Is it normal that my stepdad might be attracted to me?

Well my stepdad has been with my family for about 4 months. He's 39 I think.. And I'm 18 (girl). For some reason I think he's attracted to me. He's always rubbing my thighs and goes further and further up when we sit next to each other on the couch, and it's very uncomfortable. And then when he comes to say goodnight to me when I'm laying in my bed, he'll comb his figures through my hair in a very sexual way it seems. I never really liked him in the first place, he seems really creepy. And I don't want to tell my mom about this, even if I do I doubt she'll believe me. What should I do?? IIN?

    He is a downright creeper. It is more normal for him to be attracted to you than your real dad, because he is not blood-related to you. It is never weird for a man to be attracted to a woman, but if he is doing all this messed up stuff, tell your mom, or another family member. Remeber, if someone tries to touch to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, thats no good. its your body, no one had the right to touch you if you dont want them to. so what do you do? first, you say no, then you get outta there! most important, you gotta tell someone you trust, like your parents, a teacher or a police officer.

    Get him on video and then see what your mum thinks about that. Im guessing she'll help him pack his bags.

    Tell him to break up with your Mom and you'll go out with him.
    Then obviously don't.
    Win win.

    I would first of all say "Please stop. I don't like people touching me" and see what happens. Post again if something worse happens. Good luck. Don't let anyone take advantage of you.

    No, you need to tell your mom. Make sure you stay away from him. Call the police if it doesn't stop or you feel the situation getting worse.

    No, this isn't normal. Absolutely tell your mom. This guy is a pervert.

    I have nieces and goddaughters about your age. I've never touched their thighs. It would never occur to me to do that. If I did touch them in a way that made them uncomfortable, I'd be able to tell, and I'd apologize immediately. I definitely wouldn't do it over and over.

    You say you're afraid your mom wouldn't believe you. I'm guessing that means that he doesn't touch your thighs when she's around. That means he knows what he's doing is weird. If he thought it was normal, he'd be touching your thighs all the time. Tell your mom. I'd be surprised if she doesn't believe you. Even if she (says she) doesn't believe you, it'll all be out in the open.

    This guys groping hands are, I think, testing things. But even if innocent he is touching you without your consent and it makes you uncomfortable.

    I think you should go straight to your mom. Just describe what he is doing and that you want it to stop, and that she should tell him. The point isn't that he's up to anything (though he may be) but that you don't want to be touched by him.

    Otherwise, be clear and direct with him. Tell him, for example, "I don't want you touching me." If he does, say: "Don't touch me," or "I didn't say you could do that" or "Take your hands off my legs." Etc. If he sits beside you, move away.

    Make it clear in what you say and do that he does not have permission to touch you. If he persists after you have told him, tell your mom that she needs to do something or you will go to the police.

    If you need support you can talk to the police or a woman's health organization or anyone you trust.

    In his head this is probably foreplay before he actually tries to rape you, I would tell your mum straight away.

    uh, like my advice would be "RUN BITCH RUN!!!!" but really that shit is super creepy, id tell him to cut that shit out and tell your mom this too, and tell someone you know, friend, dont keep it quiet. or it could get worse

    This prolly seems like an impossible situation. and he prolly seems like a real bad guy. but there are ways out of this. first, you have options. dnt just try and ruin their relationship. that will ruin your credibility. if things get worse he can just say your spoiled. you need to document wats happening with a video/audio recorder. talk to him about why hes doin this to you and your mother. get it on tape but DONT THREATEN him with it. if hes the only one who knows about the evedence you are putting yourself in danger. if you feel tha need take it to someone you trust. an adult. or tha police. please protect yourself!

    Tell him that when he acts in a sexual manner like that it makes you feel uncomfortable. Ask him not to do it and if you see he does, don't put up with it. Of course your mom should know too.. He obviously doesn't sound like he's faithful at all. Hopefully your mom is receptive to you when you tell her and doesn't stay with him with you living in the house like that.

    I think it just wants to be in power over someone more vulnerable and younger than him, rather than being genuinely attracted to you.

    Hide a tape recorder/a smart phone that can record voices near where you two usually are when alone and try to capture what happens on audio.

    You MUST tell someone else about this (a friend, your birth dad [if he's around], a counsellor, or even your mum). He could well try plying you with alcohol or raping you next.

    If your mum doesn't believe you, I think you need to find somewhere else to live or accidentally on purpose sabotage your mum's relationship with that pig
