How would you take it if a man you were with gently caressed your face?

M0nica Fri 27-Jul-18 16:28:47

Depends on who the man is and the circumstances. Please provide more info.

Depends how well you know him!

PECS Fri 27-Jul-18 16:34:08

Husband or boyfriend fine. Anyone else creepy and controlling.

pollyperkins Fri 27-Jul-18 16:48:27

Anyone other than DH , just no! If him then lovely.

Cherrytree59 Fri 27-Jul-18 16:53:37

Or is he just wiping the dribbles away?shock

Why are you asking what "we" think? Do you have any opinions yourself? You are the one who knows just how familiar you want this man to be. We don't.

Anniebach Fri 27-Jul-18 18:46:46

No husband no boyfriend, leaves the grocery delivery man, gardener , postman or milkman ,nah, can’t help sorry.

MiniMoon Fri 27-Jul-18 18:52:01

Is this some random man you happen to be standing/sitting beside, or a husband, love interest etc?

BlueBelle Fri 27-Jul-18 19:05:52

What a strange post I d run to the mirror to see what was happening

Anniebach Fri 27-Jul-18 19:10:54

Perhaps Jette is male

wot Fri 27-Jul-18 19:14:26

Cherrytree, that's what I'd worry about!

Chewbacca Fri 27-Jul-18 19:16:48

I'd shudder.

It is not unusual to stroke a young child’s face, I once stroked a very dear friend’s face on impulse ( the height difference made hugging awkward) it was totally non sexual, just an expression of warmth and affection. In many cultures it is probably more common than amongst the British.
I would interpret it as saying “ you are very dear to me” - whether as a friend, lover, parent or child. I hope it does not spoil a good relationship.

More information needed please.
Love it cherrytree although a bit close to home smile

Jette Fri 27-Jul-18 22:02:00

I am a woman.This was a professional man.It felt very nice and gentle but I don't have a personal relationship with the man.Maybe he was overwhelmed by my soft skin and wondered if it was real.He is from a different culture.I have not seen him again

Jette Fri 27-Jul-18 22:02:35

Near me physically

MawBroon Fri 27-Jul-18 22:34:16

“Soft skin”?..
