memory before work.....what comes to mind....ah, that one will take too long, what else.......dang, I wonder if all that's left is longer stories! How short do I want to make it? How slight of a tickle is worth expressing?
I don't know why I don't make any distinction between a slight, quick tickle and a prolonged attack (or "session"). I guess it's because....it's about that discovery moment....the reveal.....once that's happened, it's like a door is opened, and all this light from heaven showers over the 'lee, lol. If the reveal doesn't happen.....then I become immediately super-confident and relaxed around her....I don't want anything from her and I look forward to a great friendship! If the reveal does happen....I start thinking well maybe this is "the one"!
So with that in mind.....and because time is so short.....
Talk about the SMALLEST and SLIGHTEST of tickles.....about.....maybe 4 years ago? Something like that. I was recording (i'm a musician) and was near the end of the project. I had wanted to have a female voice sing a few lines on one track. I was looking for a naive, innocent singer with a very specific sound to her voice and at work, I thought I had found someone who fit the bill. She was the receptionist at the woodshop I worked for. We all loved her, she was very cool.
I asked her if she'd stay late one day, I'd bring some of my equipment and we could try recording. She was nervous but she said she'd give it a shot.
We set up in this empty room, I just put my machine on the floor, handed her the microphone and crouched down to engineer.
Unfortunately.....she was no singer, I was looking for a "naive, innocent" voice but she had trouble just carrying a tune! And so as I'm down there, crouched, I know this is going nowhere. But she's having fun, playing singer so....no harm done. She's singing, and my mind turns to who else I might be able to get to sing this part and yadda yadda yadda.....
All of a sudden, I realize, she's wearing peep-toe heels. The front ticklish flesh of her big toe is right there, like a car in a garage. I thought about it for all of two seconds.....reached over, put my hand upside down, crooked my finger....and started stroking up and down a steady, deliberate tickle directly on the underside-to-middle front of her toe. As I can hear it right now on the recording I've got in my headphones, she breaks up giggling, while still trying to sing. Awwww, it's so cute!

Here comes the "The Sneaky Brag" part!
We started hanging out a bit, and I always thought of her just as a friend. But one time we went to see a movie.....and afterwards, she invited me over (which I declined! What the.....?), and so when she said goodbye, she planted a big kiss right on my mouth! On a crowded Manhattan sidewalk in middle of daytime! I was completely taken aback!
So between that....and the fact that I knew she was ticklish.....I thought maybe just maybe?
Next time she invited me to her apartment, I went. I was touchy feely with her and at one point, I tickled her on her own bed, around the waist, as she buckled over, giggling. (we were sitting on the edge of the bed). It was cute. I was taunting her, "oh my god, are you like the most ticklish girl ever?" I remember saying.
But her personality in general was a bit cold and standoff-ish and frankly, a little bland. And I'm a bit of a big, gregarious personality. We didn't hit it off that way, just the personal chemistry. I remember her telling me that she hated to be touched, hated to be cuddled. Well....if I can't cuddle you, what's the point?! Hates to be cuddled? That's a waste of a Leo!
So friends we remained, In fact,I bumped into her recently.......and I think I found out why she probably was so forward with me in the first place! It wasn't because I was some catch or some good looking guy or anything......it was because she wants to have a baby and is looking for who will be the lucky guy! When I bumped into her, she was breaking up with her boyfriend because he didn't want kids; and she had broken up with the last guy she had been going out with for the same reason. I think that when I tickled her that first time, it signaled to her that maybe I could be baited! And I probably could have been! So......good thing I dodged that bullet!!! And she got tickled anyways! 😛
