A female South Africa age , anonymous writes:

My bfriend and I have been going out for almost 6 months and last month he sms me from a different number and pretended that he was someone else and ask if I had a boyf. I said yes. Then he asked if I would go out with him at the weekend if my boyf was not around.

I hesitated but said yes but only as friends. 1 Hour later my bfriend sms me from his own number and told me that he could not trust me.

We had a big argument and he says he cannot trust me now. Must I carry on with this relationship and try to mend it or must I get out.

LazyGuy agony auntThis is what a dutch nighttime radio program does. Allows people , mostly women as far as I heard, to sign-up their partner and then someone calls them pretending to have met them at some party and wanting to see if they are intrested.

Funny reactions, some girls are very relieved because some guys simply turn the caller down very direct but a lot also are open and then you can hear the girl pretending to be fine with it but when he gets home...

Basically you failed a simple test. People pull this kind of stuff from time to time, wrong perhaps BUT so is saying you will go out with another man when you are in a relationship.

Either you two make up or the relationship is over. Pick either one.

PeterPan agony auntIn the United States, this is called "Entrapment" and it's against the law. For instance, the police can't leave a bag of money sitting outside a bank and wait for somebody to pick it up and arrest them... this is illegal...

That said, I think it's wrong for your BF to set an entrapment case against you. Yes, it's childish of him... I'm not sure that I would want to be around anyone that's silly enough to send blind text-messages as a joke and not expect a joke response back...

He was being very immature.

Was he pretending to be someone you know or a stranger?

If this relationship continues you will both need to seriouslt talk about your trust issues... why did he pull this "prank" on you in the first place?

Both the other comments make very good points.

Good Luck. x

I think you must learn from this experience, not make dates with strangers if you are in a relationship.

There is no point being in a relationship if there is no trust!

Better luck next time!

Minelisse agony auntWell if an unknown person asked you out on a date and you said yes I think you should probably have a deep and honest conversation with yourself. Do you really love him? Do you feel you want to be with him and just him?

I understand it was a childish prank but you said yes to an unknown man! That must be really difficult for him!

Good luck!

Oooh, tricky. His game was childish and dangerous but it did prove one thing - you CANNOT be trusted!

Well, you don't need an insecure guy like that anyway so, move on and look upon this as valuable experience.

Good luck.
