I have been taking guitar lessons from an older married man. Sometimes he says things to me like "look at me when you're playing", but says it in a turned on way. I've also caught him staring inappropriatley at my chest. I got really embarrassed at the last lesson because for no reason at all, while I had two of my fingers on the D chord, he put his hand on top of my hand; wouldnt let go, and slid our hands down the entire guitar all the way from the top to bottom, and very slowly. Now I'm not an idiot, and know this wasnt part of the lesson. I know my face was all red and when I looked up at him, he looked guilty.
Now I don't know what to do, because he had been offering the lessons for free. He's also my friends boss, and I don't want to say anything. What should I do?

Men like him are the reason things like the Sex Offenders Register are out there and you do not want to be one of his victims. The other thing you need to remember is that you are probably not the first girl he has done this to. If he was this comfortable to perv over you, he's probably done it time and time before.
Stop going to the lessons and find yourself a new tutor who DOESN'T try to take payment in perverted ways from his students. After all, you don't know how far he may try to go.. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

I have always learned that one should follow their gut instinct, if it makes you uncomfortable and you suspect he has the wrong intentions you are probably right.
