was infatuated with a younger man (he was 23 and I was 37) at our rickshaw job. He was so athletic and got lots of tips from women (we would give rickshaw rides at an outdoor mall; the mall got rid of our service when the new construction ended). He teased me once, showing me his body. He used to give me a ride home and he bought me candy sometimes. He was fun.
But, I ended up being kicked in the vagina by a dance teacher and he and his girlfriend of about a year just had a baby (he's my Facebook friend)...did we mess each other up? How is he gonna handle a baby as a bipolar waiter??? Sort of worried, but I don't know him well enough to help.... I don't know why I feel guilty.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
Continued support while you sort, ds.
We got some embarrassing attention from coworkers who thought there was more going on than there was, which I think was damaging to both of us. Thank you Arfie, helping sort out feelings
^It^ is not often called, "Sexual Harassment" when women do it, but. . . ^It^ surely ain't pretty.
Not saying that is what you did with your young cutie. I just needed to vent. Haven't seen my sister in 20+ years, but I still wear her scars. She was an absolute horror when she went through her lesbian phase.
Guess I need to make my own thread about The Evil Big Sis, huh? The brother who was between us in age died last month. Lots and lots of flashbacks going on in my own strictly personals.
With sincere apology and hopes of turning the thread back to you. . .
I think my rickshaw crush harassed me right back and he was wonderful.
I did not intentionally harass the dance instructor; I had only one conversation with him; I feel my sexual anxiety about feeling "pinned" in the tight dance frame and hormone problem after the vascular surgery led to an uncomfortable dance class; I honestly feel that kicking me in the butt/vagina three months later was egregious and just plain assault.
My son is 16, on the very quiet side...and HE is slightly, but noticeably "showing people his body". It's the age and hormones. All part of growing up and becoming a sexual human being (which of course is my only hope for becoming a grandparent one day...).
How old is he now? 23 is young, but far from too young to be a parent. I'm guessing that he's a few years older than that now?
I feel fairly sure that you couldn't have stopped him from becoming a parent if you had tried. Boys watch the girls and the girls watch the boys....
