There's a guy in the trailer park here who's become a friend and walks around the park with me and chats with me at times. A very nice man who is legally blind and has an amputated toe from diabetes. His name is Jimmy and he is always asking how my mom is doing, how Woody and I are doing, etc. He is 59 years old, quite kind and neighborly, but I feel as if he wants more than friendship.
It could just be my imagination, but there are things he says and does that make me wonder. For instance, he always gives me a hug when he sees me and he suggested that we go out for dinner sometime. Maybe it's just because he's so friendly though.
He did ask for a kiss and I let him know I didn't think that was a good idea as I am not looking for a relationship. He apologized for coming on too strong and I told him no worries and that I thought he should know. He said ok and then kissed me on the cheek. Hmmm.
He hasn't tried that again, but then when I saw him again a couple days later, he gave me his customary hug and told me my hair smells good. Ok. I didn't think anything of it, but then it seemed like he tried to hold my hand when we were joking. Maybe just my imagination. Now, he wants to go for a stroll on the beach with me.
Hmmmm. Do I dare to do so??? He's a nice guy, but I have no interest him beyond being friends and he knows that I am leaving in a few days. I don't want to lead him on or hurt him either. What to do? What to say?
That is what I ponder this morning!!!
