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

But of course, if a man did what OP did everyone here would be calling him a creep, not saying "aw how embarrassing".. haha

Just give him a kick to the nuts and insist you had your own cramp to stretch out.

You didn't find it creepy that a strange man decided to flirt by rubbing his foot against yours? Being a man, I would feel like a creep doing that. I understand the attention of an attractive person is nice. This just seems like the creep outweighed the attention.

If that's how he treats you then he's not worth your time

Well you know what they say when you assume something. We all know what that makes out of us.

That would be an awfully strange first move or sign of interest.

Oh my, OP, your foot stroking got his blood flowing away from his feet to another part of his body and the result was a foot cramp. I bet there's some emergency procedure you can come up with to help him relax and redistribute his painful engorgement so his feet are relieved along with the rest of his tension....
