Love and Awkward: It's not what you think

It's not what you think

Today, I was sitting next to an attractive man. Much to my surprise, he started stroking his foot against mine. I was happy at the flirting, because I've been attracted to him forever, so I played along. That's when he stood up and explained he was trying to stretch out a cramp. FML

Today, I spent almost my entire English class turned on thinking that the hot girl next to me was playing footsie with me. That is until she stood up and I realized I had been rubbing my foot on her backpack. FML

Today, I was on the subway and saw this cute guy eyeing me. I crossed my legs, tossed back my hair, and raised my eyebrows slightly. As he came up to me, my heart started racing until he finally started flirting... with the girl next to me. FML

Today, I was giving my boyfriend a foot massage. I learned that his feet are ticklish when he kicked me in the face. FML

Today, I discovered my boyfriend is incredibly ticklish on the bottom of his feet. Trying to be a bit flirty, I slowly slid two fingers down his calf and mockingly tickled his feet. He reacted by inadvertently elbowing me in the nose, nearly breaking it. FML

Today, the man that I have a crush on finally touched me. This would have been great, if not for the fact that it was to roll me on my side while I was having a seizure. FML

Today, I enjoyed the soft caressing touch of the person I'm attracted to. It would have been even better if he weren't simply stroking my arm hair in amazement at its superior length and density. FML

Today, I started playing footsie with the girl I like next to me in Biology. Turns out it was the table leg. FML

Today, I woke up to my friend stroking my face with the bottom of his foot and whispering, "Shh, you're okay." FML

Today, I fell asleep on the train and accidentally wound up resting my head on a strange man's shoulder. When I woke up, I discovered that not only did he not object, but he decided to return the favor by resting his hand on my thigh. I was wearing a skirt. FML

Well he should've been more careful honestly who randomly strokes people?

that's still weird, he was stroking your foot! I'd take that the wrong way too.

I used the same excuse once after a really bad, and really awkward one night stand. Maybe he was embarrassed that he got caught!?! The only way to find out is to stalk him until he loves you...

That must have been one hell of a cramp! I hope you were able to rub it out.

I'm pretty sure if he was able to just rub it out he wouldn't have had such an awkward one night stand.

You've been attracted to him forever? this story sounds like you only just met him.... to me anyway!

Yeah, I thought so too... She doesn't even identify him as a friend, coworker or anything, which made me think even more that she just met him. If the odds are with me, I'll rub my foot with every girl in Walsall, UK and see if it wins their heart.

Quickly offer him a foot massage! Get really into it, with toe-sucking and the whole nine yards. He might not take you on as a girlfriend, but he'll know where to go for a freaky good time.

Oh my god perdix! I almost had water come out my nose when I read that!

Toe-sucking? If she does that, it'll get around school and everyone will start calling her a toe **** and she'll end up putting a dead guy's foot in someone's locker, and no one wants that...

#39, when word of an unusual preference gets out, it has two effects: her stock drops slightly with the "normal" people, but for those who share her fetish suddenly go wild for her! I had a roommate with a mohawk, and a girl asked him why he had such an ugly haircut. He said, "95% of girls don't like it, but the other 5% love it and those are the ones I want to meet anyways."
