I am petrified

Whilst working at my my place of work (I work on the checkout) a chap kept coming through mine and we got chatting about motorbikes etc I was just making polite conversation and said its' lovely out there blaa blaa bla...he said yes Im out on bike later etc..
He was with a lady. whom I thought was his wife! until later found out it was his daughter lol.

He happen to joke one day "oh we will have to go a bike ride together"! (no thank you I thought) (I had a scooter at this time)
He started getting a little persistent... until one day he cme rushing to my till with an envelope saying "Read this read this" after he had goen as I was serving a customer at the time..I opened the envelope and it read......" X ring X on this number for bike rides"!! and put his mobile number on.
I didn't! ring him! I didnt want to! he then came though my till and said "WONT KEEP MY SEAT WARM FOR YOU FOREVER"
The week after he started making snidy remarks which I ignored..he stopped coming through my checkout but did continue to make a remark like "chicken x" frightened of getting on bike etc etc .

I could have give him a mouth full but we are not allowed to, so If I do catch sight of him at another till I make sure I never make eye contact! he became a bit creepy!!

The whole thread is on Facebook.

OMG ...

I was waiting for a happy ending there, bikergran.

Floradora I’ve just looked at GN’s FB Page and I cant see this thread. The top one is about creamed spinach and the next one, posted yesterday, is about overweight millennials.
Perhaps GN have deleted it.
Am I the only one who suspects the whole story might have been s fabrication?

No Jane!!!

Why would it be a fabrication? Grans need love too!
Nothing unbelievable in it: he wasn't a secret millionaire, he didn't chain her up in the cellar. He was nice and they got on rather well.

It did cross my mind Jane - if I am honest

It’s definitely on Facebook, just scroll down.........

I know we're not supposed to point out any wind-up posts, but ...

No I don't think it's a fabrication- it seems to be an honest, straightforward story - good luck to her

Yes Oops I beg your pardon.
It was posted on 23rd Feb, before the latest 'developments'

Just to be clear Rolande, he stayed overnight at your house?

misadventure lol my 2 wheeled days are over with now lol back to 4 wheels..

A man may stay overnight at a woman's house . Maybe he was drunk, or missed the last train, or they wanted to stay up until they finished planning a new political party, or he was sleepy, or etc etc.

Or maybe Rolande is too coy to say. Coy is an irritating habit.

So is nosiness..

I don't think Rolande is being coy. She said that they met Sunday evening and next came on here Monday lunch time to say he had just left.
And, of course, it is none of our business what occurred between those times and I, for one, don't wish to know...........

I couldn't care less if Rolande had sex. I thought she was going to write something interesting about how she got on with meeting her friend.

grans need love too Is this about love then? ?

I love the way Rolande met in a pub obviously taking all the internet dating advice on board, meeting in a public place for safety and then invited a complete stranger into her house wouldn’t it be prudent at any age to get to know a bit about someone and their background before opening up your home and making yourself completely vulnerable

How strange, I wonder what advise she would have given her daughter in a similar situation

I didn't take my partner to bed till the third date. But I was 15 years younger then than Rolande is now. I don't think I would be so cautious now :-)

By the way, coyness is not withholding information. Coyness is prudish or flirtatious .

Merriam Webster:

1 a : marked by cute, coquettish, or artful playfulness using coy tricks to attract attention
b : shrinking from contact or familiarity
"'Tis but a kiss I beg, Why art thou coy?" —William Shakespeare
2 : showing reluctance to make a definite commitment a coy response

(Can't find a quotations format)

It's got to be a wind-up! No-one but the young, inexperienced and hormone driven would take a complete stranger home to stay overnight.
Rolande says she has been bereaved for just over a year, yet feels ready to take a man she doesn't know in to her home for sex. Really!!

Well said Bluebelle ☺

Not commenting on whether th I s is a wind up or not but the op said she had cared for her dh for 7 years prior to his death.
