I can't possibly say wether he is married or not. It does sound fishy but I was in the same situation. The only phone I had belonged to my employer and I also couldn't text. I was trying to save money wherever I could so I would use that as my personal phone. Don't judge someone so quickly. You don't know their situation. I would still be cautious though.

Hidding something, I would avoid at all cost

That’s weird. I’d probably stay far away!

Sketchy

Red flags all over the place. In this day and age there is no reason why he can't have a personal cellphone, even if it's a cheap prepaid job he gets at the dollar store. He's probably got one just like you in every town.

Sounds dodgy to me

No idea if he's married or not.

I do have a company cell that is not to be used for texting outside of contacts in our enterprise contact list.
The idea is to prevent access to our phones from outside.

If you want to find out if someone is married, find out the county they are in and go to the Clerk of Courts and do a search under their name. See if you can find a marriage certificate. You may also have to do the same under the state. If they are married you can find out.

Married

He's hitched.

Something seems out of place, most people with employer phones have their own too. Most plans now a days have unlimited calls & texts, so why would company care.

He's married.

He definitely is married. I once met a guy who gave me a lame excuse of why I shouldn't call or text him. I later found out he was married.

Any guy who gives an excuse for why they can’t take part in something basic like giving a number means he has something to hide. Maybe they wait to see if you will act without doing anything suspicious yourself, but if he’s going off on an entire story about a lowly cell phone that is supposedly not even his... I mean marriage may seem a bit far fetched, but it’s definitely something.

I've had company phones in the past. If it was the only one I had, it was only because I had unrestricted access with it. Otherwise, I'd always keep 2 phones, or use one with dual SIM's. Dude is probably married. At the least, he's bad news.

warning Will Robinson.

Sounds sketchy. Even if he's not married, he's clearly hiding something. Did you get his full name? I usually Google the hell out of people. I also check the MN court system to see what, if any, records he has. If there is anything it's usually just divorce or speeding tickets. BUT, I did find one guy had multiple assault charges. Another guy with a a OFP against him.....but sometimes it's good to find out their side of the story too. That guy had a crazy ex wife who called the police on him without merit. It's also good if they have Facebook so you can see if you have any mutual friends to ask if they're psycho or not.

I've had guys get pissed about that but hey, it's not like the olden days where friends set you up with someone they knew. I'm not going to just go out with some random stranger without finding out as much about them as I can first. I fully expect them to do the same with me.

This guy being married could be the least of your problems. He ran 3-4 red flags up the pole during your first conversation, the biggest one after all the excuses was not offering you his number after you gave him yours. Please proceed with caution and pay attention to your guts.

Geez, it could even be worse than being just married...he could be up to something flat out criminal. Take care in whatever choice you make in the end.

Married, or a Russian spy that works for Facebook.

Shady at best.

Let's turn this around: Maybe he just watched "fatal attraction."

Given the craziness of today, I am more reticent to even have any conversation with strange women, for fear of being accused of harassment just for smiling, and saying, "Hello."

"What if she decides i am "the one," and will not stop calling...."

I am not giving my number to strange women who just coincidently are in some of the same places that i go. That's called "pre-stalking."

This is why i have disposable email addresses. I use each one for specific purposes.

What circumstances possessed you to agree to give him your number? Seriously, next time he is in town. Really. Not a good idea!
