I need advice on what to do.
I'm either very unwell and delusional, or my instincts are strong, and I'm right. I have a close male friend who I suspect may be attracted to young girls. I will try to give some examples of why I am suspicious.
The first time I suspected something was when I was with another friend and her very young child. He saw my friends young daughter and began to stare, almost like he couldn't help himself. He seemed to be completely in awe of her. That made me feel a little uncomfortable. I tried to forget, but i couldn't. Since that situation, I have been hyper aware of how he behaves around young girls, observing if he behaves the same way around young boys, which he doesn't. What I've noticed is that he seems very uncomfortable and awkward around young children. What I find odd is that if we go swimming, for example, where there are lots of children, he seems absolutely fine, he doesn't look, he just gets on with his activities. But if we are out walking, or in the car, and he sees a young girl, he will specifically look. I've observed him doing this on a number of occasions. He never looks at young boys or elderly people. It's either women or young girls. I feel like I'm going crazy. I was abused as a young child, and so I don't know if this is the issue, I'm also a very paranoid person anyway. But what if my instincts are right? I don't get this feeling with any other male. Just to add, I have confronted him with my suspicions. He was seemingly annoyed at me, but he has said nothing since and still wants to remain friends? Surely that would make an innocent person run for the hills?
