There's no such thing as "normal", really. I'm a little strange, and my boyfriend is equally as strange in his own way. Some of that could be due to him being from another country - different cultural norms and such that might be weird to me but not to him.

Hey, it's good to see someone with many of the same quirks as myself. Yeah, that's the conclusion I've come to, myself. If they're worth pursuing, they'll enjoy my weirdness, not be turned off by it. I'm pretty sure I'm just going through some post-20 angst, looking at the world, my life, and my future and wondering, "what the flying fudgemonkey am I doing?" Cue confusion and stress.

One of my biggest idiosyncrasies (if you want to call it that), is that I don't like the feeling of being touched. I really like my personal space, and I was happy to meet someone who respected that and who waited until I got to know him better before going forward.

Interestingly, I'm the exact opposite. I thoroughly enjoy touch, all touch. And I mean, beyond a sensual, sexual way. I just mean, I enjoy casual physical contact with those I am close to, friends, family, whatever. I don't really feel like I'm a friend of someone until I can hug them, but I know this is NOT the case with most of America, so I just have to convince myself that just because they're not wanting a hug, does not mean they aren't my friend. I know there's some psychological oddity there, but hey, at least I recognize it.
