If it's my boyfriend, there's no way he can give me "too much" touching. We touch all the time, if we're within arm's reach of each other.

Just a date though? I'd send them packing.

(p.s.- these aren't bf's)
I think you need to either let the know that they are only friends and will be nothing more so that they know that touching is inappropriate. Or, maybe you need to reevaluate yourself - every woman Ive ever been with WANTED to be touched or have me show some type of physical interest (be it kissing, hand holding, caressing her arm, etc.) to let them know that I care.

You also used the term "your guy" in your post. Why wouldnt you want "your guy" to touch you? Heck, you look GOOD!! You are very attractive, any guy would want to touch.

well, I think my point may be a little lost here. I don't mind touching or affection. I'm talking about being on the couch together watching tv casually (or other non-sexual contact) and the need for him to constantly rub my arm, kiss me or touch me. that's all. it gets bothersome to me when he has to do it all the time.

thank you for the kind words, da beez, I don't have problems with him touching me, its the fact that I don't have to be touched constantly!! that's the point I was trying to make. and I wanted a way to let them know without sounding mean about it or that I don't want contact other times.

Yeah, that kind of touching is just overkill and completely irritating. I don't have anything against body contact, but enough is enough, especially when it isn't a boyfriend.

Body language usually works ... sit in a chair. That way you're separated

Seems like the concesus is just to not be afraid and let them know that you don't want to constantly be touched. Question is, why are you so afraid to do so?

payment isn't an issue, maybe we split the costs, I don't remember. it's just the phenomenon of: just because we are in the room-to change for dinner, or drop off our bags,etc- doesn't mean I feel like having sex or groping right away. that's all.
It doesn't mean I don't like sex, either, it just means (to me), that I want to wait until later, let's go out first, let's go eat or walk around whatever.
A woman who doesn't remember if she paid? Toothfairy and bigfoots lovechild???

Wow, you must be hot. Just be up front with him. If he does not respect you and reduce the contact then drop him. You deserve better.

just don't want to hurt their feelings, I guess. but I'll work on ways to let him know I don't want constant touch.
