Touchy feely friends

Shocky-FM · 26 Feb 2019 at 13:32

I'd have to say no, have a chat with them about it.

But that's just me if I'm not in a relationship with somebody or trying to be it's just weird imo.

If these are women that are being touchy feely then you'll have to tell them to back off.

Apart from hugging anything else should be offlimits.

Some women purposely be affectionate to annoy your partner. Also some like to get what they can't have.

Do you just mean hugging etc..? Assuming you're talking about friends of any gender then I don't see a big deal with a hug etc.. perfectly possible to love your friends in a platonic sense.

On the other hand if you end up in a situation where there is say one particular person of the opposite sex who is not your partner and who you have these feelings for rather than a whole friendship group then you could be in a dodgy situation. If you ever utter the words "she's my work wife" then I think that is a good barometer that that is the person your partner won't be very comfortable with, likewise if her partner gets a bit worked up, texts/calls a lot because she's gone for a drink after work etc.. then you probably know why.

Ahaha this! OP is lacking in detail a bit.

Are you talking about male and female friends.

My family very much aren't much of a hugging bunch, whereas my partners family are very much so. So whenever there are family events it's always shake hands with the blokes and a hug for the ladies.

I guess there's that odd bloke-hug where you kinda bang shoulders and pat on the back, but that's about it. Saying the word 'touching' does seem a bit odd though.

It's 2019,

Nothing wrong with a semi homosexual relationship with your friends. I make out with my buddies all the time... totally normal.

Wait wut?

Besides it’s not gay if you wear fingerless gloves.

Spiritual Platonic love. Is it possible to love a friend and already be in a loving relationship with a wife or husband? I am happily married, for example. However, I have some amazing friends and I'm sure I love them all in some way. The sort of problem (not sure if this is the right word) is that my friends are all really exorbitant when it comes to displaying their emotions and I am quite often/always getting hugged, kissed and touched by them. I've become quite used to it now but sometimes it leaves me quite confused and unaware and overwhelmed, as to how to respond.

It's just this. Sounds like you never found your close/true friends until later in life and experienced elevated oxytocin levels. Doesn't matter if they're male or female, older or younger, it's all the same. People can be awesome.

Whatever. They call you the soviet because you’re a drunk that smells of cabbage.

There's nothing like a bit of dry humping with your buddies over a few beers and pizza slices.

It's not real love unless everybody is naked.

Platonic love? You been taking those oestrogen supplements again?

Well, as far as the blokes are concerned it usually consists of the big hug followed by a pat on the back and

Yes both. With my mate, it's usually a hug, pat on the back followed by a grabbing of the shoulders with a forceful kiss on the cheek. With some of the ladies, it's just a hug. With the person in question, it's a running of her hand across my shoulders as she is walking past followed by the resting of her head on my breast. At other times it's a kiss on the cheek in such a way I can't avoid it.
All in all this thread delivers.
