No it was certainly the context. As a youth it was kind of a shock to learn that there were magazines that had women pregnant and spraying their milk all over the place. Sure its a beautiful experience for women in general, but I don't want to look at them nude. I think my fear of actually impregnating someone also tends to make me find it less then attractive.

Interesting, rich boy eh? ;)

No, barely lower middle class. My grandfather was a surgeon though, so he fronted the bill.

But that's one of the best parts!

Dear God no. To each their own, theres something for everybody for a reason.

Not me, I've only ever kissed a real person lol.

What a great guy, getting you through school like that.

Haha, I guess I'm just 'special' then.

It's okay, I knew someone who used to avidly make out with dolls.

Yeah, he's one those hard to know, very much non touchy feely guys, but with a heart of gold that you usually don't see.

Ok now that is creepy.

Touchy feely is over-rated. It's actions like that which really show people care.

I'm very sure he did and didn't care. Funnily enough they didn't last long together and he seemed to be a bit of a cunt towards her. Anyway that was over 3 years ago and I've long gotten over it. I've since forgiven her and still talk to her on the rare occasion.

Again, I'm not sure how I would of handled something like that, but I don't know if I would be able to talk to her again if it was me. It's nice to know that there is no animosity between you two, and that you can still talk to her every now and then.

That's quite sad, you're both adorable and interesting. I can understand past relationships can sour potential hopes for future ones, but I don't think you will be single forever.

i don't think love is a possibility for me.

I think I'm incapable of having a normal relationship, I always feel like having a significant other is extraneous and the whole "other half" thing doesn't apply to me. But thats how it is for aromantics.

whoaa
 

Man this is some crazy stuff some people go through in relationships

Not really.

Aww, dear. You're the sweetest. I love you. :)

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything until someone is even marginally nice to me in public, at which point I get a bit weird about the whole thing. I don't like the way I feel or behave when I have even the mildest interest in someone else, and I don't think I've developed enough as a person to be able to share that much of my life with another person. I'm considerably happier when I am on my own and not thinking about it than I am when the possibility is presented. Introversion sounds worse than it is, but it works fine for some people.

Well, it doesn't bother me so much. I haven't hugged anyone other than my grandmother in years, so unless I'm naked I prefer to pass on the touching and feeling.

For real? I'm the least affectionate person ever and even I like cuddling :)

Well I'm also a hermit with little to no real world contact.

That part reminded me of this scene.


I understand that feeling of being happier on my own though, I go through periods where I pull away from others so I can get that feeling back and it's wonderful.

Genuinely? I would never have guessed that. Any reason why you don't go out much? I'm a hermit these days as well but I'm broke :(.

There's only like 4 people on this planet who I'm comfortable hugging. I just don't like being touched by people that I'm not close to.

Bring it in, BD! :p:

I don't think I have any form of relationshipophobia (It's a word now) but I also understand feeling more comfortable on your own.

I'd say I want the usual in life. Marriage, kids etc. Whether it's a good thing or a bad though, I just don't feel motivated to hurry the process up of actually seeking these things.

One day I may realise I have to speed it up a little and actually be more pro-active but really, being single doesn't cause me any problems. I'm not someone who needs company, sex, commitment and closeness. I'm happy on my own, I both love and feel I need my own space (and thats seriously the biggest hurdle for me when it comes to relationships) and not once have I even gone out with the sole intent of desperately searching for someone to hook up with. I really do not need sex enough to make a point of actively going out to get it.

How content I am to be single could very well potentially become an issue one day, I don't know, but I'm not currently unhappy.

Wait.. You'se a GIRL??

no wonder you answered my VM ^_^

Bring it in? Or bring it on? Haha.

Today, a friend hugged me and I felt like saying "GET OFF OF ME". I was actually really uncomfortable :(

Just be open about it hun, it's perfectly normal to not liking people touching you.

Haha yeah, what made you think I was a dude?


Visitor message?

I told my boyfriend this when we started going out and he responded with "You've obviously never had a real hug, then!" :laughing:

That's what I'm talking about. Hugging is one of the only times I enjoy someone being in my bubble haha.

I've learned to appreciate hugs. I used to be all like "Eww ick get away", but then after time I realized it's all just about human contact, and we are all in this life together whether we like/undertand it or not. I even hug/get hugs from my male friends from time to time.

When a hug gets all sensual... thats another story.

Well, being broke does help, but I've sort of fallen out with all but one of my friends in the last few years and am sick of working the same fast food jobs and drinking way too much with people I don't really like and feeling socially awkward 95% of the time I'm out of the house, etc, etc, etc and am...taking a sabbatical from life. I do this every few years, but at almost three years this is the longest I've ever been in my hermitage.

You remind me of Scruffy the Janitor from Futurama:

Nothing really i just tend to assume everybody is a guy :p:

(Not that you write like a guy or anything)

You girls tend to be more friendly and nice and more open to talk about anything :)

It's easy to assume that everyone on the Internet is a guy. I do it too!

Does he give you lot's of cuddles? Do you mind it with him?

Two words

boner hugs

Yeah I'm pretty much like that too. I love hugging my kids but not many other people. I've sort of gotten used to hugging friends hello but it's never come naturally for me. I HATE massages. Can't stand having strangers touching my skin. I am especially sensitive to contact when I'm stressed. It's almost claustrophobic.

Yeah, all the time :). At the beginning it was strange for me but I got used to it and now I love it. I wish I could cuddle him all the time now, lol.

Are great because they often lead to sex.
