How do I avoid this in future?

I keep attracting the wrong blokes, and I've no idea why.

A friend of mine set me up with her boyfriend's friend last week. We were out, so a bit drunk, but we did get on quite well. This was Wednesday. We've been texting a bit since, but not much really. He went to stay with some friends on Sunday night, and then Monday morning started texting me lots and did all day. These weren't just "friends" messages either, things could be read into them. Anyway, today I've not heard from him at all. And came across his facebook profile to see that the girl he'd gone to stay with over the weekend, is now his girlfriend. This is rubbish, because I do feel a bit lied too, but never mind!

Thing is, my last boyfriend, I met when out and things happened, and it turned out he had a girlfriend. That was only one night though, they split up because of it, me and him got together months later.

I don't get why I always attract those in relationships? I could blame it on my behaviour, but the ones more lately, I've actualy been quite good around. Is it just one of those things?

Try asking them "are you involved with anyone?"

If they try to lie you can usually tell.

Ok, if it happens reguarly then yes, you probably are attracting the wrong guys. But generally I advise people to date 2/3 girls if they're looking for a long term relationship. That way they can pick the best, and if any problems come up its not really a problem. So if its a one off, I don't see any issues.
