Reading too much into it?

MyBrownEyedBoy wrote: Hi, all, so Aaron told me the other day he's been blogging his trial on his MySpace page and told me to check it out if I wanted. So, I did. As I suspected, his page is totally Indianapolis Colts oriented. Kind of funny, but here's the one thing that bugs me. You know how you can say if you're married, single, in a relationship, looking, etc. Well, his page says he's "in a relationship". Not married and I KNOW that's an option. There are also tons of girls in his friend list, I didn't look too hard, but most seem like they are either married or fairly serious. Am I reading too much into the fact that he isn't listing himself as married? Kind of freaked out about that.

Twelve Volt Man replied: Without speaking to him about it, I wouldn't fret too much. Perhaps he just accidentally clicked on the wrong option, and hasn't realized it. I know sometimes when I attempt to click on a list of things, I'll inadvertantly hit the wrong one. As far as the women on his friends list, I'd also not worry too much. It's like us men coming here... we're vastly outnumbered and surrounded by women, but it doesn't mean anything. If a guy has a MySpace page, he's NOT going to have many other guys listed as friends on it. Guys just don't do that kind of thing. I'm not very familiar with MySpace, but I can't imagine too many guys asking another guy to be friends.

Twelve Volt Man replied: I'll add that you should be grateful that he DOESN'T have a bunch of guys listed on his MySpace page. That would be a very good indicator that he's playing for the opposite team, if you know what I mean!

Crystalina replied: I'm not sure I would worry too much either. Maybe he just added them because they requested him. Alot of those hoochies do that and if you go to their page they have like 300+ friends. It's just a popularity thing for them. Now if you see one of the hoochies only has about 10 friends and your guy is one of them then I would dig a little deeper.

msoulz replied: I don't think he would have told you about it if you had anything to worry about, kwim?

Mommy2Isabella replied: I agree with Mary, I doubt he would tell you to check out his page if it was something for you to worry about !

Ditto but personally I think it would kind of bug me

Calimama replied: Maybe he didn't read all the options. Ask him, I'm sure there is a simple explanation.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I would say just ask him. Here's a funny story about that: My SIL has been with her BF for over 10 years, they live together, etc....but when he created a MySpace, he listed himself as single - probably just because that's the default and he didn't change it. SIL got mad but refused to ask him why, so she changed her listing to single too!

Crystalina replied:
What we have here is failure to communicate.

lovemy2 replied: I agree - he probably saw "in a relationship" first and didn't look any further - besides like the others said why would he tell you to go there if he didn't want you to see something....but I would still ask.....cause that is just me....I am a kind of in your face type of person if I think you aren't being honest

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Thanks, guys. I asked, his explanation was really a very good one. He said that with all the publicity this trial is getting, he didn't want any psychos to find his page and thereby find out he's married with a child. I completely believe him and feel kind of oddly touched that he thought of that.

BTW, Jay, most women wouldn't have a problem with that listing, but Aaron and I have a certain "history"

HuskerMom replied: That's a good explanation (probably pretty smart). I was just thinking that he wouldn't have asked you to look at it if he was trying to hide something.

Our Lil' Family replied: That is very sweet and considerate, in a strange way! I'm sure you feel much better having asked him!
