writes: My son has just started a new school and being taken by taxi to it. The taxi driver seems very friendly and over the last few weeks he seems to be more interested in poking fun at me, winding me up.He told my son that he was going to tease me and jokes that all women are mad and then said about his wife and how odd she was, then we talked about things and I said thats married life for you and he said 'I am not married' and drove off (he wears a ring on his wedding finger so that comment confused me).He seems happy to tease me and make my son laugh about it. He gets out of his taxi sometimes to come and chat to me and make jokey comments from what we talked about the week before and then he seemed to up the teasing and came along the road honking his horn to wind me up yesterday. As he left I told my son I was taking him out for a special treat and surprise but wouldn't tell him and as the guy left he he just said something, then the word Saturday, turned his music up and flashed his eyebrows up and down at me and then drove off again.Is this just good old fashioned banter or is there is a risk that he could be stepping over the mark. He has been very helpful by going that little bit further in his job by meeting me on the other side of town to drop my son off when I have to get to a weekly drama class with my other son (basically drops the other children off first) only because the drama class is round the corner from where my son's school is.I like having a laugh with him and he does make me smile but I am wondering whether I should back off sometime and just let my son get in the car on his own and not always engage in conversation with him.

But something about your story sounds really off - You said you saw him wearing a wedding ring?Feeling good and having someone to banter with is fun and healthy, but I wouldn’t rush into anything at all with this guy.Your idea to avoid seeing him for a while is ok, just to see if there is a change in his behaviour. One thing is for sure, he is definitely interested in 'you', you just need to know whether it’s because of the right reasons.
