So here's this fellow who told me that he recently hooked up with an old flame. They talked about the possibility of marriage, but he remains non-committal, still letting her believe that she's his girlfriend. They talk off and on because she lives in a different city.
This man tells me that she's willing to sell her apartment and go into business with him.
Now he says he doesn't love her, but would want a relationship with her because otherwise he can't set up the business.
Meanwhile, he's out looking for something "better." He's looking for a woman that he can really fall in love with.
Methinks he's probably telling the same sop story to several women, trying to get each one to think she's "the one" for whom he'd leave the "business opportunity." At the same time, there's this girlfriend who has no clue what he's up to.
He went so far as to tell me that he'd dump her in a heart beat if he finds someone else, but until such time, he will not tell her what he's up to.
In my book, that's the textbook player m.o.
So here's the question:
While a person is unmarried, is it right to play the field?
Is he right or wrong to do what he's doing?
Should he tell the girlfriend? If he does, she'll dump him and he'll be alone. If she never knows, she won't be the wiser and it won't matter.
I actually think this happens a lot on the dating scene, so we might as well discuss it. What do you think?[/quot
