MsG, I believe it is the arm squeeze/ intense eye connection combo that is the jump start.

Without the eyes, the arm squeeze is (generally) just friendly.
Without the arm squeeze, the eye connection is a staring contest.

I find that combo, with a small sideways smile for effect, does the trick every time.

See that's the one problem for guys. Trying to figure out if the girl really meant something by it or if that's just how she is normally. You're just going around confusing us MsG. Guys just have no chance I tells ya.

Allright folks. Seems the morning has brought a mix of conversation and I'd want in, but there seems to be a problem with my communication skills lately. I thought it was the people I was tryin' to communicate with but it seems my perception is clouded by some wierd emotional needs that aren't being met. Just thought I'd fill in a little.

News on photoboy: I decided to ask the photographer about him. Heh. So Jr. High-ish...but I really don't get to talk to him a ton when we work together, so what else is a girl to do. I just wanted some basic answers to see if I should even entertain thoughts of his cuteness and niceness. Answers were mostly TERRIFIC. I mean REALLY TERRIFIC. almost couldn't get better. Except for one. Boy is young-ish. Boo hoo. Photographer is going to mention that I might be interested...but the rest is up to him. If he thinks I'm too old...so be it.

Hi RugBug.

Small of back is harder to get to than upper/mid back. Best when not exactly in front of recipient. But aren't those guy-to-girl? Girls would do arm, or perhaps chest / front of shoulder. Right?

Yes, it is, but it is more used for getting their attention at the same time, which is usually done while they are focused or distracted with something else. Face to face isn't something I am so good at (like our favorite prim and proper medic), it usually just ends up staring into eyes or checking out other facial features. I suppose arm or hand would work then.

Yes, Jimi, good. Except for polluting the lake.

Edit: MSG: Embarrassing, but nice story. Thanks for sharing.

RIMG: Naturally, that's what I meant. You say as much with your absence as you do with your presence.

That actually makes quite a nice insult.

Y'all familiar with ManWithPez? I confess to reading his fly-blogs with glee, particularly the "what I said vs. what I was thinking" ones. So, along those lines, something odd happened to me yesterday, and it went like this:
HK's Hawt-Way-Smart-But-Incredibly-Arrogant-Prick-Co-Worker: "You owe me one." (smirk)
What HK said: "Hmm?"
What HK thought: "Hmm?"

HK's H-W-S-B-I-A-P-C-W: "In the Docs Project, we were discussing the VSDPI DHF and how to get all the information (blah-dee-blah, lots of big words that would bore you even more), and you're name came up as being associated with that project. Before they could volunteer you, though, I said you had better things to keep you busy and so I'd work on it. So you really owe me." (smirk / smile)
What HK said: "Ah. Yes. Thanks!"
What HK thought: "Oh, do tell me how and when you would like me to... satisfy... that debt (insert lecherous thought-look with villainous thought-cackle)."

Now, it's not surprising to me that I would think these things, no no. It's surprising to me that I would think these things so gleefully in conjunction with this particular person. And now I can't look at this guy without snikkering to m myself. I think I can officially declare myself Mentally Damaged. *cackle snort!*

No, I don't know why I'm telling you this. It's been bugging me since yesterday, so I figured writing it down may... help...... *snikker*

Walking into a room or through a door and he lets you go first, but puts that hand on the small of your back to guide you, announcing to everyone you're his. Mmmmmm. It has elements of being able to sweep you up into an embrace, as well. Good stuff.

So question for the guys: I always feel like there is a difference between touching and 'touching with purpose.' One is just greeting or convenience, one is Wowza. Do y'all do that on purpose, or do I read into things too much? And is it the same for you or is any touching (g-rated, mind you) by someone semi-attractive, get you thinking "Hrmmm?"

I'm asking "when does touching mean I'm-into-you" and do you guys do it knowingly. Particularly in reference to new relationships/frienships, etc.

That made me wonder if it's my perception or his action that laces a touch with significance.

Originally posted by Zeek:

The easiest way to stop creepy touching is to flinch and pull back. Make it look reflexive and you've sent the signal that you're in no way interested. That or a stern glance. Just make sure it's very obvious that you're not just looking longingly into his eyes or anything.
