A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi. Got a question. There's this guy Im getting closer to at uni. We've been chatting a lot lately and we're going out for food and stuff at the weekend. He added me on facebook ages ago, we've know eachother for months, but it's only the last month that we've started really flirting with eachother and chatting lots. Everything is going really well. Scarily well!! :) As you do when you get interested in someone you have a look at their facebook and check out their photos, and whilst I was having a look I found all these photos of him with this one girl. It is obvious they had some sort of relationship, but the photos of him and her go right up to October this year (and then they stop) and now I'm just curious as to whether or not he's single. He doesnt have his relationship status on facebook. He's never mentioned a girlfriend. But October was only two months ago and from the photos you can see they have gone all over the world together. Admitedly, this is the first time in a long time i've been actually getting close to a guy who hasn't somewhere along the line turned out to be a complete tosser/liar/cheat, so maybe I am looking for the complication here. But my question is, what do I do? I don't want to scare him off by being overly keen esp' when it's all going so well, but I want to know if he is still with this girl or not. If he is still involved with this girl, I want to get out fast as this is exactly how the last boyfriend ended up hurting me and I don't want to go through it again. Any idea how I can approach this situation? We're going out at the weekend.

katatonik agony auntIf you know any of his friends, you could casually ask them about it, but I'm guessing if you did you wouldn't have to ask here? Alternately, when you hang out with this guy, mention that you saw some of his photos on Facebook. "Wow! It looks like you've been all over the world, what was your favorite place?" or something to that effect, and see if he goes into any details. He'll remember those pictures, too, and any guy who is romantically "looking" and interested in you should at that point make a point of explaining that he and the girl in the picture aren't together anymore.
