my nieghbors..man, wife, three kids...were very nice to me this past week when our entire block lost all power. They went and go me a truck load of wood, checked on me several times. ect. I have the man my phone number cause he said he was going to fix the tree that fell on our fence....but didnt want to go in my back yard wihtout my permission and wasnt home. So i said..oh, sorry, i should give you my phone number so you guys can call if you ever need any thing. Now he keeps texting me stuff like..you all still ok. Im board...and everyone is in bed....any suggestions on what i could do. Is he really board and they are really nice people or is he fishing for something else.

If he is texting you about how he is bored and the rest of his family is in bed, then he is bad news. It was kind of him and his family to help you out, but I think he is expecting more now. I would just ignore it, and avoid him for a while. Surely he will get the hint.

What you should have done was give the wife the phone number. When she finds that he has the number and she does not... think she might get a little suspicious? If he hasn't cut the tree off the fence, have him bring his wife with him. When he text you, let him know that you and your family are doing fine and ask how his wife is. Tell him there are games he can play on the computer, or if he is bored enough he should check on his wife. Leave the neighborhood hubby alone or you will soon find havoc on your street. Could be he is fishing and if he is, let him know up front you are not interested in married men.

Hmm. I'd love to say that it sounds like he's just being a nice guy and checking up on you, but texting "I'm bored" and "everyone is in bed" to you...? I'd get creepy vibes too.
Just ignore the texts and hopefully he'll get the vibe and stop. If he doesn't, talk to him face-to-face -- so there's a beginning and definite *end* to your conversation -- and tell him that his texting you with "bored" and "in bed" texts isn't something you're comfortable with (he's got a wife if he's bored!), and you only gave him your number for an emergency contact (and everyone else being in bed is not an emergency!) Keep the texts for evidence, just in case folks think you're making it up. Better safe than sorry.

Men are easily flattered. For a young girl to give a old dude any kind of attention would be a dream. He might be fishing, but give him the benefit of the bought. Let him know that you are not conferable with what he's doing. If you have to (as a last resort) talk to his wife. I would not change your phone number that's real inconvenient for you and the people that you want calls from.

They probably ARE really nice people, and he probably IS bored, however he may have already had a few fantasies about his hot single lady neighbor, and is now hoping he might have a shot. I wouldn't call him a pervert, but he's not being innocent either, telling you everyone is in bed and he's bored and wondering what he should do for entertainment. I'd just text him back one time, say that everything is fine thank you goodnight. If he keeps it up, just ignore it. He'll probably resume his regularly scheduled life.

sweetheart, you need to be very careful. it sounds like this guy is giving you little signals that he's interested in you as more that just a good neighbor! men, especially married men don't just do things like that and not mean something by it. he's definately interested in you, and yes, he's fishing for information to see if you're interested in him. he's a pervert! when he texts you, just text back and tell him you're busy scrubbing the toilet, or that you're waiting for your ex-lax to kick in. after telling him a few things like that, he'll get the hint that you're not interested, and leave you alone. and this mans wife and children are probably nice people, and don't have a clue as to what he's doing. but either way, you be careful, and never let yourself be alone with this man.
I Wish You the Best

Was very nice what they did. but yes seems a bit fishy now to keep texting you saying he's board he probably likes you a bit too so keep your distance now that your better you thanked the wife and family thats enough and ignore his text messages when he trys to talk to you. and if you meet him in person hint around about this wonderful boyfriend you have ( even if you dont' have one ) something like oh high bob just on my way out to meet my boyfrirend he's taking me out to dinner then a show. stuff like that. he should get the hint.

Well, I think you need to be clear with him about your concerns. If you don't like his attitude at texting you all the time then tell him.
I sincerely think he is coming onto you. Because, why should you be the one to suggest to him what to do with his evening. Didn't he know what to do before he met you?!!! So it is obvious his intentions.
Text him back that if he keeps bothering you with personal stuff that he should be discussing with his wife then you might just consider talking to his wife about it.
That should freak him out a bit and have him stop bothering you.

properly, he will be only a delightful guy. That does look beside the point. Are we speaking a school bus or a city bus? also, how previous are you? when you're youthful then what he did become way out of line, yet when you're over 18 or you look over 18 then it become purely flirting and seen very rude. both way, you may document him to his manager.

It sounds like hes trying to be unfaithful to his wife. Avoid him when you can and if your together make sure you're around other people. Changing your number might be a good idea.
Use caution, you never know how perverted someone really is.
