I don't mean this in a gay way. When you make friends with someone, when is it normal to touch/hit/playful punch them? People seem to do this with their friends, guys especially. Can you just try this once to show you wanna become close friends? Sorry, I don't have alot of friend experience...need to know this

Myself and one of my closest and longest time friends are a great example. From about 3rd grade into high school we would have a knock down drag out brawl about every six months. Different things would tweak us and it was fight time. Just would happen. Disagreements can be solved in many ways, and you feel much better afterwards.

If you're not sure how to gauge it, wait until they're physically playful with you first.

Just hit them if theyre your good friend. I dont know about girls, but if you're guy, slug them in the chest. Depends on the context tho. If youre like rednecks/thugs its good but for professional class people it doesnt work well. I'd have to gauge the situation to tell but err on the side of caution and dont hit anyone in most situations.

Younger guys tend to do this. It's a very immature thing to do and can turn into a full-on fight if someone takes it the wrong way.

My husband's coworkers at his last job would do this. He used to come home all bruised up on the shoulders and chest. They started it though...he said that was how he knew when they accepted him, when they started to do that to him like they did to each other.
