First off, I wasn't sure where to put this. Sorry if it's in the wrong spot.
I have a boyfriend, we've been dating for almost 3 years. I go to a local community college in my city. I met this guy who attends the same college as me. He asked if he could take me to a local coffee shop after class one day. He's really funny and fun to hang out with.
Is it wrong of me, since I am in a relationship to do that? Or let alone, do I need my boyfriends permission to go have coffee with this friend I met at school?
The last thing I'm trying to do is cheat on my boyfriend. Actually, I wouldn't even consider it that at all.
Eeek. I'm really confused.
