I tried to calm myself and told myself he was just checking me out physically and that was OK, I was just over-reacting. He gave me a bracelet - I kissed him on the cheek to say thank-you - he said Oh no, one on the lips please - I did - why did I, I didn't want to? He asked to hold my hand - I did yet felt uncomfortable. He then asked me if I wanted to have a baby - I said of course not I am nearly 46! We went for a walk and it was quite secluded, he said he had taken me there to have his wicked way with me, but smiled while he was saying it as if it was a joke. I told him it was a good job I had my steel toe cap boots on them. We then sat on some rocks there were other people around. Again I kept thinking I was just over-reacting. He held my hand and then let go to point at something. He then didn't rehold my hand but put his hand on my knee - he took it off again and said "whoops sorry". He then wanted to take my photograph, I at last found my voice to say no. We parted to go home and today I e-mailed him to say I didn't want to meet him again - he said it was a shame as he'd felt turned on after meeting me. I feel revolting, repulsed. I went to the supermarket this morning and felt that everyone was looking at me up and down like he did. I don't know if I am just over-reacting - when I think of him I can still smell his aftershave, I don't want to have that smell in my head.

I am soooo sorry you had to go through this

#1 - Good for you for going on the date!
#2 - No, I don't think you are overreacting.
#3 - You handled it very well and he sounds like a big jerk.
#4 - This is the guy who is going to be a THERAPIST???? I almost don't believe that now.
It's easy to make a connection with people over the phone or over email, but in person it's a whole other deal....this guy sounds very pushy to me...first dates are "getting to know you"...he was lucky you were kissing him on the cheek - how dare he say on the lips please?
Some men are such
.....insert your own preferred bad word here!
For the next time, please make sure you meet in a very public place, like for coffee or a drink. Coffee or a drink only take 30 minutes and then you're out. If you like the person you can make other plans.
To get rid of the smell, try getting some Carmex, mentholated lip balm, it comes in a little blue pot. It has a very strong smell and is very good for getting your mind off of other smells. Or vicks Vapo Rub - a drop of it under your nose.
Do you have a T you can call to talk about this this week?
