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

PECS Sat 04-Aug-18 13:16:01

I posted "Really??" upthread because I honestly thought it was a wind up /spoof. So little information makes it impossible to make any positive response and makes it look spurious.

No-one is mocking you, but everyone thinks that you have asked a question that is impossible to answer. It is like asking "Should I buy this dress?" without describing it - it could be any dress, in any colour, any size, any style.

You have told us nothing anything about this man, how long you have known him, your previous relationship with him, your age and his, whether he has any authority over you (teacher? neighbour? stepfather? doctor?) or whether you are both young teenagers or old codgers in a care home. His identity is perfectly safe! So is yours.

You could be a worried child who has been sexually abused - in which case you should be contacting childline (0800 1111)

You could be a young adult who has met someone your own age who fancies you - in which case, we wish you well but remind you to Be Careful.

You could be setting us a puzzle to tease - if that is so, I would vote for him being a doctor or dentist who is checking on your teeth or your neck glands.

You could just be someone winding us up to see what replies you get - in which case, you have your replies, now get lost!

Jette
1) nobody asked to to reveal the man’s identity
2) you asked for an opinion, not help
3) you gave so little information it was impossible to know what the problem was
4) you launch an attack on kind people who are giving up their time to try to be sympathetic
5) then you accuse them of mocking you

Come off it, nobody is gossiping, you started this and if you have decided this is not an adequate response, I am sorry, but so be it.

You beat me to it Chewbacca ?

Chewbacca Sat 04-Aug-18 11:50:15

Are you mocking us Jette? hmm

Jette Sat 04-Aug-18 11:35:26

Are you mocking me?

Jette Sat 04-Aug-18 11:34:06

I am new but I shall never post again

Jette Sat 04-Aug-18 11:33:07

I wanted to keep his identity out of it.But this is more like gossip than real help

Chewbacca Tue 31-Jul-18 12:38:27

Enigmatic? Scant? Confusing? Cryptic? All of these could be used to describe this OP. But to be accused of being unkind because we can't answer the OP's question just takes the biscuit!

Elegran Tue 31-Jul-18 12:36:25

I still don't know what Jette wanted help with! Neither, it seems, does anyone else know.

She asked what we would think if a man gently touched a cheek - she got plenty of answers, mostly of the reasonable "it depends who, when, where and why" type. If that isn't enough, sorry, but she will have to ask a different question.

Jalima1108 Tue 31-Jul-18 12:28:21

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

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.

Chewbacca Tue 31-Jul-18 10:20:45

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

Rufus2 Tue 31-Jul-18 10:14:49

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

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?

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

He's a doctor I reckon.

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

I still have my doubts!
