So you've got an adult male in your life who you like, who likes you and who's willing to spend time with you. That's great, especially if your dad isn't around to provide that sort of company.
One of the really messed up things about our society is how so much is seen in terms of sex. I'm a 60 year-old guy, and I enjoy the company of kids. But a lot of people reading that will immediately think I'm a pedophile, and I have to be very careful about showing too much interest in children when I'm out in public.
Like kwikbix says, it sounds like your friends don't have any adult males in their lives. And that's pretty fucked up, because boys learn what it means to be a man by being around men.
Is it weird I hang out with my uncle often?
