Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.

i briefly talked to a girl at the library then i bumped into her a little later

she said it was no biggie then she rubbed my upper arm as she walked past me

did i just get hit on

idk i'm a socially inept rpanon

maybe ur upper arm was just fuzzy

impossible

i make sure my arms are shaved and smooth

(i don't have hairy arms i just hate feeling hairy anywhere because it feels disgusting and unclean)

okay wow. this isn't exactly a personal judgment on you, but I never got shaving arms. I only shaved my legs up to the knee, but I'm not really hairy in the first place. shaving your arms just seems weird.

and the whole unclean gross thing? that's sort of a little weird, sorry nonny. you have vestigial hairs for a reason, same as you have pubic hair for a reason. considering it to be 'gross' is a really bad media cultural thing, since it makes people that choose not to shave their armpits/legs out to be 'dirty hippies', when really, they just don't see any need to groom themselves in an unnatural way.

hair =/= manly or gross.

some people hate the feeling of being hairy

dwi

uhm no. it's a reflex. i do it sometimes.

the fuck kind of reflex makes you go touching strangers' arms, anon?

weird

i've had this happen to me too? it's not strange.

someone bumps into you, apologizes, and then kinda just pats/touches your arm as they walk off

seriously. how sheltered and anti-social do you have to be to not realize older people do this all the time? it's not weird unless you're a troll who never leaves their cave and doesn't have to maneuver themselves away from another person on a daily basis like normal people.

I do it because I feel like it shows the other person that there are no hard feelings. Even if they're the one that bumped me, a friendly exchange of pats after apologies is like: "We cool?" "We cool."

Of course, if the other person doesn't do it I don't think anything bad, either. That's just how some people are. But I definitely don't mind a quit arm pat.

the kind that you get from having a job where you could possibly knock glass dishes over if you don't tap people when you're passing by and in the way? older people do it all the time.

sorry if your feelings are hurt because a stranger wasn't hitting on you, but it's a common thing here.

did the bump occur on that side? because it's seriously just a thing people do. if the area is innocent enough, they just rub it to get the blood flowing again in case you're sore from the bump, then they go on their merry way. besides, you exchanged one-two words earlier, you're not perfect strangers. she might have felt just walking away would have been coming off too cold.

i've noticed some old people do that as a soothing gesture when they ask something from you or try to comfort you, maybe she's raised by her grandma or something

i live with older people and it's just common courtesy. i have the habit of lightly touching someone's forearm if i'm passing through and don't want to scare them.

I guess it could be flirting? But in my experience it's just meant to be a friendly or comforting gesture and it's done by people who are very touchy-feely in general.

(I tend to think it's a little weird, but ah well.)

being polite =/= flirting

why do most people (inept or not) forget this

and if you're polite, you're creepy. but if they were to shove anon, they would be rude. lol
