Once the girl breaks the touch barrier, does the guy get the clue that she likes him? Do you reciprocate back?

[Tallblondie]

Question says it all.

If you like her, what do you do? Are you a little hesitant at first?

If you don't like her, would you still touch her?

I am talking about a girl touching the guy's arm, back of shoulder, grabbing his wrist/arm/hand, neck.

Personally, I was very hesitant in the past to reciprocate touch. I felt that girls were extremely uncomfortable and fearful around guys, and that touching, then, would be absolutely unacceptable. It was a hard barrier to break. An ex of mine had to help me through it, but later took advantage of it instead, convincing me I "owed her something" for being "part of the abusive, oppressive gender."

I still am fairly hesitant because of this, but at least it's getting better.

I'd say I get the clue to a certain extent. But I usually don't show it. Someone touching me just don't seem a reliable enough hint for me. There are plenty of girls who are just flirty to everyone. So it's hard to tell unless the words directly come out of her mouth.

I would get the clue, or at least I would try to be more and more physical with her. She must have worked so hard to break the touch barrier, I don't want to let her having to do everything. I am a man after all...

Only if I hate her I won't answer back.

I just want to be polite to her caring or feelings about me.

The rule is that on a date setting he should not touch her. If she touches him in mean she has interest in him and he plays along being a gentleman. 90% of guys will get the clue. Just smile be patient and do not be afraid to touch him again.

I always felt like it didn't mean much when a girl breaks the touch barrier. Like I've had women touch my chest or like give me a nudge and I always figured it was just a friendly sort of thing?

[Tallblondie]

Well I am talking about a first date or a girl you barely know. A girl that is your friend might touch you a lot and mean nothing but a girl that you just started seeing touched you then that would be a hint that she liked him.

not usually depends I guess, girls are playful like that. girl touches my arm or shoulder iam not going to try and make out with her, unless I got some sort of signal that she wanted to.

So that is true huh? Like how girls would put their hand on my forearm(mostly cougars would do this), but what kind of touching is involved to be considered that the girl would like me?

[Tallblondie]

I usually touch his arm, wrist, hand, or upper back. Then if he gets the hint he will touch my lower back or arm. But this is just what I have noticed!

Yes and yes

A little hesitant, but open to it after!

Not unless we are friends

I've had this hot girl touch me like 3 times. Turned out she didn't like me. Shit's misleading.
