Am I just paranoid or do I have a valid reason to be concerned?

[Afraid of the Light]

Hi. I joined this site to get advice about a new neighbor I'm afraid of. The thing is he's never actually done anything to me but he just creeps me out. He's an old man living alone, and he just moved here. He lives five houses down from me. When I'm walking my dog, he stops and says hi to me, pets my dog, asks me about school, etc. Now he could just be friendly, but why is an old man talking to a high schooler? The other day he asked me how old I am, I said nearly 16. He said wow you're really getting to be a young woman. I remember when I was 16, let's see, more than 50 years ago. Want to guess how old I am?" I didn't know why he was asking me that and thought it was weird, I said, well obviously over 66." He sort of laughed and said, "69, Emily. I'm 69." Now I get that a lot of people are 69 but is there a double entendre there, like 69 meaning oral sex, or am I just paranoid? He's never even touched me. And I haven't told anyone because I know people take those allegations very seriously and he didn't even do anything but I am just creeped out by him. Any advice please?

He's PROBABLY just a lonely old man, however, I'd let someone you know personally know how you feel, and make sure that you don't step into his yard or house ever. If he makes you feel uncomfortable, you are not obligated to be his buddy.

Unfortunately, if he is just looking for someone to talk to, a lot of other creepy older guys are making it hard for him to look good. I understand why you're scared.

I see what you mean, personally I would have gone straight into panic mode, but my instincts do not always provide the best reaction.
In reality, he's probably just bored and lonely, looking for someone to talk to though the 69 thing is probably a coincidence, I would still be wary. Talk to him, maybe a little more and if he keeps dropping subtle hints, then you should avoid him.

I get the problem. Although I do not think he's a creep, just don't do anything you do not want. Don't go to his home and do not tell him things you do not want him to know.
In my opinion, from what I read he's just being nice and all :)

Thanks for the advice, guys. I think he's probably harmless but it's just the way he talks to me, I'm getting to be a woman and the 69 thing. And the fact that he lives alone and just moved here. I guess I'm not being fair to old men but whatever.
