Your girlfriend's behavior does sound suspicious. As usual my first advice to you would be to confront her directly. Just come out and ask her and see what she has to say.

Try and find a way into her dorm room or apartment. Search her trash and underwear drawers for letters, used A H&V A condoms, or male clothing (assuming that she's cheating with a guy and not a girl, of course). Any such items found in her bedroom or bathroom is a pretty clear indication that she's cheating. JSSIA- Another source for evidence of her guilt would be to witness it first hand. The next time she cancels a date and claims that she'll still be at home, drive by her home to see if she's there. You can always / get a hold of a pair of binoculars and perhaps use them to peer through her window. Do this at night when there'll be lights on in the house. You should easily be able to discern whether or not she's alone. If you stay long enough, you might even catch the person your girlfriend is cheating on you with and confront him (or her) about it. Of course, if she's seeing someone seriously, chances arc this person will be staying the entire night. Be careful about being caught in the daytime. If you are unable to catch her doing something naughty here at her home at Wright State, then follow her home next time she goes to Celina. You could maybe borrow a car from one of your friends that she won't recognize. Maybe borrow a car from a friend who's a girl and ask that girl to go with you. This way. if you get caught spying on your girlfriend you can always pretend that you were cheating on - her. This will save you the embarrassment of looking desperate. a: Again, be careful about being caught.
