So I was in the airport, minding my own business. And since everything is technology right now, so is stuff inside the airport. That stuff is convenient for me (30ish F) and I adapt to it quite fast, but not for the older generation.

I saw someone (65ish M) struggle with the imigration (it was auto) oand the staff wasn’t around, so I help them a bit. He were so grateful he tells a bit about his life and he gave me a bar of chocolate. We exchange contact there (this is where I think my mistake start)I thought he was just being nice and want to keep in touch so I give my contact.

Then in next few months he ask my help several times to fill in imigration forms cause he said he doesn’t understand. He got 3 kids (he brag about them sometimes), I have no idea why none of his kids can help him but I don’t want to probe. And it’s easy anyway so I just help him. Then few days ago he said he’s near my area and ask me to meet him. He said he want to give me some coffee beans he sold (he said he has few factories selling these expensive beans). While at it he ask my help to buy a foreign sim card and register it for him using his ID. So I understand why he want to meet me, cause this registration is another online thingy with face verification and stuff. It’s complicated for my parents so I understand why he need my help.

Boy was I wrong.

Once I meet him, he kiss my left and right cheek, which is normal in some part of my country but not between man and woman. Usually it’s only between woman. That should be my 1st flag but I’m stupid that way. I’m feeling a bit weird so I tried to cut the meeting short and left. He ask me to accompany him to casino, help him hold his coin. At this point I feel so cheap. And he leave again by kissing left and right cheek. And my forehead. And he inhale hsi breathe deeply while kissing my forehead??? That’s not normal right???

I doubt myself so much, I start giving him the cold shoulder but I feel a bit bad cause I thought I might being mean to someone who might just have good intention? But I feel my forehead is so dirty even until now when I’m writing this.

What amazed me is when I tell this story to my girlfriends, who I think might give me affirmation that I’m not wrong, just laugh at my stort and call me naive. They do this repeatedly, calling me naive and I’m too pure or too kind. And they continue with “if it’s me, I’ll do …” .

It turned out I just received more confirmation that I made one mistake after another.
