Uncomfortable Touch

31/August/2025 in Kraków

A week ago I was at an event

A woman asked me to touch her legs


We were talking

She brought up her recent interest; gym & exercise

She kept talking and at some point,
she rolled up her short top & showed her belly

Her eyes said;

"Touch it"

"You'll see how much effort I put into fitness"

“I just want to prove it. Nothing more”

“Touch it”


I was hesitant

I wasn't attracted to her in any way

I was afraid of what her next move might be

She noticed my hesitance

Then,
she rolled up her skirt, showing her thigh

She again sent me a suggestive look

This time, I had to reach out my hand & had to let my finger-tip touch her body, out of politeness


It all happened in less than 3 seconds

It was not as unnatural as the impression the readers might get from this writing

It went on quite naturally

But a momentary discomfort was there


A couple of days later

I was at another event

Talking with a woman

First, standing Then, sat on the sofa next to each other

At some point, she moved closer to me and her legs touched mine

Her upper arm touched mine also

Her body warmth was there

I felt uncomfortable 

I didn’t want such a thing from her

Yet I didn’t move away, out of politeness

Then, this discomfort continued for the rest of the night 


............Morning came

I became finally alone, and I thought it's all a life lesson 

A life lesson for me as a man

Highly likely I did the same to the opposite sex — probably more than a few times — and made them feel very uncomfortable, just like I was
