Eyes for You
Originally uploaded by kittykatlounge

Generally speaking, I don't really like to be touched. It's a matter of common knowledge amongst my friends that I don't like strangers bumping into me or crowded bars that cause people to lean on me or knock me around. I like a good 2 feet of personal space or I start to get extremely annoyed and agitated.

What I usually don't admit is that I'm not really comfortable with people I know touching me until I'm VERY comfortable with them as a person. Hugs, kisses on the cheek, the casual pat on the arm cause a weird sense of anxiety and awkwardness for me. Don't get me wrong, I hug my friends and family all the time, but when I first meet someone, I do all I can to avoid personal contact without offending the other person. I don't know why I'm this way, but I think it has something to do with the fact that my mom was never a big hugger and my dad and his brothers were notorious ticklers...you know the type, the ones that hold you down and tickle you until you scream or piss yourself (I did the former, not the latter). Now, I think of tickling as a small type of assault and the quickest way to extremely piss me off. No one I know likes to be tickled and most ticklers will NEVER stop when you ask them to.

ANYway, despite my aversion to touch, I do miss it as a single woman. I miss a man's palm moving up and down my spine just before drifting off to sleep. I miss knotting fingers together as we stroll down the street. I miss the slight graze of fingertips across my forehead as he sweeps an errant lock of hair out of my eyes. I miss the feel of a palm resting at the nape of my neck as we wait in line at the movie theater and that same hand drifting to the small of my back as he ushers me through the door. Hell, I even miss a playful squeeze of my knee in the car as we drive to a party or to the grocery store.
