Girls, Why is the girl im talking with hiding she has a boyfriend?

[Ddt889]

Okay ladies I have a serious question. I am currently talking with this girl. We have been taking for about a week now and I’ve caught onto the fact she has a boyfriend. A little background she’s 23 I’m 26, she’s very active on social media always posting photos, flirts with dudes in the comments including mine and has a lot of young wealthy guys following her including me (I know saying that sounds very cocky and pompous but I’m trying to paint a picture for you all) I picked up on the fact she has a boyfriend when I noticed her highlights from a recent vacation (over Christmas) had this dudes hands in a few of the pictures. It was a very Recent trip yet she buried the highlight at the back of her profile. She doesn’t post any pictures of him or stories with him but she will post the gifts he got her. I figured out who he is and he posts stories with her on Occasion. My question is why is she hiding him? Is it she wants to appear single so eligible guys still shoot their shot and so she can shop around for the best guy.

It could be that the guy doesn't want to have his face posted all over social media. Maybe he's the one who wants to keep his single guy image.

Tons of guys refuse to be tagged or posted if they are not sure if she is 'the one' or someone serious enough to show their parents or serious in general.

I don't know how long they've been dating, but if they are newish or not super serious, this is often why.

Typically girls love posting their boyfriends because it makes them look more desirable (because getting pda on social media is viewed as a sign of their relationship strength)

She enjoys the attention she gets. The guy she is with might want to keep their relationship discreet too. So it's hard to tell. If she blatantly flirts with many guys while having a boyfriend then she might be doing this to get his attention or be playing him.

I was 23 once.. She's looking for attention, nothing serious. When I was 23, we only had MySpace though lol! I member posting pics on there, sexy, and wanting to c wut guys would think.. I wasn't looking for a b/f, I just needed reassurance. I think this girl is in the same situation.

[Ddt889]

The thought of this crossed my mind but that leads me to believe her current boyfriend isn’t making her feel secure Or giving her enough attention and validation.

[TransAm85]

You are probably right, but then again, you are both young yet.. Long term relationships don't always succeed until you get a little older. If she is overly aggressive w/attention seeking though, it could be other things besides her b/f. I grew up w/o a father so that was another reason I sought out a lot of attention from guys. There's always more to the story lol

[Ddt889]

Your point is very valid…. She did mention to me her dad was absent.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

I do not know, she must like the attention?
It’s best to refrain from talking to her if she has a boyfriend. Don’t play into her games.

[Ddt889]

My thought was maybe she’s unhappy in the relationship cus usually when a girl is happy in a relationship she won’t converse or humor others guys i could be wrong

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

That is true. It’s hard to know her reasoning.

Not sure, you shouldn't talk to her if that's the case tho
