Okie. I have a problem here..
I have this guy friend whom I have known for ard 6 years.
The frenship started when he wanted to know more abt me through my best friend on a christmas nite. His intention was very clear at that time, he had a crush on me and wish to further the r/s.
Things never really work out and everything was made clear by me.
So, we become normal friends like everyone else, but he also ever mentioned abt still having a liking for me after all these years which I didn't really care n bother abt it
Recently I changed my hp no. but I have lost all the no. in my contact including his. and these few nitez he has been calling my hse to look for me, just right I'm out of my hse and he does not have my current no.
My mum was kinda frustrated and actually tried to ask me avoid this guy cos she felt that he is kinda "threatening" to my present r/s as his intention is rather obvious after sometimes of communicating n meeting this friend of mine. And yesh my bf did feel the same way like my mum do.
So now the thing is I tried calling him up to check y he is looking for me, and ever wish to inform him again abt my new contact no. But my mum keep reminding me of not giving my no to him.
Haiz. What should I do?

Are they oversensitive? or am I not worrying what I should?

We must understand the different position based on their different roles to see a good picture.
Your bf He is your bf and of course, he wouldn't like competition. He may not mind competition but when a zero chance competitor gets annoying and affected his gf, the bf will get irritated and pissed. He will request you to ignore him completely and avoid contacts
Your MumYour mum, being your mum, would want to protect her daughter. In her heart, if your current relationship has already been established and there for a good period, your mum may see him as a potential son-in-law or my good daughters' good bf. In just case, she would want you to avoid because she fear complication for good or for ill. Standing on her POV, she feel it's unneccessary to contact that guy.
YouAs a friend for six years, you feel that giving him the contact has no problem since you have already made known to him that he stand no chance - your conscience is clear. Whether you give or not, doesn't matter so much to you. Just that, even he may have liking for you, he is still a friend.
Verdict?

As long as you know what you truely wants - give or don't give doesn't matter at all. It's only about your preference. You give, you also won't like him. You don't give, you also won't like him. The verdict has already been set years ago. So, it is really up to you.
P.S: Yes, people around you are concerned and paranoid. But you make the choice. In my opinion, it doesn't matter.
Cheers
