Question - (19 July 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 19 July 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

This is sort of a weird question but i dont really know what i should do.. A really nice guy I met a while ago ran into my friend on the weekend and gave her his number to give to me. I have a boyfriend though so i am not going to persue this guy but i also dont want him to think i shut him down (and he is someone who i wil probably see again sometime,so its not like ill never see him again). So im wondering, should i text him and then if he asks me out or somthing explain that i have a boyfriend but he seems like a great guy and if i didnt have a bf i would have for sure liked to get to know him but cant? Or should i just not text him at all...?

4everdreams97 agony auntif you feel like you want to be friends with him even if you do have a boyfriend then you should text him as long as it doesn't turn into something more and you explain that you do have a boyfriend so it won;t be any of that stuff everything should be fine

raiders agony auntYou don't have a relationship with him so it should not matter to you if its awkward or not. Imagine how awkward your boyfriend will feel if he was to find out you were texting some guy. To avoid future problems the best thing to do is ignore this ever happen, and how much respect can this other dude have if he is giving you his number knowing that you have a boyfriend.

raiders agony auntNo don't text nor call him, you are not going to start a relationship with him since you are already in one. Don't create an awkward situation, just keep it like it is, this way you won't be tempted or accused of cheating.
