In Reply to: Unexpected sexual attention from a married man..... posted by Freaked Out on February 20, 2008 at 7:14 pm:
It is hard to suddenly deal with unexpected inappropriate behaviour. It is outside of our range of normal experience and we don't have a ready response available. It sounds like this incident is affecting your relationship not only with him, but with her too. If you wish to keep the friendship, you might want to discuss the incident with him. (I'd leave her out of it at this point.) If you do, tell him what you told us: that you were startled and didn't know how to react. And that, if he was indeed flirting, that you have no interest. Ask him what it was about. He'll likely be defensive and embarassed. That's okay. Then, set some ground rules for what is appropriate conduct between you. It is perfectly okay for you to have boundaries concerning what is "joking" and what is inappropriate flirting. But both of you need to be clear on what those are. Keith
