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

Elrel Sun 29-Jul-18 11:24:16

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!

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

123kitty Sun 29-Jul-18 18:37:55

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

pollyperkins Sun 29-Jul-18 18:40:45

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.

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

“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..... confused

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

Elegran Mon 30-Jul-18 15:39:37

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.

pollyperkins Mon 30-Jul-18 15:54:36

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!

M0nica Mon 30-Jul-18 15:56:25

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.

Juggernaut Mon 30-Jul-18 16:08:53

I still have my doubts!

Jette Mon 30-Jul-18 18:54:05

Do you really think I'll reveal more now?You are very
unsympathetic and remind me of oldwives and gossips
You need ponder more .I believed I was safe here unlike othe r internet forums.But I was wrong.I've been in A and E for 3hours and that was bad enough.

Jette Mon 30-Jul-18 18:56:07

Think about me and not yourself.If you can't then don't reply.You are all enjoying fun and not seeing it is serious but I can't divulge more.And thank God I didn't.

Scribbles Mon 30-Jul-18 19:28:24

What on earth has A&E got to do with the subject under discussion? What did this mysterious man touch you with? A razor blade?
Ohhhh! Don't answer! I don't want to know. You're like a mardy child, winding up the adults.

MawBroon Mon 30-Jul-18 19:39:00

Jette people have tried to respond but you have been extremely unclear as to what the problem was.
Who is to say if YABU or not when you won’t say what this is about?

M0nica Mon 30-Jul-18 20:27:58

We did think about you, but you told us so little we had little to go on.

crazyH Mon 30-Jul-18 21:24:47

Seriously Jette, what were you in A&E for? Hope you're ok

Jalima1108 Mon 30-Jul-18 22:55:58

On the evidence presented the fellow's a bounder, and possibly an accountant to boot.
grumppa I'm shocked!!
I think possibly an estate agent but not an accountant, they're too proper

skin so soft do you think the OP is an Avon Lady, M0nica?

Jalima1108 Mon 30-Jul-18 22:59:36

Seriously Jette, what were you in A&E for?
Perhaps Jette had to take the man who stroked her face to A&E after she handbagged him (which I may have done myself).
I wouldn't have waited around for him though.

crazyH Mon 30-Jul-18 23:24:20

Oh Jalima, I needed a good belly laugh and you have provided it ?????

Elrel Tue 31-Jul-18 00:07:13

He's a doctor I reckon.

Elegran Tue 31-Jul-18 09:40:36

A doctor in A & E, Eirel. Perhaps this cryptic puzzle thread would have been better in the Games section than in the relationships one. Unless the OP is in a relationship with the A & E doc?

when you get to a certain age keep using the phrase bless in a condescending way

Well! Bless me! That term "certain age" is getting a fair work-out these days. I've yet to find out what it is .but maybe it's a very personal thing, so I'll just have to wait until mine turns up! shock
If a man "gently caressed my face" I'd run for the hills! grin

This thread is a virtual i spy! Minimal clues, lots of guessing.. and 3 days later, we're no closer to knowing the answer!

Are you easily shocked Jette?
Surprising as you say you mix with many people in London and on the internet a jungle, surely, compared to Gransnet?

A little more information to go on would be helpful; your posts are very enigmatic.
