Friendly gesture or inappropriate?

It made me a little uncomfortable but he tends to just be a friendly guy and I’m sure didn’t mean anything by it but I did find a way to get out of the conversation and move on to talking to others. Was this weird or just harmless/friendly? Maybe he wasn’t even aware he was doing it? I doubt there were any intentions but want to make sure I’m not sending any mixed signals. I’m married BTW.


Having a similar experienced with father at kid's sports events. We have had a couple of friendly chats that sort of progressed to "philosophy" of life and what it all means. Anytime I make a point he agrees with, or thinks is really interesting, he reaches out and taps the top of my head. Just a little tap, as in bing!, on the center of the top of my head. And anytime he makes a point that he thinks is really good, as in "right?!" he taps his own head. The problem is last weekend, I reached across and tapped the top if his head when he made a good point about choices in life. Was it wrong to do so?


Tapping the top of someone ‘s head feels like the opposite of sexy


I would literally swat someone’s hand if they tapped my head.
