writes:I want to know why a married man who I occasionally bump into and who talks to me would panick and walk away as I was about to say hi to him in front of my husband. We have a neighbourly relationship.When he saw me walking toward him, he starred at me, then at my husband, and he walked away as I was about to approach him to say hi. He knows my husband as well but he talks to me more than to him. It was very obvious that he panicked. This was the first time I was about to say hi to him while my husband was with me. Usually this man smiles and sometimes initiates conversations. Why would he react this way? I found it odd.After this happened, he went back to being friendly again whenever I was alone. He was obviously in a panick and got nervous that day...but why this odd reaction?

I did notice some subtle signs he was attracted to me, and the reason I was concerned was because I want to make sure I don't lead him on in any way, and the fact that he panicked because I was going to talk to him in front of my husband sort of indicated to me that his "guilty conscience" might have made him react this way. If this is the case, I would perhaps need to "modify" the way I speak to him now on seeing that I run into him sometimes.

 I am saying only the man in question knows why he did this. If it is so important I suggest you ask him.

I think what happened was he was walking along merrily and then saw your husband, who had the same shirt as him and he went "Oh Gosh, I was supposed to pick up the dry cleaning and my wife will kill me if I forget it again" so he turned on his heel before the sight of your magnificent beauty made him forget ... again.
Hows that, any more fanciful that what you believe the reason was?

 I suspect that he had a "woody" in his trousers.... and was concerned that your "Mr" would see it,.... and see that this guy has the "hots" for you.... so he had to get out of "Mr's" line of vision.......
After that... this was really a "non-issue" wasn't it? Are you still going to egg this guy on... and see if you can get him to compromise your principles?????
Good luck....

Just ask him if he was ok the other day when he seen you and your husband together because he seemed a bit agitated...
