Was I molested?

[quietWarrior694]

So when I was 15, I was texting this guy (who was 17 at the time) and he started acting kind of weird. Then he initiated sexting. At first, I was like ok sure because I honestly didn't realize what he was doing, but then something he said made me understand what was going on, so I replied "ok bye" really fast and shut off my phone. For at least 3 days later I was unable to eat or do anything with much energy. I just felt so dirty and worthless.
Nearly 6 years later he messaged me on Facebook saying sorry about it, and that he had an unhealthy attraction to me. I stayed distant in the conversation because he made me nervous still, but he kept talking. He went on to say that had he been given the chance he would've slept with me. He then said he was coming back in town and wanted to meet up. I said no, but he was very insistent.
I'm not going to meet with him, but I was wondering if what happened when I was 15 was considered molestation or sexual abuse or anything? I just feel like I was used and I'm trying to get some answers in light of our recent conversation..
Another side note, for years since then, I've been unable to have close relationships with guys without drawing back and shutting them out completely. I feel like there's something wrong with me.
I'd like to be clear here in saying I'm not trying to make anyone look guilty and I'm sorry if it came across that way. I was simply trying to get some answers and I thought the best way to do so would be to be honest about what happened. I'm not going to be meeting with him and I had already decided that way before asking this question. There's no reason to push me down and make me feel worse than I already do just because I have questions about this stuff. I never did anything to any to you...

Is this for real?

No you can't be molested through a phone. And it can be considered harassment especially if you asked him to stop and he didn't but you just hung up.

I think you should win the award for the biggest prude to ever live

No it wasn't molestation or abuse. Maybe harassment at the most, but he didn't make any physical contact with you. Regardless, I think you're highly unintelligent for meeting with him if you're asking if he molested you. Get over yourself. Grow up and quit lying to everyone on yahoo in order to gain sympathy. If it was really that big of a deal to you then why are you meeting him and not calling the police. Simple answer is: don't meet with him genius.

I dont think its considered molestation or sexual abuse because he didnt force you into anything or actually touch you, you just didnt know what he wanted and accidently allowed him to sext with you. You shouldnt feel dirty about it and this shouldnt ruin your relationship with other guys because you realize that it was wrong and you didnt like it. Because of you posting this question, i know that you arent into that kind of stuff so yeah i wouldnt say that you are sick or anything. growing up, you have to experience these kinds of things to know what you are interested in and what you're not. its like coming across porn and realizing you dont like it. just coming across porn doesnt make you a porn addict. so yeah

I feel bad that people feel the need to answer and be mean...I am sorry for that. I feel like it wasn't molestation, but maybe you trusted in someone and got let down. I would definatly block the guy from your facebook, and don't meet up with him. That would be stupid. However this shouldn't be affecting any of your relationships now unless you really did like him back then and just didn't know what to do with your emotions. 15-17 is really not that big of an age difference, so I don;t feel like you should be scared emotionally. Maybe talking to him will help you clear some of these feelings up. Remember no one can hurt you over a phone. Good luck

Honestly, I don't like the way you're trying to make this guy look guilty, since, as I presume, you're trying to do exactly this!

[Mr Kus]

You need to get over it. That wasn't molestation, it was two young people experimenting. Most people at you age do that in person it's normal.

You gotta have other issues you're not dealing with. This is overreaction times a million.
