Have you ever...?

As a single person, you don't get touched. You don't even realize how important it is until someone touches you (in whatever capacity that encompasses) and you find yourself hypersensitive to their touch.

How does that make you feel? Do you welcome it? Or wish they'd bugger off so because it makes you too cognizant of what you're missing?

I know this is a weird blog, but I'm single and I wonder things.

I'm also single by choice for at least 10 years.

For me, it would depend on his ability to touch you in a way that will welcome the affection and who know's, you just might like it and want more.

Well okay, but what if you don't even know if he's single? What if he's someone that you work with or even if he's your chiropractor?
No guts, no glory, lol. Just be sure to run an extensive background check on him before you decide. Lol. Just kidding.wink
lol, I know what you mean. So one vote for go for it. banana
And follow your gut instincts. Be sure to be careful and as observant as possible.
Hey Chatty guy. Your'e right it's not. It's an expression my mother would use at times. I was also born in England and it just sounded appropriate.

So what about you?
I'm careful, but I'm a human and touch-starved. rolling on the floor laughing
Me?
Italian heritage from several generations born in America.
Well I'm sure the Italians have a few expressions of their own. Ever find yourself using any?
Agreed. Personal space is important and shouldn't be violated, although having said that, many Americans are oblivious to the concept.

But what if the person touching you is attractive, but you don't know if they are available? Is it okay or would you rather they kept a distance?
I would embrace a touch daydream

I'm not available and thankfully I haven't had to push someone away who wanted to get friendly.
If you are unaware that he has a wife or girlfriend, you shouldn't feel guilty because he was the liar
mmm I do not feel deprived of touch confused

In fact now if someone strange touched me I would give him--or her a Geordie left hook laugh

I suppose it is what you wish for in life as to how you would respond to touching teddybear
I have a phobia of being touch.

Could it be because i'm single all these years? idk banana
Feels good. It is funny you write this, I just noticed this the other night. Certain touches feel much better than others.

For example, when somebody runs their hands through your hair....while touching your scalp.

or...

Something as innocent as somebody deliberately touching your arm...that you feel attracted to. You know that she is not repulsed by you...otherwise not only would she not talk to you, but she for sure would not even touch you. So, a touch can feel good but also mean a lot.

...in my opinion
I worked with someone who was very touchy feely, but always with the back of his hand. I felt like a daughter receiving affection even though we were much the same age.

I worked with another chap who would grab and dig his fingers into my arm. It felt aggressive and it hurt, even though it was always under the pretence of banter.

It really depends upon the type of touch. One type may remind me of what I'm missing, another may remind me of what I'm not.
Ïn Spain when you go out socially you are hugged and often kissed on arrival, hugged and kissed when you leave, by a dozen or more people and I've got used to it now although I used to be quite uncomfortable with it, how very English of me. I love to be hugged by people I like and care about and have been known to chase after them saying hey we forgot to hug goodbye laugh
I'll have what OLT is having!

I am a very tactile person and for me the touch is very important.

Also the hugging and the kissing as it is the custom here in Spain

Joe Biden is obviously a touchy feely guy. It just shows he's more of a human being than most past presidents.

Some people just have the Bad Touch thing going on, but some others have good touch thing goin..
I think it's all shown in attitude before the touch goes down, basically in the attitude of how intrusive a person is in general..
As a recluse I have wanted a shirt that shows a bloody jawed wolf that says, Do I LOOK cuddly? For some reason in my life, everyone wants to hug me.roll eyes sigh There is something I have noticed with women especially. There are some, like my mom, that when they hug you, you feel all tension fade away and enveloped in caring. And those who hug and it feels more like hugged by a tree.
Lots depend on the toucher. Some times a pat or hand on a shoulder is welcome. And some times, like getting bit by a bug.
I find with age, touch is less desired. My guy and I are not overly demonstrative. He because lacked it growing up. Me cause just being together is enough.
I miss my dog. She had a way that to hug her, all aches fell away. I guess it is the aura thing. If they match, touch is fine. Not and leave me alone. I hate shaking hands. Why cant we bow like Asia. Germy hands dont appeal to me.
