Bottom line: Why in a hotel room? Privacy can be found in other places as well. And what is the definition of privacy here? Does the guy want to be in a place where there are NO WITNESSES around? Is that the type of privacy he wants? If so......I would be very wary.
One can have a private discussion in a booth at a restaurant or cafe or even sitting on a bench in the mall. Most people in a public setting mind their own business and are not interested in hearing the conversation taking place between two people. Generally, people will give you** privacy** in a public setting and leave two people well alone.
And if a guy wants to be somewhere where there are no witnesses....that's fishy. Other means of having a private discussion include use of telephone, email, etc.
email, phone can not replace face to face discussions.
and privacy issues usually are not from random strangers, but from ppl of community and khandan seeing you with someone.
