    Hi, just a quick issue, I received a text message from a number I didnt know and we just corresponded from the first one as it turns out she was given my number by a guy she met last week in a club but it wasnt me. we've been texting each other for a while and I rang her during the week and while chatting to her she said she was in a relationship but for some reason we have been hitting it off and the texts have been getting more flirtier.Im not in a relationship at the moment. So has anyone got any advice as to what to do next?

    stop immediately. She is playing games if she is in a relationship.

    Don't be a cog in her games.

    But it seems i just drawn to it, nothing has been said about meeting up or anything so far its just a bit of harmless text fun

    Of course people like harmless flirting, it's an ego boost of sorts.
    However, if she sought your number off someone that means she's actively seeking someone to do this with. Not good IMO. Flirtings all well and good, but not if there's intent behind it.
    I would reduce the texting, it's not really fair on her OH and you don't want to get involved in a potentially messy situation.

    If I'm right then the OP was actually a wrong number....she thought she was texting a guy she met in a club last week? So that in itself speaks volumes - she is in a relationship, she is flirting and taking numbers off guys she meets in clubs and is then texting wrong numbers (OP). NIGHTMARE!!! I'd say keep away OP, this one is a no-brainer :rolleyes:

    Do what you want it is harmless fun. So what if she is in a relationship who cares. She might dump him and hook up with you. cool.....


    Then in 2 months she might go out one night with a couple of girls meet another man and start texting him. Shock! :eek: I never saw that coming!

    Would you trust her! Flurt away though who give a f... dam! :D

    Apologies, I don't think I was awake enough earlier -- you're right does sound like she was meant to text some guy she met. That's even worse.
    Flirting is harmless at times, but in this case, I'd stay away!

    Joey the lips This one is, so please keep off topic responses to yourself. Thanks.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    It is harmless if a little pointless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    now why would she be taking numbers off randomers if she is in a relationship??sounds like a royal mess,back off now. seriously,more trouble than it's worth.

    how do you know it's a female?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 570 ✭✭✭Salome


    Steer clear. You don't want to get mixed up with some headwrecker. Harmless flirting it may be, for now. What if she asks to meet? What if you do meet? It's a mess you could do without. You could never trust her if the relationship progressed so why bother?

    i never thought of that and a very good point
