So this afternoon I was out walking the dog, down a quiet country lane I've walked down numerous times, at the end of the lane there's an old bungalow where a batchelor farmer lives, I've often passed the time of day with him whenever I see him out around the house 'nice weather, could be worse', 'lovely dogs, what do you feed them' mainly that type of thing.
Today when I was passing I waved hello as usual and he came over and started chatting to me, he was asking me all sorts of questions, firstly about marriage and how do I find married life, had a chat about religion, farming, dogs, how is husbands family and this one and that one, then he started talking about women and I kind of started to feel the teeniest tiniest bit uncomfortable, I had my jacket tied round my waist and a tshirt on and I felt he kept looking at my chest but thought I was imagining it, then he was telling me about a woman he saw in a shop the other day and she had a low cut top on with no straps and she wasn't as big in the boob area as me and would I wear stuff like that......before I could really take it in he asked me if my husband got up in the morning would I be shy walking round naked....by this stage I'd sort of laughed everything off and said I must get back got a casserole in the oven.....he finished the conversation by saying 'so you're not going to show me your t!ts then'......Of course I should have told him off and not to talk to me (or anyone) like that but I just said 'no, why the hell would I' and walked off.
So like I say, I'm not quite sure what to make of it, I'm a bit creeped out and feeling slightly, well I don't really know. I'm sort of laughing, he's a 77 year old man...but it's still creepy!! Husband isn't home yet so I haven't been able to tell anyone, hence I had to write it down here and get some wol opinions.
I'm not going to do anything by the way (apart from avoid walking past his house for the forseeable future), he does have a reputation for being 'a bit odd' but I've always thought that was just the way a local community sees an elderly batchelor!!!
Any thoughts would be appreciated!!
