I have a boyfriend and I wanna be faithful to him. I tell him when boys ask for my number. Yesterday, he acted weird, I didn't know why, until he told me that 'a boyfriend doesn't wanna know if his girlfriend's are getting numbers' well.. I just wanted him to know so he won't think anything, what should I do..? Just keep my mouth shut and wait till he asks me?

TasteofIndia agony auntHi there, doll.

Well, you were sweet to tell him and be honest. If he doesn't want to know - well, the man has spoken. As long as you aren't taking these numbers seriously, as long as you're staying faithful I think you should do as "Kenny" says, and keep these numbers to yourself to keep the peace.

You sound like a sweet girlfriend. As long as you're not acting on these guys who are hitting on you, I wouldn't worry about telling your boyfriend everytime a guy throws a number your way.

Good luck, sweetness!

Robyn1701 agony auntI think you are right to tell him. It would be so much worse if you didn't tell him and then he found out from reading your phone.

If you love this guy and you only want to be with him, then I think you should turn guys down when they ask for your number. Then you don't have to tell your boyfriend because even if he saw your phone, there wouldn't be messages on it from any guys but him.

Explain to your boyfriend next time you see him as soon as you see him that you never meant to hurt him by saying you were getting numbers. And also tell him that you don't give your number out because he's the only guy you want. Trust me it will make him feel better and then next time you say "some guy asked for my number" then you can both laugh about it!

Mail me if you need any more help. I'm happy to give you advice if you need it!

kenny agony auntI think just to keep the peace with your boyfriend i would be inclined to keep it to yourself. Its not like you are being unfaithful or anything. If a guy gives you his number and then you bin it is no big deal really, if you think it will save arguments then keep it under your hat.

Good luck x
