You have a totally skewed representation going on! I am a total hugger/toucher/massager/whatever and I cannot understand how people don't like to be touched. Granted, there's a fine line between "Ooo, that's nice" and "Ewwwww! WHAT are you doing??" for any kind of touching, but I am here to represent the hugging masses. *GROUP HUG* Where are all the huggers out there?! You have a totally skewed representation going on!

Seriously, there's this ball of ganglia beneath my left shoulderblade that's been driving me insane for three weeks now. (Dulcinea? Is that you?) I’ll rub your back if you rub mine.

But why was I never informed that "going out for waffles" was a phase of wooing? Or is it just a euphemism? I hug way too often, I think, as a way to offset my childhood where I didn't want to be touched by anyone. Generally, though, the platonic hug represents either "You need comforting" or "Thank you for making me beautiful food that will make me fat(ter).", usually the latter.

I'm a total massage whore. Strange people could walk up to me on the street and I'd let them touch me...if they promised to really work on the knots in my upper back. Silly silly people.

There can be no place in this word for a platonic massage! At least not if we want to keep society as we know it basically functional. omg I HATE the unsolicited massage offer!

I don't even like the way the word sounds. Hugs are cool; no problem. But I will cringe at the offer of a massage. I think this is totally normal. Not a fan of “touch” either.

You also motivated me to check my print dictionary, which gave coquet (verb), coquetry (derived noun), and coquette (N, a woman who flirts), but no equivalent word for men. That said, IME we just get called flirts, which is annoying, because coquette is a sexier word than flirt! Personally I'll not initiate contact play as a rule, but will return with interest (and sometimes interest :twisted: too [you must be single and attractive to me for this to apply]) if you do. That said, I'm very comfortable with just sitting and touching lightly, literally for hours sometimes, and with no specific intention of making a play by either party.
