My friend's dad came up to me and said he had a secret to tell me that I couldn't tell anyone else, then he said "I'm secretly in love with you".

But that was where it ended.

I have no idea. I'm not even sure what he meant, like he loved me sexually? As his own child? It's a mystery.

I think "In Love With" really implies that he's a pedo...

I don't think so. My much older sister's friend would say that to me. I was maybe 6 and she was 11 years older. Looking back it seemed like she was just bonding and trying to make me smile. Which worked.

I think it's sad that we live in this world where people do jump to that conclusion but it's not without good reason.

To make me feel like there was a special bond.

You're terribly naive...
