That's exactly what he's trying to do with her.

He didn't even get with her until a day ago in any way, he just fancied her, that is all.

He's the one that's been acting like he's head over heels and she is rightly suspicious of this. Then he reveals he has a son, and some of you are acting like she's this terrible person for asking about the status of his relationship with the mother rather than gushing over how cute the son is when she's clearly been taken aback by the revelation.

He is under no obligation to tell her all of his business until he knows his feelings are reciprocated

We just disagree on what his obligations are then. He ought to make sure she doesn't develop feelings for him without knowing all the things that could complicate matters down the line, especially when there's already compatibility issues.

It isn't phoney, it's polite and warm to say to a parent that their child is cute, or make some kind of positive comment. THAT'S what mature grown ups do when someone proudly shows you a picture of their child.

He didn't proudly show it. He hid it from the girl he is pursuing and she forced him to have to reveal it by being suspicious of the fact he was hiding photos. Her immediate reaction was one of shock and the first question she thought to ask was about his relationship with the mother. Now because she didn't gush over how cute the child he tried to hide from her was (in the few seconds after she was surprised to find out he had a son anyway), sentimental people who want her to gush over the child now want to make her out to be this cold person for wanting to know where the mother was first and foremost.

You seem to think it's weak to be polite and warm and that Georgina should only care about what SHE wanted to know.

If what she wants to know is important to how their friendship/relationship - which Jackson wants to turn into something more - develops, she has every right to know certain things. And him having a son is about as important a thing to mention to a person you're interested in getting with as it can get.
