Again you're making assumptuons. What if no one lied or deceived. It just wasn't mentioned.
Or do you ask every potentially fun buddy "Are you married" or "Is there a pre existing relationship I'm putting at risk?"
You must be fun at parties
I would like to cite the "sufficient reason to suspect" clause from my earlier statement on this matter.
If the "fun buddy" has made comments during conversation or there is sufficient external evidence (wedding ring, picture of family in wallet, calls/text from an obvious spouse etc.) which makes it apparent that this person may not actually be "young, free and single" then I think there is some onus on the other party to check what they are getting into.
If someone were to drop hints during a night out that there were some other reason to not bang them, like constantly itching their nether-regions, making extreme comments like "down with the West!" or being Welsh, then you would maybe make a body swerve on that one. I see this as the same thing - the person may be entwined in some other stuff, steer clear.
EDIT: also I am plenty fun at parties. Once at a party in uni I drank two different kinds of drink in one night!
Crazy times!
