I gave my number to a guy, but i have a boyfriend

I met this guy on the way home from work.
and we walked up to the shop together. He just seemed real friendly and we really hit it off. But yeah sure, he asked for my number and I stupidly gave it to him. I've got a boyfriend so I'm not interested but I feel real bad now... I thought he was just being friendly initially because he seemed way older than me and stuff, but then he seemed more flirty after. So yeah, what do I do now?

Ok. So you're friends. Just because he knows your phone number doesn't mean you have to have sex.

if u block his number there is no issue

Lol don't worry I have done this before too after getting a little carried away. If that guy sends any flirty text messages to you just say that you already have a boyfriend so not interested in him in that way. Then say that you're happy to just be friends (if you are) - if he doesn't want that then just leave him alone.

If he texts or whatever, just reply saying you're a man called Boris, asking who he is.

this is kinda funny

Tell you boyfriend about it and ignore the guy texts or calls or block his number.

It wasn't really an accident now though was it? You willingly agreed and gave your number to him. It wasn't like your phone number was on a business card and it fell put your pocket and he picked it up. Take responsibility.

If he contacts you just say you apologise but you have a boyfriend and aren't interested in him.

Wait for him to text, you say sorry you don't know what you were thinking because you've got a boyfriend, and hopefully he won't be in touch again. If he is, make sure he knows the score right from the start, and block his number if necessary.

And so what?

Simply tell him you are not interested into a relationship and kindly ask him do not call you again. What's so hard?

Did you accidently trip and fall onto his phone and press your number into his phone?

Fair enough. Guess I shouldn't have said accident. You know just being too friendly and gave him my number without thinking. Don't want anything more than a friendship though, so I should've thought more before I did that. Gotta start saying no to people and taking responsibility I guess. There maybe wasn't much point asking this question.

I [22/F] have been dating my boyfriend [22/M] for what’s about to be 4 years in a couple of days. We haven’t had the best relationship until I moved out of my toxic household. Since I moved things between us have been amazing. I wouldn’t say he is the jealous type, but sometimes when it comes to guys talking to me he can be a little jealous. Now he doesn’t tell me who I can and can’t talk to. I have male friends and he knows them. Something about me I feel it is important to know is that i can be too nice for my own benefit, I hate being in awkward situations. I am a huge introvert and when it comes to the gym I can’t even ask a person how many sets they have left so I’m just standing in the back of the gym just waiting for a bench or rack to open up.

We both workout, him more than me. Yesterday at the gym while at the squat rack I was resting before starting my set. I was looking at the music video up on the tv that was to my slight right in front of me when I notice an individual just kinda looking at me. (Now let me make note that the squat racks at the gym face each other). I turn and he starts talking to me. I take one ear bud out and he asks if he can take the 25lbs. I said sure and put the earbud back in. I do my set and then I rest. Every time I rest he looks at me and waits for the time to talk. We proceeded to talk about my major and he asks if I do cross fit (I was doing front squats) I tell him that I do track and these are one of the workouts we do. He then says that he is a coach and if I ever need anything he can help. I tell him thanks but that I’m okay that my boyfriend usually helps me out. He then mentions that he is from San Diego and doesn’t really know the area. I’m trying to be polite but I’m really trying to avoid having to talk to him any more than what I have to. I wasn’t really in gaging in the conversation. I was awkward and kept my answers short and blunt. So I start to just do my set when he finishes his to avoid having to talk to him. As I’m thinking about finishing my front squats he then asks about what trails I do. I tell him running on the street is cool. And he then asks for my number just to know what trails he should do. I pause and say “uhh” and I’m looking around. He then acknowledges the fact that I’m not to keen on it and he says “I know you’re a little unsure “ and laughs. I begin to feel awkward and I don’t want to seem rude or bitchy. I’ve never been in this situation so to just get him away I give him my number. Big mistake I know!!

So I decide to go to my boyfriends house and we go run, we have been running together and I should have told him then and there but I hate awkward situations and we were having such a good time I didn’t want to ruin anything. I leave go home. Time goes by and the whole situation eats at me. So I tell my boyfriend and rightfully so he is very upset with me. Especially more so because i waited so long to tell him even after we went running together. He mentions that I should have called him or said something. The thing is I have no intentions with the guy at the gym the second I gave him my number i regretted it . I even hate it more than i didn’t give him a fake one! I would be upset with my boyfriend if he did that too. I’m just very upset with the whole thing.

The guy texted me and I want to tell him that he should just delete my number. I want to remind him I have a boyfriend and that I was just trying to be friendly but I shouldn’t have given him my number. How can I resolve this? How can I avoid this from happening again!? Any tips on how to politely avoid giving my number or should I just try to be mean and tell them to hit the road.

Should I give my number if I have a boyfriend?

If your boyfriend/partner knows and is okay with it, then it's not wrong. However, if you are sneaking, and not talking to your boyfriend about it, then it's wrong, because it's dishonest.

What to say if someone asks for your number and you have a boyfriend?

“Thanks for asking but I already have a partner.” You shouldn't have to pretend to “belong” to someone else just to get the message across, but sometimes it is the most effective way to communicate your unavailability and keep yourself safe.

Is it cheating to give someone your number?

If you are giving your number to someone regarding a business transaction then the answer is 'no'. However, if you are giving it because you hope to have a relationship with that person and your current partner doesn't know that you've given out your number then it could lead to cheating.

Is it OK to give a guy your phone number?

Giving a man your number is ok but it might be smart to take his if you're really interested. Keep in mind there is also the luxury of social media, you don't need to break that boundary if you don't want it.
