No, I don't need to help my daughter meet Ben. I already said she has met him before as she stands out in the crowd being 6 feet tall, and she was introduced to him. I was under the assumption (incorrectly?!) that this was a place to ask questions like "Does blah blah have a girlfriend, does anyone know?" I'm pretty sure I saw questions like that asked somewhere here. At the time Ben approached her, he had seen her before in a small Michael Kors (Michael Kors is a line of clothing) ad she had done, he remembered her from it and simply wanted to talk to her. He had no unsavory agenda, he was nothing but a gentleman. She had a boyfriend (who was with her and getting angry) so she left it at that.

She is single now. Apparently Ben is a very nice guy, and she could sense that. Thus I ask the question, does he have a girlfriend, since my daughter is now single.

You ask why I CARE? I care because I love my daughter. I want her to be happy. She likes this guy. If he's single, great. She's coming home for a short time and she is taking me to see Breaking Benjamin. If he is a nice, polite, respectful young man, that is what I want for my daughter. Too many men have just been interested in her for her looks, and I can tell in two seconds if that is the case. She has not gotten any information from the people she thought might know, that's why I had my secretary find a place like this. Isn't it called a groupie forum? Don't places like this tend to have the kind of information I am seeking on behalf of my daughter? The only reason I will be meeting him is to give my approval IN CASE he IS single, and the kids start spending time together. I want to meet all prospective suitors of both of my daughters.

Does this rather long-winded and unnecessary explanation answer all of your twisted questions? And by the way, I am a professional woman in the advertising business, I do not indulge in groupie behavior, nor AM I a groupie like you have implied, simply because my daughter and I have a shared interest in music. For heaven's sake, those kids in the band are my children's ages. Wouldn't that be a little crass and loose of a married woman of a certain age to want to engage in such unbecoming behavior with a young rock band?

You took one innocent post and turned it into something filthy. So does he have a girlfriend, yes or no? That's why I came here. If he has one, my daughter would not pursue even a conversation with him, as that is, of course, disgusting behavior. Do you even have the answer to my question? A yes or no answer is all I require. If you don't know, simply state that. This is not rocket science.
