👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws am i overreacting??

Post image

so i (21 F) never met my dad since i was born and last month he reached out to me the first time over instagram. i feel like he has been very pushy to meet up and i told him i’m not trying to rush things. tonight he was asking me questions to get to know me & this was one of the questions.. i never really grew up with a close male figure in my life but isn’t this question weird? i didn’t even answer the question when he asked i just skipped over it. it’s not his or anyone’s business about my first kiss and it’s weird to ask anyway to me.

How exactly do you know he's really your dad?

Even if he's really OP's dad, that's definitely no guarantee that he has innocent aims anyway. Not that I'm saying you disagree with that.

For sure, dads can be pervy creeps to their daughters too. But this reads to me as 'A guy messaged me on instagram and said he was my dad and then became pushy and pervy.' there's no indication he even is her dad. did she check with her mom if the story checks out?

It's a lot less creepy if it's catfishing stranger, then he's just a normal pedo pervert
