OK . . . background:
I am a lone parent. Friend and I met at a M&T when our DDs were a few months old, now they are preschool. Kept in very regular contact after she returned to work, and met up at the weekends either at her house or mine. Occasionally her DH was about but I found him a bit weird blunt, and tended not to go when I knew he was going to be there.
Almost a year ago, I moved across the way from her (we are the only 2 houses up a long lane in the country) and things have been fine. When I first moved in, he made some rude-ish comments to me (mostly about not working and being on benefits etc) but I brushed them off and continued to avoid have limited contact with him. They are now expecting another baby in a few months
Anyway, to cut a boring long story short, I have been losing some weight over the past few months and he commented on how good I was looking, and last week I had my previously very long hair cut very short which he also commented on (said it really suited me etc and asked if it was to help me find a man to which I replied I wasn't looking) So I met him tonight on the lane up to our houses and he asked when I was going away on hols (without DD) I told him, and he said 'oh haha, out to paint the town red etc' I agreed and had a laugh about no DD so will be having a drink when I'm away, and he suggested I should meet a guy and have a one night thing to 'satisfy any urges' I tried to laugh it off, but was feeling quite uncomfortable.
A few hours later, I got a text saying 'I think your new hair is hot looking' from a number I didn't recognise. I've had a few msgs from the same number this week, either blank or with rude jokes in, but didn't think any more of it. I was going to text back something like 'who is this?' but decided to ignore it and see if I could find out who it was. I went through my phone book, and realised it was his number! my friend had given it to me when I was looking after their house when they were on hols, and having never needed it, never put it on my phone. I was !!
I don't have many RL friends, certainly no one I could talk to about this, as they all know them, but what would you do?
Just to be clear, I would never ever do anything with this guy, no matter how bad my 'urges'()were, but I just don't know what to do. Do I text him back saying something like 'I know, your wife thinks so too' or leave it ignored?
All opinions greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the huge post but I am really
