As Smooth once sang, Undercover Lover Secret Affair etc etc.
Now how am I supposed to react when a guy I am seeing wants to keep it on the downlow, as highlighted in another R&B classic. This is something I have asked my friends about as the guy I have been seeing for a while, who previously wouldn’t go down now appears to be concerned about my virtue and reputation.
For the purpose of this forum I am going to call him Peter, like the disciple that denied all knowledge, as on a number of occasions when asked if anything was going on between us denied. Now I have to say not banging my own trumpet that I am not an unattractive female, and I did ask him if I was an embarrassment to be seen in public with. His response was that “Nah, its not like you are a vampire girl”. Translated into English this means that he wouldn’t mind being seen with me in daylight. In fact he has pointed out on a number of occasions that I seem to :
- Know a lot of guys
- Attract a lot of attention
Now I need to know how to progress with this. How long is this undercover nonsense supposed to last.?
What does it mean exactly? Can he flirt with other girls in front of me?
I am not saying we need to get married, but why is it always the guy who insists on such nonsense. Even now I have mentioned that his friend asked about us to one of my best friends and he has taken the decision that he will act as if he doesn’t know me like that.
I am trying not to take baggage from my previous relationship, but I don’t buy the line that we need to keep it quiet as we have come out of relationships. Maybe I have idiot on my forehead, but I am trying to hear what he is and isn’t saying. He is now trying to flip it that I am trying to broadcast our thing which is not the case, but if a mutual friend asks what’s going on you’d say wouldn’t you.
