How would you react if your friend was chatting up your daughter?

I’ll try make this brief. He’s 37 in 19, he’s engaged with 4 kids and his family is relatively close to mine hence why he’s friends with my parents. I’ve had a crush on him on and off since I was like 16 and always used to fantasise about him liking me back. I know it’s bad withhold the judgment I was young.

anyway I was in a relationship for a year until March so I forgot about him. he followed me on Instagram in April which obviously got my attention. his family came round mine in June and that’s when this started, he gave me a few looks while he was here and we had a long hug when he left. I was super drunk and feeling friendly so I messaged him saying ‘get home safe guys’ as they had to walk late at night or whatever. He replied with a few flirty emojis and I was kinda shocked, he then messaged me a few days later apologising and said he was embarrassed. I said don’t be silly it’s fine.

Since then we’ve been messaging quite a bit. He always messages me first and even admitted he shouldn’t be messaging me as he’d ‘get shot’ if anyone saw. He replies to the pictures I post calling me gorgeous, commenting on my outfit, or saying I should be a model. We also have general conversations about our day etc, I do enjoy talking to him.

But obviously he has a fiancé and he’s close friends with my parents particularly my dad.. and no one knows about this. I’m not planning to tell anyone because I feel like it’s quite a big deal and no matter how bad it is I do like him. My question for adults is how would you react if you found out your friend was acting like this with your daughter? And has anyone else had a similar experience?
