Would you assume a guy/girl is taken, if you find old photos from years ago?

Me and this guy seem to be interested each other. But no actual chances to be too personal yet

This isn't on the guy's personal social media. Just found some pictures from an event in 2023 where he's clearly with his girlfriend. If the girl in a tight dress hugging him isn't, I must be blind. And this year, one where he has his hands on the shoulder of a different girl (this one less obvious because hand on a shoulder is relatively normal).

It's leading me to assume that he's not available. Or that he seems to be a player/or just has tons of choices. I know, I can just directly ask him. But I'd rather not get involved as early as possible

Would anyone else just assume that the other person is taken and unavailable?
