This is a bit of a weird ask and I hope Im overthinking it but today a male colleague touched me and I feel weird about it

I was showing him a flip chart and he was sat down I was standing. He went to grab the page and as well scooped a little bit of my dress with him as well as touching my public area. It was only for a millisecond and I didn't say anything at the time but is it possible he didn't know he'd done that? I think I'd be more than aware if it was the other way round

I agree. It happens and actually I almost welcome tactility. If it's not sexual but just "connecting"... (sorry I know I need to explain that) then it should relax barriers and not be an issue. I'm 54 so maybe I'm way out of touch but there is a huge divide between sexual fingering (extreme statement but it makes the point ) and someone communicating with just hands which may include a touch on the arm or grabbing a hand to make a point. And if I am out of touch.. I apologise.

I can bet if he did realise, he felt terribly embarrassed.

Actually I'm going to go out on a lonely limb and say if more people relaxed and actually connected in a non sexual way with heir friends, colleagues etc., maybe we wouldn't see issues where there was no intent to cause an issue.... it's lonely in this branch
