So let’s say you are a nice young dude/lady, happily married and minding your business when out of the blue an acquaintance you know through work or some other place tells you that she/he (respectively) has feelings for you.
How would you react?
What would be your next step?
I was very upset and disgusted because the person knew I was just about to be married.
I didn't even repond to him and ended all communications. Actually, one of my friends told him that I wasn't interested.

^ You mean you wouldn't even thank the person?
It must have taken a lot of courage for that person to work up the nerve to say something like that.......
But it was wrong of that person to put you in an awkward position no? Why thank them and even faintly acknowledge that emotion.
For example, if I had a crush on some married person who was happily married, what would be the purpose of revealing my feelings? To cause chaos, some bad feelings, maybe give him options?
^ Ur right about that actually. Even if someone werent married but in a relationship with someone... to tell them that u like them isnt quite the right thing to do.
but these days, anything goes yeah? People are always hopeful. That maybe somehow you may return those feelings. So... thanking them probably isnt a good thing. (and yeah, i think i did say i'd thank them... silly though)

Thats what gets me so frazzled.
It probably did take a lot of courage for them to tell me how they felt. However, if Im in a relationship...marriage...then havent they put me in an awkward spot? If Im happily married...why are they saying this to me now? What are they hoping I will do? Leave my husband? And if they really love me, dont they want to see me happy in my relationship?
It just opens up a can of worms no married person wants to deal with so better to just stop talking altogether.
