Would it have been inappropriate to go for a walk with married man?

I am married with a child and a male who is also married and has a child the same age has started messaging me. I met him in 2018 through a mutual friend when both single. Nothing happened and have only met two or three times. I’ve been a little uncomfortable with him messaging me lately. I’m happy to have the odd message but it’s becoming almost daily and mostly I don’t even reply but just will occasionally to be polite and we just talk about our children. He always asks for a selfie and I say no. He recently asked if I wanted to go for a walk with him and the kids. I don’t really care to as I hardly know him anyway but I declined politely saying I’m not sure if it’s appropriate. He asked why and said he wasn’t sure if I had a lot of support as my partner works out of town so was just being nice. I said his partner may not care but I kind of get if she would as she has just had a baby and you’re catching up with a girl you don’t know that well and she doesn’t know at all. Plus I don’t want to cause issues in my own relationship although I’m not sure if my husband would care. I believe I did the right thing but could he have just been genuinely trying to be nice? I guess I don’t know why he is trying to start a friendship with me as we only met twice six years ago but suspect there is a level of attraction even if he’d never act on it.

He's looking to seduce you. Block and delete.

This is not about being polite anymore. This is completely innapropriate behavior on his part but also on *your* part since his selfie request.

How would you feel if your husband sent selfies to other women! C'mon!

Who says he will never act on it? 

He has the choice to go for a beer with a buddy or go on a “date” with another woman and your children… His choice says a lot about his intention. 

I would say that it’s highly inappropriate for you to socialize with your children when you are both married - I think you made the right decision.

Personally, I would ask him to stop texting as it’s disruptive to my work and my family life.
