I don't go in search for a relationship, I do things I enjoy and be social. If I happen to find someone interested so be it.

I didn't even mean to flirt. It wasn't supposed to be a flirtatious thing I just... rubbed his cheek. To feel his stubble. I'm an idiot, aren't I?

No, tactile touch is important in establishing a connection between two people. However in this day and age breaking personal space unwarranted can be shocking.

Yea. I screwed up then. I never have a beard, or stubble. It's not 'proper'. I just wanted to feel and suddenly I'm looking like a freak touching him.

I don't think you screwed up, just remember that not everyone is as comfortable as you in touch. Did you ask?

I asked him how often he shaved.

I meant did you ask if you could touch him.

No. Therefore, I'm looking like a jerk. And a desperate one at that.

Well next time you'll know. Unless, of course, he sends out tone of those secret gay memos to alert everyone to your misstep.

I doubt he would. And next time I will know. Don't be a moron.

Most straight men don't know about the super secret gay memos.

I don't even know about the super secret gay memos! I can't even do that right!

Well I wouldn't be too upset seeing as though I just made them up.

Oh. [smiles] I suppose I shouldn't be.

No, you really shouldn't.

Do you ever let people touch you?

Rarely. If I've been drinking, if I initiate. I don't trust most people's touch.

Why not? Do you ever touch other people?

Past history, the locations I spend in time in have taught me touches tend to hurt more then feel good, or have evil motives behind them.

Yes, I do.

So, for example, you would be allowed to touch me, but I couldn't touch you?

Allowed is such a loaded word. I would feel uncomfortable if you were to suddenly touch me. Do you not feel that way?

If it were an instance in which I would have to be touched, no. But, if I knew you, and you touched me suddenly, I wouldn't mind. It's the strangers that get to me.

Well friends and lovers are different, close people who touch you is generally okay. Random strangers coming up to you is a little off putting. Unless you're in one of those discos and everyone is drinking, wearing too little clothing and looking to get laid.

I know him. I just.. I don't think he was expecting that from me. I wasn't expecting that from myself. [sighs] I really just need a friends with benefits.

You could put an advert in the paper.
