I used to walk around at lunch time with a very good looking colleague several years younger than me if we were going in the same direction. He was a hoot and we would even sit and have our lunch together on a sunny day.
Yup.....gay as a picnic hamper but no one I knew would have known.......makes me smile just to think of it!

Me too, saying stay away, not up to you to 'save her' it may be a storm in a teacup it may be a gay friend for all you know, if the close family member wants to say anything that's up to her/him but you haven't seen anything at all so how can you say anything

Thanks all - you've confirmed my instinct. I shall stay out of it.

Absolutely stay out of it.

nobody elses business so keep out.She may be friends with this "other man" and as far as I know its not a crime to be friends with a member of the opposite sex.I've always had friends who are men...far less bitchy and hard work than many women !And I have been seen to be led across a busy road by the hand by at least one of them..and had lunches and even dinners with them .I 've been happily married for 42 years ,my husband is friends with my friends and has no issues with me spending time with them ,why would he ?

I would say nothing blue60

That "close family member" might have been mistaken or trying to cause trouble for all you know.

If there is something "going on" I can't imagine it staying secret for very long. But please don't put yourself in the position of being the one to blame if it all goes horribly wrong.

Hi all,

not sure what to do or say - should I shouldn't I. A close family member has told me that my niece (who has a fiance) has been spotted on two separate occasions with another man.

One such occasion she came face to face with the family member in the company of this man, and the other she was spotted (unseen by her) holding hands and walking along with him.

She is planning to get married in the next two years, already has a house and has been looking at wedding venues.

I know it's none of my business, but would hate to see marriage plans being made if it's all to end in tears. I've seen too much of it in my time.

I was wondering if I should mention it to my sister, or perhaps ask my niece directly, or stay out of it?
