I have a uncle (48) who came to visit me(female 25). I was showing him around my condo and he would not enter my bedroom area. what does this mean. this confused me! Could you help me to understand why he did that? Thank You Gems

I mean, maybe, if I had great new drapes or just remodeled or such, but there is something inside me that says an older male, and even more so an older male relative, has no business in my boudoir.
You might not share my scruples, but it sounds like your uncle does.
It might not be rational. It might just be our sexually repressed and sexist society creating unnecessary tensions in our lives, forcing us be embarrassed over nothing and only understanding the world in terms of sex, but the *feelings* of embarrassment and awkwardness are still very much there and very powerful.
The bedroom probably had an association in your uncle's mind with something that should be private. It might not be logical, but unless you have a really good reason for doing so, I'd leave him alone about. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

The first thing I thought of is that maybe he thought that by entering your bedroom he would be invading your privacy. I know when I have people over to my appartment, especially when they are guys, I don't like to invite them into my bedroom because I'm worried I might have a pair of panties laying on the floor.
The other thing I thought of is that maybe your uncle is secretly attracted to you, and was embarrassed to enter your bedroom because it might have given away that he had feelings for you. I hope this doesnt creep you out, but it's the only other thing that makes any sense. I have an uncle like that, he would get jealous when I talked about my bf. He never tried anything on me but I could always sense he was attracted to me. [ buzzie's advice column | Ask buzzie A Question ]
