However, several people have asked me why he travelled 30 miles to a singles night. I haven't been bothered by it before, but because of the suspicious nature of people and it not being the first time I have been asked, I am beginning to wonder why he did travel all that distance when there would have been singles nights far closer. I have no idea how to answer people who ask this as I am sure this will come up again. People seem to be suggesting there is something untoward about travelling that distance. I must admit it has made me curious to know, but I don't know how to bring up the subject with him without him feeling like I am checking up on him. In fact, I found at the singles nights that most of the guys did travel a long way to be there. Reply to this Question Share |
Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

Like the others have said - ask him!

It may just be the fear of bumping into people he knows and then them knowing he goes to singles meetings.

in simpler terms, if someone truly cares for you and you have a genuine connection nothing you could say or feel should make problems for you
