TasteofIndia agony auntHey sweetness,

You're playing with fire here, sweetness! I think you need to make it VERY clear that you are married so that this gentleman doesn't get any ideas. You don't want to give the wrong impression or else that could make some serious trouble in the future.

I think that "blueberry" was right on. Maybe you should invite this guy over for dinner with you and your husband... or you could invited him for drinks with you and your husband. Let your husband know, at least, if you're going to hang out with this guy on your own. Otherwise, your husband could feel like you're sneaking around behind his back - and you don't want any drama in your marriage!!!

Be very careful. Maybe you and your husband could BOTH make a new friend!

Good luck, sweetness.

blueberry agony auntwhy did nt u tell him u are married? I think this has danger written allover it! Only talk to him if your husband is around (other than a quick hello) and tell ur husband theres a nice neighbour and maybe invite him over for a drink IF your husband will be attending. at most! This way its out in the open and ur husband will think nothing of it and u should feel better as well. But really there is no reason to make a new friend...lol
