What if you are taken and you get asked out?

[seoboost]

What would you do in this situation, you are happily either married or dating someone and are thus "taken" as you both are serious and you are having a good, healthy relationship. This other person asks you out and you are quite surprised actually as they know you already have a dating partner? You wonder why they ask you out, yet you are friends with them and you do care about them so you don't want to hurt their feelings. What should you do and how should you answer them? Should you share this with your spouse or your person that you are dating?

There are a few choices of the types of replies that a person could answer and this would of course all depend on how well you knew the other person who just asked you out on a date and whether or not they knew the person you are living with and/or married or happily having a secure relationship with.

Here are some:

Well sorry but I am married, perhaps you didn't notice the wedding ring. I don't think my husband would approve sorry...

That's a great idea, can my husband (or wife) come along on the date with us? Of course, you'd have to also pay their way as well as my way on the dinner date!

Have a very jealous husband (or wife) and they would be not happy at all.

being asked out is like a test to the strengh of your current relationship.
If it is strong, then you decline it and tell your love one.
If it is weak, then you go out that means you want to access the quality of available mates out there. You might be looking for someone to fulfill the missing parts in a relationship

I think, if you are taken and you are asked out you should decline immediately and let them know why. Then you should tell your s.o just to be completely honest with them :)
