Slightly OT question...

Last week a friend (male) from high school found me on myspace. I was out of town at the time, so he told me to call him when I got home. Looking back at his profile, he's married. I don't think he's interested in anything more than friendship, but I feel kinda funny about calling a married man (especially having been married to a cheating slimeball). Any thoughts?

Also, I can't even send him a message because every time I try to send a message, I get a blank screen.

How close were you in high school? I have a couple of friends from high school that I keep in contact with, and would think nothing of calling them on occassion.

I do know what you mean about feeling sort of funny calling a married man, but if you were friends, it is probably harmless. If you have any misgivings, though, I'd say pass on this one.

I know from my own only slightly jealous perspective that I'd certainly wonder about a woman calling my husband, but if he was a good guy, and i trusted him, I don't think I'd have a problem with an old buddy getting in touch.

Good luck, and let us know what you decide to do.

Moody, who wouldn't think too hard about it

If you do talk to him, I would bring this subject up right away - and say you would love to meet his family. This leaves no room for fishy stuff.

I would say call him if you were good friends. Ask him about his family immediately. If you have any indication from him that he is up to something he shouldn't be, tell him you aren't interested and stay away. You can never have too many friends and his wife may even be someone you really like and you can have a new girlfriend as well. If he has that he is married posted out there for the world to know then chances are his is on the up and up.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm still not completely sure what I'll do, but right now I'm too busy to call anyway. Maybe this weekend or something.
