ps to old man

After reading my post again, and then reading some of the comments left I thought I left out one thing. I have always enjoyed "old people" I mean as far back as I can remember I would visit with the elderly and I worked at retirement homes and have volunteered loads of times in my teens and 20's. Even my friends know I'll stop and chat with the "old one". To this day my Mom will periodically say "you always liked older folks and you sister was nervous around them" So, I guess that is why I wonder why I didn't really want to talk to this man. And I am still thinking about him. Weird.

you're probably still thinking about it because of just that - that in any other context you would have been glad to talk with him. but honestly, i think sometimes instincts are good to follow - and if you were creeped out, better safe than sorry - even if all it avoided you was some awkwardness.

It's sad that he just went through all of that--but you can't help how you felt. Obviously your gut was kicking in. I wouldn't worry about it too much. He probably just wanted someone to talk to...
