I'll pose a different question: If you claim to only have one phone, would you ever turn it off or allow it to run out of battery?

I try not to let mine run out but it does happen. Plus I'm often in places with no signal, which makes me unreachable.

I have one phone.

I turn it off frequently.

It runs out of battery power now and then. Sometimes twice a week if im busy.

I only have one phone and turn it off in meetings etc. It often runs out of battery too because I forget to charge it.

Would I be wrong in thinking the motive behind the question relates to a response from 'someone' as to why they didn't get in touch/reply to a message/answer a call ?

Because sometimes things like flat batteries, no signal or a need to turn a phone off so happen. Even to fabswingers members.

Shocking. I know.

I often turn mine off when it's charging so it charges quicker as the apps won't be running. Also has been known when in areas of low signal to behave like it's off and go straight to answer phone quickly even with two bars of signal.

It's a smart phone versus phones used just as phones thing. I was just stating my experience of the younger generation permanently having them on (accessible).

Mines on mostly on silent and never let it loose battery (Self employed) but when in company I rarely have my phone in my hand ...one of my bug bares is people at a restaurant or pub or even in your company constantly on the phone.I sometimes wonder how peeps managed before mobiles...oh yes we conversed.

Spot on. I actually don't want to assume the worst which is why my actual OP rephrases a question.

Though to be honest, the title question was asked cos of other things don't necessarily have to add up. I'm just wondering whether this lovely guy is hiding a relationship.

Put mine on flight mode on Wednesday whilst in a meeting. Have yet to switch it back on (this thread just reminded me). No doubt it will be out of charge as well.

So yes to both.

Not sure relationship status really matters. When I was single, I would still ignore my phone when it came to family time or nights out with friends. You're best off asking as opposed to guessing.

Of course status can matter. If it's a Fab phone, your partner doesn't know about it as it's only turned on when you're alone.

Not everyone has a need - or a desire - to have their phone on 24/7

For example, My dad only has his mobile switched on when he isn't at home.

My mum switches hers on even less.

I never turn mine off as used for work

If someone has a iPhone they can tell I read it , if they don't have a iPhone i reply ok

Without the above happening I have not read your message and don't expect me to act on it

As to cheating surname address and 192.com is the best way , or a visit to see the local electoral role .

I can safely deduce the phone is never on (which is why I rang and not text).

He gets sent abroad a great deal but only has a basic phone.

Other little things...

They can all add up to nothing or something.

My problem is that I could quite happily lust after him. I haven't met a guy in ages, with whom that happens.

If he is supposedly sharing look at planning permissions for his address for Hmo status

I don't allow myself to be without my phone for long, not sure whether I count as one of your "younger generation" but it is pretty much permanently attached to me.

However, getting back to what this post is really about, it's not been my experience that married or attached men can't answer the phone after 5:30pm or never speak on the phone or can't send a text, or many of the other "signs" trotted out regularly on these forums.

That said, if you're suspicious then it's probably pointless pursuing it anyway because you've already made your mind up and I doubt he could do anything to convince you otherwise.

I like hotel meets, and I've been single for 10 years.

You need to think whether you want to carry on with someone you don't trust, whether its fair or otherwise.

Red flags

My phone is on 24/7.

Overnight it's on charge so always ready for use the next day.

During the day if I'm online a lot or lots of calls the battery has gone flat in the past.

If I'm I'm the office it's on all the time unless there are sensative documents around, in which case it goes in the safe.

Equally if I'm "on site" the phone will be in the safe while I'm out, so texts, emails and calls go unanswered.

Not sure if that helps.....

It's not about being suspicious or not trusting. It's simply weighing up what the signs could mean and rationalising them (in my favour), he's a kinky fella and I love that

If he is hiding a relationship, then it's thanks for a great night but good luck and goodbye. I'm not going to feel guilty.

I had a marvellous gadget for my birthday, a phone cover that has an iPhone charger built in to it! Handy because I'm a die hard candy crush player and my daughter does a lot of classes so I'm always playing on my phone.

My phone is almost always on silent, so I miss most of the calls. And I'm crap at keeping it charged - with 3G on, it runs out of charge too often as well.

I let mine run out of battery. Or I don't take it out with me sometimes.

If you're suspicious of someone for any reason though you clearly don't trust them. Perhaps best not to pursue it?

This is pretty much still true.

Better to let your battery rundown before charging- extends the battery life.

But this battery lark is a pain- I have to recharge every day + I make a point of having no apps on my phone. Apart from bog standard stuff like browser, messages and email

My phone battery is rubbish but I tend but to have it adjoined to my hand if in company. Ran out of battery the other day when out and I lived.

You can ask him without accusing and take it from there, you'll know.

I said earlier it's not about trust (which means it's not about distrust either).

Anyway I've deleted him. He could still be legit but since he hasn't been in touch, considering we were supposed to be meeting today, and he cancelled our last meet, I've decided not to waste anymore time wondering/analysing/rationalising red flags.
