Starting a new relationship with a man you get on with is a great feeling isn't it? You're always looking forward to the next time you can be together. Your heart starts to race every time you think about him and you get butterflies in the stomach when he calls you on the phone. But how do you know that he's telling you the truth and not just stringing you along for the ride? How do you know that he isn't married already?

You won't be able to make the most of your new relationship, or any relationship for that matter, until you find out the truth about him and feel that you can place your trust in him. So what do you do if you think he might be lying to you? Here are the two steps that you should take to make sure that he isn't married already and allow you to have a long and rewarding relationship.

Here is a list of 10 signs that might indicate that your boyfriend isn't being honest with you. Study them and remember to look out for them whenever you're with him or talking to him.

1. Does he sometimes end your Internet chat unexpectedly? Did his wife walk in on him at that point?

2. Is he reluctant to give you his home phone number? Perhaps his wife might answer it

3. He doesn't seem keen to have you visit him at his place.

4. A wedding ring or a light band on his finger where there is no tan - what a giveaway.

5. Women's intuition can be scary sometimes. If you get a feeling that something isn't right then it probably isn't

6. He isn't always consistent with what he tells you. Did he tell you something different last week?

7. Asking him outright if he's married makes him visibly uncomfortable - Only try this once.

8. You get the feeling that there is something he isn't telling you.

9. You have trouble finding times when he's available to meet you. What is he doing on all these occasions?

10. You get the feeling that he's keeping you away from certain places - Is that where his wife might be?

If you spot any of the signs in the above list then either he is married or he's planning a big birthday party for you and he has had to tell you a few white lies to keep you from guessing. There are probably a whole lot of other good reasons why he might have lied to you so it doesn't necessarily mean that he's married. Don't jump to conclusions yet - You could ruin a beautiful thing if you're wrong.

He may or may not be married. He may or may not have a criminal record or is a sex offender. He might have arrest warrants or been declared bankrupt. This is just a selection of the things your boyfriend might be trying to keep from you and I think that you ought to know about them don't you?

Find out the answers to these questions and more by doing a background check on him. It's easy to do online and the results could be worth gold whatever you find or don't find.
