[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some women who "have never been in a relationship" actually have been in relationships with men they keep secret. The handyman who does a lot more than painting and plumbing.  The married professor who met her for coffee. [b]The dumb jock who would be a catch to some but seems too dumb to introduce to friends. [/b] The boss who showed a different side of his personality during a business trip. The neighbor who flirted in the laundry room. The guy from out of town who went on a group hiking trip.[/quote]

You have this all wrong -- she isn't afraid to introduce the "dumb jock" to her friends, he refuses to introduce her to his.[/quote]

I've dated many men I'd never introduce to my friends. One guy I was involved with on and off for twenty years. And I considered myself single the whole time. 
All relationships are different.  [/quote]

I think this is much more common than most people realize.  A woman I dated on and off had a guy like this. She meets new men and doesn't tell them about him, but I figured it out.  [/quote]

I think we’ve all been there with “dates” we don’t introduce to family and friends.[/quote]

It’s not just dates though. I’ve been in all kinds of relationships on and off for thirty years and I’m sure many people think I’ve never been in one.

Part of it is other people’s presumptuousness about how much they know about me. I remember running into an old friend and stopping to chat, and she asked me where I was headed. I mentioned that I was meeting my boyfriend and she seemed shocked and almost offended that she didn’t know I was seeing someone. But why would she? I hadn’t seen her or spoken to her in years, and while I was connected to her on social media at the time (I no longer use it), I didn’t share my relationship status. Off the top of my head I can recall a few instances like this.

It’s not like I’m hiding anything, but why on earth would everyone know all about my love/sex life? We’re not in high school or living in a sorority house. We’re adults with our own homes and our own busy lives. [/quote]
