Is he hiding something?

Met this guy at work we've been speaking and getting on well. Just feel like they are hiding something. Like maybe having a partner?
They used to have all social media but said they got rid of it all. Don't know why. We have been texting all throughout the day today. I work part time so weren't at work today. All was fine and then the last message around 7ish was very short and blunt with nothing to reply to. Do you think they have a partner? Hiding something? Or am I looking into it too much?

Ask someone else at work if they know.

He's new so no one really knows him

If you feel uncomfortable then there's probably a reason for that. Gut instinct should be paid attention to.

chicken true. Not sure why you would delete all of your social media. Especially fb most people have it even if they don't use it often. How would I ask him if he has a partner without being too blunt?

You need to ask him. The days of men having to do all the pursuing have long gone since Tinder came along.

Just ask him & good luck

Ime people come off social media, or are on/off/but mostly off it, because they are being dodgy and either have something to hide or are keeping their options open.
Another tactic is to block a specific person on everything then tell that person that they aren't on SM anymore.
On the other hand, lots of people just genuinely can't be doing with it anymore and aren't up to anything.

I don't use Facebook or Twitter or Instagram ... it's not unusual to find people who do not use these things ..

I got off all social media. I just hate it. It makes me angry, people are rotten when anonymous, the drama is too much to handle, everything is so bloody political, and I really don't like the way fb has been trying to force users to use ID and things like that.

If you're interested in him, and you've got a decent rapport, just ask him why.

That said, your gut instinct is there for a reason!

Easy... Come Monday morning just ask him what he did at the weekend. He may mention a partner or do "we speak" which indicates a partner. I.e. "we went shopping".
Obviously he may not do this if he's trying to hide a partner.....
