Men and women

It could mean, “if only we were both free and you felt as I do” or “sorry we won’t meet again “., or “you remind me of my dear mother”. who knows?

Let's give her a chance. My first post wasn't well received but had about 150 replied when people realised I wasn't messing about.

brilliantly put phoenix!

Jette are you a new member? Is this your first post? Are you about to tell us what you use to make your skin so soft that "professional"men feel an irresistible urge to stroke it?

To quote Lewis Carroll, this gets "curiouser and curiouser"

professional man ? Not sure what difference that makes.

In the circumstances Jette describes, I would probably protest vocally and certainly swat his hand away.

I'm a bit of a face stroking type.
Obviously only people I love or like very much, which isn't many people.

I've just choked on my biscuits Annie!

Why would anyone wonder if someone’s skin was real

“Soft skin”?..
Weird!

Near me physically

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

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

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.

I'd shudder.

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

Perhaps Jette is male

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

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

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

Love it Cherrytree?

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.

Or is he just wiping the dribbles away?

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