You just have to sell it as..
"I think I have a secret admirer, XYZ mentioned it yesterday/today that they asked for my number at that party we went too...they know im married/engaged/single, what a weirdo....one to avoid eh hunny.....Wanna brew?"0 -
I'd tell him and have a laugh about it. If he found out from someone else, he'd wonder why you kept it from him. If I was him though, I'd be worried about the person trying to set you up when they know you're together....0

Yes I think I need to keep it upbeat not turn it in to a drama0 -
Don't think I would bother because it's insignificant. If it did get back via someone else and IF my husband asked why I didn't mention it I would just tell him the truth, that I never gave it a second thought.
I would be more likely to say to the family member what are you ringing me for why on earth would you think I would be interested tell him to bog offThe most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. Steve Biko0 -
I would definitely tell him and it wouldn't be a big deal.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

I'd tell my OH and have a laugh about it, it is very flattering after all!
Strange that the family member mentioned it though if they know you're in a relationship? Was it a case of 'This person wanted your number' or 'Do you want to give this person your number?', if it was the latter I'd be having words!

Personally yes I would mention it. There is no reason to keep quiet. By being open and honest you alleviate any problems occurring.The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.0

This is exactly what I'd do. Why cause potential friction by telling my partner, when the other person didn't even speak to me myself? The family member who told the OP sounds like a poop stirrer, especially as she was at the party with her OH!0
