Highschool Friend's Brother Asked For My Phone# and Email Address

First of all, let me state that I have been in a committed relationship for almost 5 months, in which we both love one another. I am the happiest with this man than I have ever been.

I have a highschool friend that I reunited with on Facebook about 1 year ago. Well, about two weeks ago her brother friended me and had sent me a few messages in my inbox asking how I was, what I have been up to and how I like the city that I moved to a year ago. Nothing out of the ordinary.

This guy knows that I am in a relationship and especially because as I comment on his statuses or he does on mine, I mention my boyfriend often.

Well, today there have been some wall posts and comments on our day to day activities, nothing out of the ordinary still. Well, he just messaged me asking me "So when do I get your number, oh and email address?"

Is this innocent? Am I being naive to think it's just innocent?

If the roles were reversed and my boyfriend had the same thing happening, I would be a bit bothered by it. I trust him but usually it's the other person's motives that make me uneasy.

Should I give him my contact information believing it is harmless or just kinda ignore the inquiry?

He and I were not that close growing up. I mean sure, I spent the night at her house and would watch movies or something with him but he would usually have a friend over too and so we didn't talk much.

Yea, I thought about maybe half-heartedly joking about it saying something like "I'm not sure my boyfriend would approve of that. LOL"

I obviously don't want to offend him but it's not worth causing strife in my relationship should he start calling me and then I have to become assertive and ask him to not call.

I think what you say above is even better...and then follow it up with saying something as I wrote about enjoying touching base from time to time on FB but don't see the need to exchange numbers or email...and then hope he has a good week.

Even if he is a bit offended...that is on him...There is nothing mean about you saying this and it's strange for a man to write that on your board knowing you have a boyfriend...It's one thing if you all were great friends in high school and reconnecting..but even then...it's usually staying on FB unless people are all getting together in a group...

Be careful that your phone number isn't displayed as well which most people I know it's on there and they don't realize it...just like your email.
I would gently say to him that you really don't email much at all...and then go straight to the "enjoy catching up from time to time on FB..."...and then say, "Ok...gotta go, as I'm heading out to my boyfriends tonight...cya"....

Even talk to your boyfriend about it and how he would like it if he were the guy and not paying attention that you are dating someone and asked this...what would he say is good to write to this guy...This way you are also letting your boyfriend know as well as get his help..
