Confession from a Barista Who's into Littling

I've been working at the local coffee shop for about two years now. I'm in my early thirties and have found myself becoming quite interested in DDLG dynamics as an adult, especially since I started seeing the lifestyle more openly represented online and among friends who are open to such kinks. I don't talk much about it at work or with most people; it's a private interest for me. A few months ago, a regular customer, a man in his mid-forties, started asking me about my personal life more than usual after our interactions ended. It was clear he had noticed something different since I started wearing my little-space headwear and carrying around small stuffed animals as accessories at work. We talked over the phone once or twice to get a sense of each other's interests and boundaries before anything else happened. Eventually, we agreed on an in-person meet-up outside of work, but still kept it subtle by meeting for lunch instead of right after my shift ended. That day marked our first time engaging with some roleplay elements that were consensual and explicit beforehand, basically the adult version of what you might see as a kid playing pretend with friends who are into similar themes. Reflecting on this experience now, it feels like something I did without fully considering how others around us might perceive such behavior. We made sure to keep things subtle and respectful to our surroundings, but there's an underlying worry that my casual engagement in these activities might have raised eyebrows or even caused mild discomfort for someone watching from afar. I haven't brought up this concern with him directly because the experience was consensual and enjoyable for both of us. However, it's left me questioning how far one can safely push boundaries without risking judgment from those who aren't familiar with DDLG dynamics in an adult context.
