How to break that touch barrier with a friend you like?

[Anonymous]

Any ideas on how to break the touch barrier with a friend you like?

If your already giving him a hug your pretty much already there. The touch barrier is more of a mental thing really. It is to get him used to being touched by you when your around him. I'm kind of in the same boat with the girl I like. We hug goodbye but I'm still looking for more ways to make physical contact. Sometimes I notice that she kind of avoids being touched. Like when she needs to hand me something she will try and make sure to not have her hand where I will be touching the object. Just find times and places where it is a good and opportune time to touch him. If you really have a hard time finding them make some. Like in order to get his attention tap him on the shoulder, play Egyptian slap with cards so your hand will touch his, or try just walking closer to him. Though with that one it will take a while for him to get used to you being so close. If you sit at the same table rest your shoe against his, when he moves it wait a bit and move your foot again to touch his. Only do it once or twice because any more than that in a day and he will definitely notice. If you can take a long road trip for him and bring your backpack in the car so your foot will be touching his. That is a good question, I might have to ask that about the girls touch barrier. From my experience it is really more of them getting to relax when you touch them. Because why you touch them their mind decides if you should be touching and if not they move away. It takes time to get over that impulse.

Well depending on how strong your relationship is.. you could say he has something on his face and point it out on your own face, after two tries of him trying to get it, you can get it off yourself (Even though there is nothing there!) or try and get something out of his hair. I did this once and the guy went red!! haha it was really cute :P
Or if your in a crowded place stay as close to him as possible; like literally shoulder to shoulder contact and brush up against his hand
Good luck!

Such good ideas never thought of that! We got passed the hugging bit we do that when we say hello and bye. So i needed more ideas ☺

Maybe if its crowded or you get really excited and you want to show him something (but his being too slow!) Grab his hand and lead him to what you want to show him :P That's a cute way

Yikes, this is hard because I ended up with my best friend... But I know for a long time I dated a lot of other guys in the meantime but I still ended up with my bestfriend mostly cause he's always there for me, if you dating other guys still doesn't work then maybe you need to tell them you like them or you end the friendship

Start off by playfully punching his arm or something. If you don't choose to do that then try to touch his arm whenever you talk to him t least a few seconds, then everytime you talk make it longer and eventually work your way up to hug him every time you meet or depart.

We hug when we say hello and goodbye but i never thought it was a touching barrier as i thought it was friendly.

[Jailuvsash]

Well, it totally is. Just try to do the other two things once in a while as well. :) It'll give off more of the hint. ;)

When you say goodbye, hug him. If you're in a group hug everyone else too but hug him for a bit longer.

Do you hug each other when you meet each other? If you do, then it is already easy... If he makes a joke and even if it isn`t really funny, you can just laugh and touch his arm and a bit lean on him while laughing...

Start a pillow/tickle fight.
