"Dear Single John, This is a really awkward and kind of embarrassing thing to admit, but I recently hooked up with this guy and it turns out he might be married. Google told me. He didn&amp;#x27;t have a ring on when we hooked up (obviously, or it wouldn&amp;#x27;t have happened), but I&amp;#x27;ve seen pictures of him with it on AFTER that day. He&amp;#x27;s traveling the country right now, but he still sometimes calls and texts just to check in. Judgments and name-calling aside, how exactly do I ask him about it? It&amp;#x27;s not just wishful thinking; there&amp;#x27;s potential that he might be divorced by now. I don&amp;#x27;t know how to confront him about it without ruining everything and looking like a stalker. - Search and Destroy Oh what a tangled web we weave when we, well, search the web. Wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t life simpler when we didn&amp;amp;#8217;t have Google, and all we had to go on was instinct, rumors, and the occasional Wanted poster? It&amp;amp;#8217;s an awkward consideration&amp;amp;#8212;what&amp;amp;#8217;s the right time and fashion to ask a hookup if he or she has pledged his or her eternal love to someone else in a state-sanctioned, legally binding ceremony? I think you only need to ask him if you&amp;amp;#8217;re planning on getting together with him again. I mean, other than your own need to know, I can&amp;amp;#8217;t see another reason to find out. As a guy whose job it is to get his name published on things, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve had more than a couple women tell me sheepishly, &amp;amp;#8220;I Googled you,&amp;amp;#8221; and so have many of my friends who live fairly anonymous lives. It&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty standard nowadays. I would just tell him in very casual, almost joking way, &amp;amp;#8220;So&amp;amp;#133;I Googled you, and I know this is gonna sound weird, but it looked like you were wearing a wedding ring in one of the pictures. Are you?&amp;amp;#8221; Simple as that. As you acknowledged, there are a million possibilities: he&amp;amp;#8217;s divorced, widowed, separated, or maybe he&amp;amp;#8217;s just a single guy who has a unique (and dumb) taste for rings that look like wedding bands. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t be embarrassed about Googling. We all do it! Have you ever been surprised when Googling a potential date, boyfriend or hookup?
