wheel or the spare tire so-to-speak. No woman would ever want to share her man with another let alone become romantically involved with a guy that is already taken - that would be awkward, not to mention depressing and pathetic.

Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to check to see if a guy has a girlfriend or not before allowing him further into your life.

Find Out if a Guy Already Has a Girlfriend

Look Him Up Online

If there is one thing beneficial about the modern virtual framework, that would be the speedy and easy way of doing things and finding people. Searching a guy online definitely is step one of the master plan. One of the first and most direct things you can do to see whether a guy has a girlfriend is just by putting his name into Google or other search engines and see what comes up. All of the information you need will be lined up in a roster of search results depending on the specific keywords used. You can also check social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter for information about him and his whereabouts and social connections.

Be careful about some sites though that might inform people you're searching for them. So if you're logged in at that time, you must be wary of these things if you don't want him to discover that you are playing detective to get information regarding his personal matters. Social media sites like Facebook will often provide the social status of members and you can check right then and there to see if it says "Single", "In a Relationship", "It's Complicated", or "Married"; among others. If Facebook indicated that he is "Single" then that is a good sign that he may not really have a girlfriend and is free to become involved with anyone. However, this does not guarantee he is single. There are some privacy options on social media sites that can be customized which allow certain posts or information to be kept hidden from some people. The truth is - people lie.

Observe How He Relates To Girls

Watch carefully how he interacts with other girls. For example, is he often flirty with girls in general? Do girls flirt with him?

1
Girls flirt with him
.
If a girl approaches him and obviously toys with him, does he get awkward and uncomfortable, or does he enjoy the attention? If he welcomes the gesture, and gets involved with the whole flirting game, he doesn't think much of you, and it's "all about him". There is a reason women flirt with certain men, and it isn't because they are so good looking. It's because they are open to it, and women know that either by past experience with this man, or instinct. When a girl flirts with a man, there should be a huge difference between the reaction of a man who is single, and a man who is supposedly with a man. A man who is in a relationship but still puffs up and flirts back, isn't worth your time. This guy will hop into bed with another women just to boost his ego.
