Kristen's boyfriend really liked her. He also really liked his live-in girlfriend. And that, as you might imagine, lead to some problems.

"I met a guy on an online dating site," explains Kristen. "He was really nice and funny. But he liked to text message a lot rather than call. He said it was because he could do it more easily while working. He came over to my house a lot, but also complained about the long drive. I told him I'd be glad to go to his house, since I wasn't working and didn't have to be up early in the morning. He said it was too "messy." He had younger kids who spent alternate weekends with him and he said he needed a few weeks to get things cleaned up."

"He seemed very attentive. He did things like call me and sing and play his guitar to me over the phone. One night he came over for dinner and stopped along the highway to pick flowers to bring to me."

One night he invited me over while his kids were sleeping. He told me he and his ex had an agreement that there would be "no hanky panky" in the house while the kids were there. So we spent a few hours out in his shed with a sleeping bag and candles."

"One evening while we were out he told me about a friend of his who was recently jailed. He was worried about the person. He said the person was supposed to become his roommate to help him pay his mortgage. I told him he didn't need a roommate like that with his young kids at home. He said he didn't know the entire story but thought the person could end up going to prison.

"My birthday was coming up and we made plans to spend the evening with some friends of mine. My birthday was Saturday and on Friday I still hadn't heard from him to confirm our plans, so I called him. I asked him about his day and we were chatting. Then the phone went dead. I assumed he lost the connection on his cell phone. A few minutes later he called me back, but there was a big commotion in the background. I said, 'What's that?' He said, 'That's my live-in girlfriend calling me a lying sack of sh*t.' I said 'You're kidding me?'"

"Several weeks later he texted me to tell me his live-in girlfriend was going to prison for two years. She was a drug addict who had quit seeing her parole officer. He said he liked me, but that she was special -- 'burned brightly' was the way he put it. He told her he was going to wait for her. Her sentence was two years."

Lesson: If he won't let you in his house, he's probably got something -- like a significant other -- he's hiding.
