Dating -- Seeing Other People Woes
Find a Conversation

Met a guy at a club couple of weeks ago and we exchanged numbers. Seemingly a nice guy and we have been talking on the phone -- about once a week. Anyway, during our first telephone conversation he asked me if I was dating others. My reply was yes, I am dating others, but not seeing anyone serious. Cool.
Our next telephone conversation (he called me during my lunch hour) I was sitting outside reading a book. He asked me what I was doing and I told him (reading) and his reply was "how come you are not out having lunch with one of your male friends?" My reply was usually I see my male friends for dinner or drinks and/or lunch; but this particular day I was alone. He said cool and the conversation continued.
Another time he called, I was at home chilling and he asked me "how come I didn't have a date?" No response and redirected the conversation.
Mind you, he is calling and we are planning to see each other on Friday (actually our 1st date since meeting 2 weeks ago). We had a date planned the previous weekend but I had to cancel since I had family in town.
Although he says it "how come, etc." he really doesn't elaborate but I was wondering where is all this coming from???
While dating, it is understood the people are seeing others -- why the need to know who and when??
Anyone else experience this? Why is he doing this?

Who knows why (insecurity? ego?) but whatever the reason, that would be a big turnoff for me...maybe even a dealbreaker, if he kept doing it.
