I live nearby and see them multiple times a week.They have a large social network of other married couples as friends, many of whom I’ve known since childhood, as they were the parents of my own friends, classmates, neighborhood kids, etc.In the past couple of years, I’ve started to feel uncomfortable around one of their male friends.He has never done or said anything specific, but I can’t help but just feel this … icky vibe when I’m around him.It’s little things, like just leaning in too close when he talks to me, holding eye contact too long, and “teasing” in a way that if it was coming from a man my age I would perceive as definite flirting.My parents are planning a weekend vacation at the end of the summer at an Airbnb.
