Men and women

Jette, we asked you many times to give us more information about the circumstances and background to this event, but you didn't

Regrettably some people think it funny to start spoof threads on GN and brief bald OPs like yours do rouse suspicions when no further information is forthcoming, despite requests.

I agree with Elegran - to get sympathetic or helpful answers you need to provide some sort of context. There are sometimes spoof posts and this one read like that because it was so brief with no background. It could have been a doctor a dentist a lawyer a teacher or someone you met in a lift. You could have been with him 5 mins half an hour or two days. I'm sorry if you found us unhelpful. We are usually a friendly lot, honest! Next time give us a bit more detail!

Were you also shocked by out of the blue being touched by this man, Jette? I suspect that if you had said more about how it had come about, and what you yourself thought about it, you might have received more sympathy.

As it was, it sounded so very impersonal (and not about a relationship at all) that it seemed you were just asking to see what answers you would get from a vague sort of possibility of it happening, and not to get advice on a relationship. There are no mind readers on here.

I am shocked by the way peoplehave talked to me here and Is hall be leaving.I believed I could get some help but I was mistaken.I mix with many people in London and on the internet but I'll say goodby to you lot of Grans.This is a very personal matter and I thought you would be kind.My mistake

“the professional man” and the “from another culture”
Do you mean a male escort or lounge lizard..Like in an Agatha Christie story.. can't trust them furriners.....

I hate being touched. I think I'd have slapped him.

You must admit that's quite funny kitty. It goes with : your teeth are like stars -they come out at night. Your eyes are like pools , cess pools. Etc. I used to think these hilarious as a child.

Years ago my horrid sister stroked my face and said- ah your skin is like a peach- a football peach

If it was a nan I loved fine, anyone else slap his hand away.

M0nica - I get ‘Aww’ quite a bit which I really don’t mind!

‘Here I am, an old lady - but she’s not me, she’s just what YOU see!’
is sometimes how I introduce myself at Open Mics!

Jette, if you are quite old, he could have been patronising you rather like people who when you get to a certain age keep using the phrase bless in a condescending way

Maybe his profession is male escort and he's luring Jette into buying "extras!"

Jette what did you mean by “you were with”?
Are you happy with that sort of physical contact?

My dentist patted me on the head and I found it affectionate. I didn't mind at all, being glad the dental work was over.

Jette
Do you interpret the cheek stroking as "childlike" by an old friend, if so there is no harm

I don’t think anyone was attacking you Jette but it is a very odd post because no one on here knows you, knows the man, knows the relationship, or the friendship or the professional contact or even the situation so really have so
Title to react to
You seem as if you enjoyed the encounter so I d say good luck You also say you haven’t seen him since but we have no knowledge whether this encounter happened last week last year or last decade
Hopefully he facncies you you fancy him and all will be well with the world

Is he young, grannyoftwins?

I am genuinely interested in your opinions but I don't know why you attack me about soft skin.I was being humorous as I am quite old.I have known this person for a long time but not as a friend

A handsome,well-known television actor stroked my cheek when I met him recently. I was secretly thrilled. My husband was amused.

I do it to my son when Ive been on the Pinot....is that the sort of thing you mean?

Enough.
This is nonsense.

All the responses are hillarious, but ..........

This is a pointless post as no detail is given nor has the OP come back to enlighten us! Bored now ?

I think this is a wind up too Gabriella

Was he envious of your beard?
