New man friend but

Apricity has hit the nail on the head imo,he is lining up his next housekeeper keep away from this leech would be my advice.

I think Apricity sums up my feelings on this quite nicely. Creep on the run indeed.

Maggie, I'll drink (in moderation of course) to that thought. ??

Go easy on the wine ?

Oh wise ladies, thank you so much...

I may well never be attracted to him anyway so why am I putting myself through this? A bit of straight talking methinks and easy on the wine for me because I'm an idiot when I've had too much. 61 going on 16....

He's still living "platonically" (really!!!pull the other leg it's got bells on it!!) with his allegedly "soon to be ex-wife", you just met in the park with the dogs, you're not particularly attracted to him, he's not pushing you but keeps lunging at you and trying to kiss you which you don't like! Maggie what were/are you thinking? There's a world of difference between a pleasant friendship in the park and a creep on the make. Run for the hills or at least find another park to walk the dogs.

Speak up. Tell him the gist of what you've told us, and his response will be revealing. Then you can make your choice.

I think clarification is (almost) always the wisest, fairest, best option!

Listen to your gut feelings.

I have been in a similar situation. I would speak to him exactly as you suggest. The "lunging" is only going to put you off and you may never find him attractive romantically unless he takes things slowly.
