Is It Normal For My Mum To Be Concerned?

[abbeylee90]

I just told my mum I got a lift with that mam from dogs home to get my covid jab she said be careful with that man he might think you like him one I was on about from dogs home. He took me for dinner afterwards.

[Redhelen72]

Why?

[abbeylee90]

Why did he take me for dinner or why did she say be careful with that man?

[Redhelen72]

Why after months of complaining that you don't like him, he keep pestering you, he gropes at you.

do you then go in a car and have dinner with him.

Who paid for dinner?

Your Mum is right to be concerned, as some of us had already told you we were also concerned regarding that man. Mum is right

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you have said before that he makes you feel uncomfortable at times, and that you think he is 'obsessed' with you and that if you got a 'real' boyfriend you probably would have nothing to do with the old guy. Why have dinner with him, do you want him  to think you enjoy spending time with him? 

It's totally normal for your mum to be concerned - from what you've written on AB, you give out very mixed signals!

[Peter Pedant]

we (I) cant live your life for you

which makes me quite glad considering what you get up to

[abbeylee90]

He paid. Oh quite a few people said I might be like the daughter he never had.

So you complain constantly about him and then accept dinner.

Can you not see how that looks 

[Redhelen72]

Maybe your mum is concerned for the man as you are not being fair to him

[Floko]

I once  thought so, Abbey, but the more you. tell us about the man, the more I agree with your Mum.

[abbeylee90]

Well I've never had an older man do that with me. Do you think I should make excuses to stop seeing him?

Also why I asked if I had a boyfriend would I see him less meaning I have no plans to have him as a boyfriend.

[abbeylee90]

I only told my mum about lift today.

[Neveracrossword]

Quite a few people also said he was a creep, a man's man... and you don't like him grabbing at you, you don't like him making you feel uncomfortable, you don't like him being obsessed with you.  Are you trying to look for the positives, just because he's around, offers to take you out and so on? 

[DTCwordfan]

does he have a good Pedigree?

[Redhelen72]

You don't need to make excuses as you will never remember what excuse you have used.

thank him for his offer of dinner, lunch etc but no thank you 

[abbeylee90]

Yes that's and people are slagging him off in genral

[Redhelen72]

Hmmmmm

"Quite a few people said I might be the daughter he never had"  I doubt that very much.  I`d keep him at a distance if I was you

[Moorea7]

You have so many threads running, Abbey, so you probably didn't see my question as to how your mother is coping after her op.- she will need some help from you?  As regards the man from the Kennels, it seems unfair if you "lead him on" have dinner, etc.and then complain about him.
