Looking for a bit of advice really. I'm a single parent with one little girl. Yesterday I attended a meeting and there was a gorgeous guy there, I definitely felt a connection of some sort and would have liked to chat to him properly but I couldn't. Basically I run the meet so it would be completely unprofessional for me to approach the guy. He contacted me today to get some information for some work he is doing and left me his number so I could get In touch with him if I needed any further details.

Part of me wants to text him but I feel it's unprofessional, I love my job and don't want to jeopardise it in anyway. Btw he doesn't work for my company.

I'm sure if he was interested he would have checked out my Facebook ( that's how most people get info!) there is a photo of me and my daughter on there so he may assume I'm with someone 🤔 So he may not want to approach.

I think if he was as interested he would approach me regardless?

Oh for gods sake confused I said I was turned off as soon as I found out he had children and was in a relationship. You have totally misinterpreted my message. I said from the very beginning I wanted to find out if he was in a relationship and tried looking on Facebook - did you read that bit? Or did you just read what you wanted to read so you could begin an argument? I wanted to try and find out before I even thought of sending a message. If I didn't care about his status I wouldn't have tried to find out those details.

Anyway enough. I'm new to dating again and will not have some silly mumsnet person try to paint me out to be out something I'm not. I've come on here to get advice and help guide me a bit as I'm a bit rusty win dating and lost a bit of confidence with my daughters father.

Good grief OP, chill out!

If this was a one off then I wouldn't say anything. But countless times when I've posted something in this particular forum or on other relationship type sites I get similar comments, judging me and my decisions when all I wanted was a bit of advice. When other people post on here asking for advice, I wouldn't dream of writing back making flippant judgments when I don't know the whole story.

I get the feeling there are a lot of scorned women and men on this site who just -
assume everyone is the same and take out their crap on people like myself.

If you store his phone number In your phone fb will try to connect you on people you may know. Assuming he has fb and has his number connected to his profile

Sorry I didn't see that you found he was in a relationship.
Never mind. Plenty more 🐟 as they say
