I have become friends with a female neighbour over the past year and a half. She knows my story long-ago married, two male lovers over the past 20 years; my last lover relationship morphing into a platonic relationship for the past 5 years.
I have/had become quite enamoured with the Woman, sat and held her hand when she was dumped for being too old, helped her make a career transition. When her 20 year-old cat died, I took charge sent her to work while I looked after mew-mew, burying her in the garden and cleaning up all the cat paraphernalia. When Woman came home she said she would never forget what I did.
Throughout the next few months we continued a pleasant platonic relationship, dinner twice a week evening tv, nothing more. However- the great qualifier, I have become somewhat smitten. Now the trouble begins.
Last week-end we had dinner, shared a bottle of wine. Afterwards we were in the kitchen while she had a smoke and I said,"you should know I think about you all the time". Her reaction (in a raised voice) was; "don't think that, I only think of you as a friend. Then continued while I sat open mouthed;"I want a straight man, I know you were married but you have gay boyfriend" Then to reinforce my status as she said something else she pounded her clenched fists together in a rhythmic pounding motion; clearly indicating her view of the fact I had either fucked or been fucked by a man.
I said good-night, she sort of touched my arm as I left. I have never made any physical moves on her. Always the perfect gentleman.
I have been quite shaken by her reaction, three days later I have not heard from her (unusual as she usually calls last thing at night).
So did I do something I should not have? Was her reaction reasonable given the last year and a half? I feel like hell and think she is being very childish; especially considering I'm mid 50's, she is mid 40's.
Any opinion?
