Men and women

Stroking a strangers face is really creepy whatever the intentions are I am having visions of Count Dracula caressing the face of one of his victims.
In an intimate situation it's perfectly OK otherwise really weird

If the man was not known terribly well by moi then I'd be tempted to give him the Mrs Thatcher Handbagging Treatment.

If he was my husband (or the ex) he'd definitely be getting the Mrs Thatcher Handbagging Treatment!!!

Reminds me of creep Trump - see how well he dominates with what look like 'friendly' 'helpful' touching, guiding etc. Absolute no no. Friends husband tried a bit of this. Never got within yards of him ever again.

You lovely ladies make me smile everyday now I’m laughing ...

I'm with sandelf. This appears to be inappropriate behaviour. (Was it in a workplace?) A clearer context is needed from the OP.

A definite no no - I am very protective of my personal space. I even hate all this kissing that acquaintances think is acceptable!

Awkward I would say,if you dont really know the person.

Wind up?

You don't know where his hand has been, anyway, the OP saying that maybe he wanted to touch her soft skin, says it all about her opinion of herself.
I wouldn't give the question any more credence.

Just that nothing else ?No conversation ?Weird.

Was he envious of your beard?

I think this is a wind up too Gabriella

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

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

Enough.
This is nonsense.

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

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

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

Is he young, grannyoftwins?

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

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

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

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

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
