[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] I don't know how old this giuy was, but if he was in his 50s and 60s, it might help to bear in mind that way back when, if he didn't greet a young woman that way that would have been an insult by many. The dynamics around all of this have really changed a lot very quickly for people around their 60s in their lifetimes. Pedophilia is about people who feel attraction to people who have not yet reached puberty, so unless you look six or seven, I think we can safely rule that out, period, you know? But as well, someone flirting doesn't mean someone has intent to abuse, or even intent to do anything at all besides doing what they see as paying you a compliment or just being friendly. I think had you said this made you uncomfortable and then he kept doing it, or wouldn't back off, or tried to touch you, or called you mean names, then it would have been sound to figure you had a potential or actual situation where your safety was at risk. In a situation like this, based on what you've said happened, it sounds to me like there was nothing to suggest your safety was at risk. Don't know if those kinds of lines help you at all, but that's what I'd throw out there if you're looking for some to assess your safety moving forward. But it also sounds like maybe some of this is coming from what might be an unsafe work situation for you, period? In other words, are you there alone without the ability to ever lock the door? If so, then I'd say that's not a safe work situation, and it's one I'd discuss with your supervisor to remedy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
