What do you do?

[tcrewme]

I asked this question in the chat room the other night and I thought I would ask it here.

What would you do in the following REAL LIFE situation?

You are walking at the park on a bright sunny Saturday afternoon and you notice a woman/man(depending on your point of view) sitting on a bench reading a book minding her/his own buisness but she/he is flexing and wiggling her/his feet?

What do you do in this real life situation? Do you go over and give her foot a tickle, make a mental note and fantasize later? Just wondering.

Because this situation happened this weekend to me...sort of.
I was at the park and this lady was wiggling her feet while reading a book on the park bench. I was simply watching her foot wiggling and planned on going on my walk but what totally surprised me was this guy, out of the blue, walked up to her foot, gave it a stroke(She jumped) and basically gave her the I couldn't resist line.
Now me, I wouldn't have done that in a million years? You?
I don't think this guy was a tickle person, maybe he was, but I guess another question is. Does our peroccupation with tickling stop us from taking tickling chances?

OK, I have rambled on long enough...Thoughts?

Oh no no no...

Not in NYCity bud! She could have a variety of answers to such an action...only one (inaction) of a pleasant variety...nope...not a good decision. Q

I would never do that to any woman I didn't know,at least in passing.

Well, a completely unknown person IS a big risk. But what if you knew the person? I can remember an amusing incident during my apprenticeship (about 25 years ago; we old farts just LOVE old memories...). The whole bunch of us returned from a skiing excursion in the Alps, and one of my most attractive female co-apprentices had a seat right behind me, in the coach. She had taken off her shoes and wool socks, and she put her tired pantyhosed feet on the back of my seat. Then she said to me and my friend on the neighbor seat: 'Whatever you're thinking about this is okay. But PLEASE don't TICKLE me!'

Well, this was my catchword, I guess. My friend held her ankles, and I tickled her feet. Her squealing was most delightful, and the others around joined into the laughter!

She didn't take any action for that incident, but a few weeks later, we had a date... 😎

I run into this ALL THE TIME on the campus quad, especially this time of year. Though if I were ever ballsy enough to try it, I'd most likely cover it with the "sorry, thought you were someone else" defense. I've wondered casually if this might not be a good way to try to hit on a girl - sort of a conversation starter, more interesting than just "hi" anyway. Any thoughts?

If it were someone I knew, even just as a friend of a friend, then I would most assuredly give a little, or maybe not so little, tickle. I've done it in the past, and would gladly do it again. A total stranger? Well, just thinking about it gets my horns up But horns is different from smarts. A completely negative reaction could result, and that is something we could all do without!😉 However, faced with said situation, I would secure a good vantage point, prefferably behind the person, so I could stare without her noticing. If not, a position where I could pretend to be interested in something else, should she happen to look up from her reading. A little serendippity if she should catch me looking, and smile, or make no move to put her shoes back on, but I useally don't have the nerve for that.

my reaction is different now...

...than it would have been 20 years ago. today, i'd just drool. a few years ago i would have been bold as brass, and tickled her! i did this kind of tickling of strangers a lot when i was younger. i had this completely inocent look, that went over big. now i'm your half bald 40ish perv. then again, maybe i'm starting to grow up... nawww, lol

I've seen the master of this at work at a NEST. We call it "Doing the Andy". He walked up to a lady at the pool...tickled her feet and then apologized saying he thought she was someone else!

And he's got that innocent smile! LOL

I 've done both the walking away and the actual tickle in my day.

A casual friend in college got a great rib tickling just for being in the television room when I was getting ready to leave. We knew each other's names but never "hung out" (I wasn't exactly the right type for her group of friends...lol)...anyway, after a brief exchange I decided what the hell and used my favorite phrase as I was leaving: "Well, nice seeing you and glad I could bring some laughter into your day" and proceded to tickle the heck out of her sides until she fell off the couch. She was actually friendlier to me the next year!

Just this past week at the docotrs office waiting room there was a charming young lady flexing her feet and sliding them in and out of her sandals. I actually came up with a rather witty way of commenting and then using that as an excuse to tickle her foot...but chickened out and didn't say anything. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
