I have a friend, and she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is known as someone who doesn't post much about his personal life. Sometimes, my friend feels like he is somehow hiding her, since he is kind of popular in our university. And also, one time, one of our classmates asked him if they were already in a relationship, yet he just smiled and didn't answer. She felt off about it. But when he opened it up to her bf, he just said, he is not hiding her. He said that sometimes not answering questions is better when someone is asking a lot about his personal life. Besides, they can already see that there is something between them, so why bother asking... I actually don't know if he's right or just making excuses. What do you think?

Some guys are just like that. No matter how they feel or think about someone else, they don't want to talk about it. Talking about feelings is too hard for them. They LIKE their privacy. If she's trying to change him, tell her to find somebody else because it's extremely unlikely that he'll ever change.

If he is secretive in every matter, then I think she shouldn’t worry about him being subdued about his relationship with her. However, if he’s open about everything else BUT her, then there is a problem. Hopefully, he’s just a private person who wants to keep his business on the down low.

I kinda see both sides. He might just be private and not like talking about his personal life, but I also understand why your friend feels off about it. If it keeps bothering her though, her feelings are still valid.

Aren't you and your friend just overthinking something that could simply be part of his personality?? Some people are just naturally private and don’t feel the need to explain their relationships to everyone. Not every quiet response means someone is hiding something-sometimes it really is just that simple.

That he is being honest and one should respect his honesty.

maybe he is a private person or doesn't want to jinx his realtionship but i feel he should be clear and admit he is seeing someone.

If you're somewhat of a private person, you might dodge questions from nosy people. It's no business of the other person for starters, and not answering might discourage him from more probing.
