I haven’t done shit today!
I met a colleague recently for the first time. He is at a senior position and wanted to discuss some things about the work I do. In the conversation he would now and then touch my back. I feel it’s weird. I am not sure if he is being polite and friendly or just a pervert. I have never met him before and some of the conversation does seem genuine, but it feels like he is repeating the conversation off late. Do guys get touched too on their backs? How do other women give clear and polite signals not to be touched?
Sing the don’t touch me there song. Or just be straight up and say you’d prefer he doesn’t touch you...
Do the needful
Check if he gets an erection everytime he touches you. If yes, then he is a pervert
You should already know the answer. Asking here is asinine. Go figure it out yourself and stop relying on others to create basic boundaries for you. Also you overvalue politeness and agreeableness. Sometimes you need to say the truth even if it’s rude or not socially erect. Just tell him not to touch your back. Jesus Christ. It’s so simple. You can’t really be this helpless, so stop acting like it. Decide how you feel and what you want, and then enforce it. You’re not a child.
You created a username called ‘Donttouch’ ... I think you know the answer.
I had a similar encounter. Guy used to stalk me around and asks for hugs in a friendly manner if no one is looking. Was very difficult to get rid of him. I think guys try to act smart at times thar we get confused.
Bring up your fictitious boyfriend a lot in the conversation. If he's half decent he should stop. Or flinch a bit.
A clap on the back or shoulder in congratulations is common between men. This translates to a half-hug between men and women. (Some affirmation goes with it while you do that, like I'm so happy for you, etc.). At work with men it's really no different, with women/men I just lean in instead and affirm instead, unless it's someone I know very closely.
It's totally okay. You should do the needful and revert back to him.
