To think you wouldn’t give your number out to someone in a relationship.

Bit of an odd one. Today I went into my message requests on Facebook and realised I had messages I’ve never seen or replied to. Some were from parents of my kids friends, some random and another from a guy asking if I knew him as I had added him.

Now, I have accidentally added people as friends on Facebook before so I replied to say sorry if I did it would have been an accident.

He replied saying it’s okay, asking where I live. I didn’t want to be rude so replied to say where I live (like the county, not the town just in case he’s a stalker). He started chatting where he lived, what he was up to which was odd and I just tried to cut off the conversation by using the thumbs up hoping he wouldn’t reply.

Then he keeps messaging me saying I seem nice, etc and about the weather.

I said I couldn’t stop to chat as was going to work (that was a lie, im a SAHM right now) and my partner would start wondering why I have random
Messages from men on my phone!!

Yet he didn’t get the hint. I don’t like upsetting people. Then he asked for my number. I didn’t reply and ignored it but he kept messaging. I replied to say I’m not sure what your intentions are but I don’t give out my number. I’m in a faithful relationship of 7 years.

So I ended up blocking him. I had mentioned I had a partner twice. I hardly made conversation at first and my profile is somewhat public. There’s a pic of me and partner as my profile pic. My relationship status is public I think..

So would a man (or a woman) give out their number to a random stranger clearly in a relationship?

If I was single I couldn’t do it. I’ve never been interested in a man that is clearly taken!!

Now I have some sense of guilt that I’ve done something wrong which I haven’t. I thought I had accidentally added the guy and he asking me who I was so I replied. Maybe I didn’t accidwntally add him in the first place??

He's just trying it on. I'll bet you didn't accidentally add him. He's just spotted your profile pic and thought he'd try it on. I'd have blocked him without replying (but maybe I'm a bit harsher than you!).

I think I block a random man a month on FB. V normal and they'll be used to it.

Also if you'd accidentally added him he'd be in your messages not message requests

Why were you even replying in the first place? FB is awash with weirdos who add you then message you. You don’t know him, you owe him nothing, block and don’t think about it. Life’s too short.
