I have to love him?

How I dealt with an unwelcome sexual advance

Contributed to the Sentinel

One of the basic rules of Christianity is to love one's neighbor. I always thought I could follow this rule easily. Then one evening a male friend, who is married, struck up a conversation with me near my car and tried to kiss me.

At first I was so stunned that I simply refused, quickly got into the car, and drove away shaking like a leaf. My disturbance increased as I pondered the fact that we are both married and have children. What was also upsetting was that I had deeply admired and respected this man.
