A female United States age 41-50, *idknightanjel writes:

I am curious as to why a guy I was talking to would suddenly delete all his social media accounts without good explanation. His shabby excuse was because he just didn't feel like dealing with it. Yet prior this he was constantly on facebook and other social forums,always posting,commenting, etc.,He even had many many fb friends,mostly scantily clad women until he started friending every single one of my friends without telling me. The fact that he deleted all his social accts wouldn't bother me so much but he still had his Google plus and when I tagged him he responded in a matter of minutes.The to test my suspicions I posted something on fb addressing him,not by name,and he responded to that one in a matter of mere seconds using a suppossed cousins acct. which was fairly generic with hardly any pics and no personal info.he did admit it was new acct.so if he's so tired of social media why was he still following me,answering posts etc?

I would run from this guy as fast as I could. He has obviously been playing the field online while involved with someone else. I'd bet he got caught and tried to cover his tracks.

A female reader, like I see it United States +, writes (5 September 2015):

like I see it agony auntIt's anyone's guess why he would delete his profiles.

Perhaps he already has a partner and she's gotten suspicious of him.

Perhaps he's trying to keep his options open and not appear publicly interested in any particular woman, i.e. you, but knows you'll contact him on social media if he has profiles up and doesn't want the other fish in the sea to think he's got something going with you.

Hard to say, but something about it seems shady to me. One doesn't simply kick a social media habit overnight - and clearly he hasn't, since he's still using other sites in the meantime! And the "cousin's account" story is a little farfetched to say the least. A grown man deletes his own (free) social media account, only to lurk Facebook with a relative's new free social media account when he could easily have made his own new free account? Sounds fishy to me.

Trust your instincts and think twice about getting involved with this guy.

Best wishes!

Kingu agony auntI am not saying anything for certain, I may be completely off the mark but I think he has a girlfriend at home who stumbled upon his facebook page and now he is in big trouble and deleted everything to cover his tracks.

MSA agony auntWhy do you care?.... Why are you 'testing him?

Are you interested in this guy? Is he an ex?

People do what ever they want. I used to be very active on Facebook... then I met my current boyfriend and he uses another app.. I stopped going to Facebook and been on the new app with him. Sometimes I still check Facebook, but don't feel the need to post anything there anymore as I feel my 'new world' is somewhere else with my boyfriend.

People disappear and re-appear in social media for different reasons.. who cares. They do as they wish and you do as you wish. No need to play detective.
