writes: My boyfriend of almost 5 months asked another girl on Facebook for her number. We go to different schools but see each other every weekend. I know this because I went on his Facebook to post something really sweet and it popped up in a little chat box. Should I be worried? I trust him and love him. I'm thinking it could just be for a project or something, but I don't know how to just brush it off.

'....like the people in previous generations writing private love letters then sticking them in the local saloon's window'
I like that analogy.

peacegirl2345 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI deleted the number cause I do trust him. And he told me the truth yesterday that it was her and he showed me the texts, it was just for a project, I didn't ask he just showed me so thank you all for helping me through it.

peacegirl2345 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionOkay so thank you all! I had asked him about it yesterday night and I feel terrible because he thought I thought he was cheating and I think he felt like I was going to leave him and we both ended up crying on each other. He told me that it was the girls brother and that her brother didn't have a Facebook so he used hers. I asked how he knew it was her brother and he couldn't explain himself. I'm still worried. I wrote down the number but I don't know what to do with that information...

I agree with Youwish. If it were for a project they would have been able to exchange numbers in class, but perhaps they didn't have the opportunity. Wouldn't he have let you know he was doing a project with another girl?
If you guys are in an exclusive relationship, he should have disclosed he was working with her.
Exchanging numbers on Facebook could be harmless, but it could also be harmful. I'd ask him about it and approach him lightly, not as if you're interrogating him.
Good luck!!!

I agree with YouWish and the anonymous reader (re sappy Facebook posts).
In days past people seemed more conscienscious of other's boundaries and the appearance of proprety so I would not have thought anything of it then. Having read of flirting and cheating via Facebook and other media in recent years...
I would not automatically jump to conclusions or hurl accusations, but it would get my attention.

I would ask him about it. He shouldn't be asking other girls for a phone number. Usually if it's for a school project, people usually exchange numbers in person, and if you two are exclusive, he would have told you he had to work with the girl in the first place so as to be trustworthy about it.
It's a red flag. Be on guard.
