It's a little different when you live with somebody. For example, if I am going out, I'll let my boyfriend know, because he sees me leave, and if I don't come back when I say, he'd worry. However, if we were still living apart, and one of my guy friends called and was like "Hey, I'm going to Chilis, wanna meet me there?" I wouldn't call my boyfriend, because he doesn't need to know. You can't assume just because it isn't somebody you know it's cheating. What if it was a coworker on a lunch break or something?

...that's kind of creepy. No offense and all. Is it really necessary for people going out to know what their SO is doing 24/7, honestly?

Spouse, yes. GF/BF, no.

well even when we were dating we told each other where we were... We talked on the phone every chance we got and if not we were texting... If he was busy with his friends i wouldnt bug him and vice versa, but he would tell me where hes at... Im sorry but unless its a new relationship... I dont see why they don't have the right to know? If you're in a relationship, youre committed, not just looking around and having fun, if so, you should be single.

Right on. I agree.

Going out to dinner with a friend has nothing to do with a lack of commitment. My boyfriend doesn't even have a cell phone, so I could never expect him to call me 24/7. I do tend to know what's going on, because yeah, we do talk, but I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch if he went out to dinner and didn't tell me. Chances are he'd tell me about it after the fact if I'd ask him what he'd been up to. It's called trust. Just because we can now be contact 24/7 via cell phones does not mean we can't trust our SOs.
