A couple of weekends ago, I went out to a bar with one of my girlfriends who was visiting from out of town. (Let's call her Linda.) We met up with a group of friends and Linda started chatting and flirting with a guy who was part of our extended group. They hit it off, so Linda gave him her number because he said he would be visiting her city the next weekend.

Later in the evening, Linda was introduced to the guy's girlfriend! Feeling embarrassed, she convinced herself that he was just being friendly. By the next day she had totally forgotten about it . . . until he ended up sending her a suggestive text message when he came into town. This guy was a real keeper: trying to make plans via text when he already had a girlfriend! How does one handle such douchiness?

Uggg! Some guys are so horrible! Just ignoring him and never talking to him again is probably the best thing to do, or you could send a txt mentioning his gf and then telling him to leave you alone.
1Honestly, I wouldn't even dignify it with a response.
2Jerk somehow doesn't seem a sufficiently strong adjective for this guy. Ignore the *sshole - don't even reply. Like an email address solely used for dating, I'd say it's a good idea for many women to have a spare phone (pre-pay?). Don't give out your real full time (private?) number until you know you really do want the other person to have it.
3I agree with the previews comments, ignore the bastard.
4Truthfully, I would tell him I met his girlfriend, and I would feel uncomfortable meeting with him. That would be the end of that, and I would forget about him.
5No response. It's even better than a no.
6Guys like this have no shame. I was asked out yesterday by a guy, who I politely told I was married. His response was "So am I, we should hook up anyway." I had no idea what to say, so I just smiled and took off.
Guys can be unimaginable asses.
7I ran in to one of these creeps a few weeks ago. My room mate her bf and their friends came with me to the gay bar dwn the street. One of their friends handsome Cuban guy who has a gf of five yrs comes up to me and says "so which one of these girls is straight" I said you have a girlfriend and his response was "so". I lost all respect right there.
I never understood cheating because IMO if I were tempted to cheat that would mean I'm not happy with what I have. So why am I cheating on what I'm not happy with? Why not just end it and pursue something I am happy with at least that way I can maintain my self respect and although the partner that I parted from may not be happy about it I didn't disrespect them either.
8At my prom, my friend's date was hitting on me, which wouldn't have been so bad except he didn't even sit next to my friend (his date) in the limo. The thing that I'm learning as I get older is that high school never ends.
9I wouldn't respond to the guy.
If I found out my boyfriend was doing this, I'd dump him.
10A guys perspective:
Seems to me like a great opportunity to set the a-hole up, and potentially open the eyes of his girlfriend. Play along for a bit, save a few of his text messages, emails, voicemails, etc, and make sure his girl friend gets them. Isn't this what you would want?
11wow it took a man to finally mention that lol how refreshingly admirable.
12Sticky situations are the worst. Definitely ignore. He doesn't deserve the response, and you definitely don't want the drama.
13# 11... the big problem with that tactic is that, unfortunately, many women, and men would not be as appreciative of the eye-opening as you might think. Their trust and loyalty is with the person they're dating so they trust excuses made by their partner and accuse the informer of 'trying to break them up' and telling lies.
14My sister was married and her husbands,his best friend N started texting her soon as her and her husband got separated. N has a gf, J, of 5 years who is close friends with my sister. J was a bridesmaid at my sisters wedding and he was a groomsmen. N & J are still together and he texts my sister constantly, extremely inappropriate messages. She has repeatedly told N to stop and even tried bringing it up to J. J ignores it and says that would never happen etc etc.
15So I was once the "gf" in this situation. My then bf spoon fed cake to my neighbor while I was standing right there. I got mad at him, but he brushed it off like it was nothing. 2 months later, she called me to tell me he had been trying to hang out w/ her and see her when he was in her city. I appreciated her gesture, confronted him, dumped him, then eventually patched up n got back together w/ him. I finally cut all ties w/ him 2 months later because I felt like I couldn't trust him in general. Good thing- turns out he was a huge cheater. I wish I had listened to my neighbor earlier, but her warning helped make my decision easier. I'm DEFINITELY glad she told me.
