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

narrowboatnan Sat 28-Jul-18 10:08:11

If the chap was from a different culture then maybe he was black and had never touched a white person’s skin before (this is assuming that Jette is white) and wanted to know what her face felt like?

We need more context to be able to comment in any useful way.

But I agree with Wot. Let's give her a chance.

If it felt in any way aggressive and/or sexual wrong. If it felt caring and/or sympathetic then okay even if unusual and a sign that you touched his heart.

On the evidence presented the fellow's a bounder, and possibly an accountant to boot.

Yuk!!!!!

Stroke his face, find out where it leads. There is no reparation in eternity for repeling love. Could be beautiful, shocking, bizarre, a hoot, whatever?

My husband or (maybe) my little grandson - yes, very nice. Anyone else - no. You say it was a professional meeting - I'd say definitely NO.

sylviann Sat 28-Jul-18 09:51:49

I'd take it in the spirit it was meant in

I cannot imagine ever "gently caressing" the cheek of a woman with whom I had not already established, or was not in the process of establishing, a mutually acceptable of intimacy - unless of course an insect had settled on her cheek and I did not have a clean handkerchief or tissue handy.....

It's an "It depends...." answer.

If the man were the one and only love of my life that would be beautiful.

I can't think of any other circumstances where I wouldn't be other than spooked by it!

Oh - my blind friend, of course! As he has moved to another country I nearly forgot. Naturally, I let him touch my face . But he only asked once just to get an idea of what I was like.

A Dentist stroked my earlobe while waiting for the numbing injection to take effect, years ago. I changed Dentists.

Someone did caress my face recently and told me I was beautiful. It was my four-year old grandson and I’m still loving the feeling.

Hilarious! Love a good laugh in the morning!

I couldn't agree more!

Marieeliz Sat 28-Jul-18 09:25:16

Sometimes men, from a different culture, think it is ok to be over familiar with a western women. They think we are sluts.

Was he a doctor or dentist?
Had you just said something cute?
Maybe there was a stray eyelash or tiny spider on your cheek.
Context needed!

I'd slap HIS face to make it clear that he should never humiliate me or anyone else by doing that.

Minerva Sat 28-Jul-18 09:17:23

If it was one of my grandsons they would get a big cuddle, and if it was my son I would send him to Specsavers. There’s no OH so any other male would get a slap.

Coconut Sat 28-Jul-18 09:07:14

This post is weird ! If a man strokes your face and you are not in a relationship with him ... it’s surely a clear dictation that he wants to be in a relationship with you and he is judging your reaction .....

tiredoldwoman Sat 28-Jul-18 09:06:22

I don't like people touching me so I might have bitten him, unless I was wearing my muzzle and allowed out .

labazs Sat 28-Jul-18 09:05:53

wouldnt have to look hard on me at my age for bristles!

MawBroon Sat 28-Jul-18 08:10:06

It has to be another wind up, surely?
What’s with “the professional man” and the “from another culture”?

M0nica Sat 28-Jul-18 06:54:16

Is this a slow lead to advertising the product that makes her skin so soft?

absent Sat 28-Jul-18 06:34:20

Do I ever get to be with a man – over three – who caresses my face?
