Sometimes when I'm with a few different girls I know, they will touch me...not sexually or provocatively or anything, but put a hand on my shoulder, my arm, that kind of thing. It's happened while I'm on dates and also with girls I'm just friends with. I don't know what they mean and I don't know what I'm supposed to do! I feel like I should reciprocate, but since I'm not their boyfriend in these situations, I don't really know what is appropriate or acceptable. What do you think?
How to interpret and react to physical contact...?
some people make better connections and better understand others if there is touch involved. it probably doesn't mean anything, they are just trying to connect with you! it isn't wrong or inappropriate to reciprocate, this is merely communication...but if you feel more comfortable keeping your hands to yourself that if fine too!
Reply:Be careful not to over-interpret their gestures. But if a girl puts her hand on one of your body parts, I don't see any reason why you can't put your hand on top of hers. You can even give it a little squeeze. Make sure and smile while you're doing it.
Reply:I am the kind of person who also will give a touch on the arm whether it is a female friend or male.It doesn't always mean that they might like you in a romantic way (unless they begin to rub you or touch you in an area that proves otherwise)I suggest you just give them a simple touch on the arm or shoulder too.Unless they are making you uncomfortable,then you should tell them that you don't feel right since they have a boyfriend or whatever you are feeling.Good luck;)
Reply:It would be appropriate to do the same kind of touching that they are doing to you, like touching an arm. Just make sure that you don't make any moves that could be thought to be come ons.
