Dear Massi, I met someone on the internet but I am worried about whether he is telling the truth.

We always e-mail each other and have become really close. We have even met up but things haven’t moved on.

But sometimes when I call him he hangs up. He also seems to ‘disappear’ sometimes and says it is work. He also tends to call me and I very rarely call him. I don’t want to believe he is married but I have become really suspicious.

I have asked my friends and they say I should find someone else. But it not always that easy.

We met on a religious matrimonial website and I was obviously looking for a potential marriage partner. I have strong feelings for him because we have connected. How can I find out if he is married? or am I just being paranoid?.

Massy says,Meeting people on the internet although popular always has its pitfalls.

It is quite easy to paint a different picture of yourself via e-mails and phonecalls.

By simply writing in to me it seems you are already in two minds about what this person might be like.

If you are not entirely sure then something obviously is not right.

But then again there may be simple explanations for his ‘vagueness’.

Try being a little more direct when you are talking to him. And ask him specifics about times, dates and events in his life.

Or ask to meet his sisters or other female relatives of his. I don’t think you are being paranoid just protecting yourself. Maybe you should try to talk to people who may know him. But then again, I am sure he has not even introduced you to his friends!

I know you have feelings for him but if he is lying to you about his life then is he really good enough to marry?
