I like to dance the way I like to sleep -- alone.
I like snuggle time. I do. I always have. But only when it's in moderation.
But a lot of people are anti-cuddling these days. "Whoa, you want to snuggle? I think that's moving too fast." Well, to return your "whoa," "Whoa, you're reading too much into it."
It's like one of my favorite quotes: "It's only awkward if you make it awkward."
But whether we admit it or not, some people consider the close proximity touching to be showing a vulnerability. And I don't know if you've noticed, but if there's one thing we don't want is to be seen as HUMAN. VULNERABLE. PENETRABLE.
God forbid we make our personal space bubble smaller.
And using my favorite form of "emphasis" -- enjoy the following.
OK, "Telephone" was just self-serving. I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT! YOU WILL SUFFER WITH ME!
P.S. In other news, "Frank DanCoolo: Paranormal Drug Dealer" has been accepted into nine film festivals worldwide, winning "Best Short" at the 35th Annual Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival. Cool. I've also been approved to have my own blog in addition to my copy editing/taxonomy/whatever duties. Stay tuned May or June. Suck it. Lastly, after having begun weekly classical French fencing lessons a month ago, I have earned my own foil and glove. I'll be unstoppable. And making swish noises with my sword.

A guy's response to physical contact is a bit different from girls. True, intimacy is a combination of physical and emotional contact but obviously most girls get more intimacy out of emotional/personal contact and most guys get it from physical. So for me to snuggle a girl I was dating, well, my body's gonna want to respond accordingly and I think it'd be quite rude if I were to poke her in the worst way (really not trying to be funny, I'm just trying to edit it down)
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not as scared of cuddling like I used to be--guess I'm maturing or whatever. Also, omelette du fromage!
Excellent point, sir. Also, haricots verts!
