Didn't say you were	bigwillq	Sep 2012	#14
If it's unwelcome, it's assault. Period.	lastlib	Sep 2012	#40
Then lots and lots of assaults go on at the gay bar.	bigwillq	Sep 2012	#44
I'd have to take someone's word for it......	lastlib	Sep 2012	#55
Wow. Really?	bigwillq	Sep 2012	#59
So this guy's life should be ruined forever because he tried to give a birthday kiss?	blueamy66	Sep 2012	#76
How does your wife feel about it?	CaliforniaPeggy	Sep 2012	#5
No it's not assault.	RiffRandell	Sep 2012	#7
So anyone can just go up to anyone	damnedifIknow	Sep 2012	#9
I'm no shrink, but if she is so traumatized	RiffRandell	Sep 2012	#10
No, I can tell	damnedifIknow	Sep 2012	#11
No, they can't...	pipi_k	Sep 2012	#32
Yes it is assault. DELIBERATE unwelcome contact is assault. /nt	TheMadMonk	Sep 2012	#12
Dude, assault is not contact, but contact might be battery...	yawnmaster	Sep 2012	#57
No its 'battery,' and same if you beat the guy's ass.	elleng	Sep 2012	#17

Not official legal advice.	elleng	Sep 2012	#24
I'd suggest initially giving him the benefit of the doubt. Your wife might go to him and say	nolabear	Sep 2012	#15
Yes sorry to post this.	damnedifIknow	Sep 2012	#23
Get rid of the phrase "that kiss made me uncomfortable"....change it to read,	mrmpa	Sep 2012	#46
But that's totally different. That assumes he was intentionally offensive. That's for Step 2.	nolabear	Sep 2012	#51
To me it doesn't matter what the intent was.........it was wrong & he.	mrmpa	Sep 2012	#67

they weren't giving you advice	CreekDog	Sep 2012	#25
That was a generic "thanks" from the op	emilyg	Sep 2012	#35
No, your screen name is similar to the person who actually gave advice	CreekDog	Sep 2012	#37
Gee - you think this is	emilyg	Sep 2012	#38

It sounds like the guy, at minimum, owes	avebury	Sep 2012	#26
I will post the outcome.	damnedifIknow	Sep 2012	#30

So I decked him.	damnedifIknow	Sep 2012	#42
Disappointing that the guy is still allowed in the gym.	mykpart	Sep 2012	#47
I bet anything you're right about that,	raccoon	Sep 2012	#54
