Um, no. He was fishing to see if you would respond in kind.
Don't let that stop you from going dancing or anything you want to do. Just make it clear you don't want the same things, and thanks anyway. Then stay clear of just him. He'll cast his attention elsewhere before long.
Wedding rings stop people?? Huh. Didn't seem to for my ex and I know plenty of guys and gals who have no issue hitting on married people (they are not friends, just acquaintances; I have standards even with friends.) People are people, Am.
As for the fears... are you taking time to face them? Replacing them is one way to cope, but eventually you may want to face those fears so you can see they are not going to be worth your time to worry about. Just a thought.
Peace, AJ
