I'm new to mumsnet and, as my name suggests, I'm not a mother. Anyway, I've recently made a new male friend who use quite a lot older than me (I'm 20 And he's 32) and married with children. We met in a very formal setting and realised we had a passion for a particular shared interest. I forgot all about him until he got in contact with me 5weeks later (he must have searched for my contact details. At first he asked whether I would like to meet for coffee so he can borrow a book I was talking about but now he's changed it to meeting for dinner as the local coffee shops close 'too early'. He has gradually upped the number of kisses in his messages to three. He only messages me early in the morning and very late at night. I don't want to sound dramatic, and I may just be judging him based on the behaviour of my male friends at uni, but this makes me think he hasn't told his wife about our friendship? He has children with his wife and is meeting me for dinner on the night he works in the city where I live, like he wouldn't be able to see me otherwise? I'm slightly uncomfortable about what I think I are secretive nature of his behaviour. Do you think he sees me in a platonic way? Sorry if this is an odd post but I assume most people on MN are in log term relationships with children so may be able to shed some light on the situation. I don't want to upset his wife but I don't want him to think I'm being a presumptuous psycho either?
