I'm starting to get really, really tired of meeting guys who at first seem to be single, but are actually in relationships. Case in point: I was at my office's Christmas party on Friday, and was talking with one of our new hires. He's super nice and cute. I find out later that he's fucking MARRIED and his wife is pregnant. However, he doesn't wear a wedding ring. What. The. Eff.
I've always maintained that there needs to be some sort of visual indicator that a guy is single or taken. Like those Stoplight Parties that were popular in college, people need to start making it blatantly obvious if they're available or not.
If you're in a committed relationship (whether it be marriage, had the DTR-talk-agreement, whatever), you need to be branded appropriately. Wedding ring, nametag, blinking red light on your crotch, whatever -- there needs to be some sort of visible sign that you're unavailable. It pisses me off to no end to meet a perfectly nice guy, only to find out half an hour later that he has a girlfriend. That's half an hour of flirting time that I've just completely wasted on a dude that's not on the market!
I'm not desperate to meet someone rightthissecond, but I hate inefficiency. (Not to mention getting my hopes shot down like a North Korean missile and feeling like a homewrecking dumbass.)
People really need to be more open about their relationship status. I once went out with a guy who after kissing me goodnight informed me that he thought I'd get along really well with his GIRLFRIEND.
