Question Posted Thursday February 23 2012, 9:45 pm
My guy friend is getting a lot more touchy feely and flirty lately, this week he grabbed my thigh, and pokes my butt with his binder, and tickles me a lot, and today he kept trying to put his hands up my shirt, on my stomache to "warm his hands up" and did it more at our locker trying to tickle me. then when we hugged goodbye after school he put his hands up my shirt again. Why could this be?

You didnt state if you would be interested in him as well or not so heres both sides of the coin.. if you are interested, go with it, let him do what he wants, maybe even do a little touchy feely of your own..show him your into him as well.. if your not interested, tell him nicely when he does it again that it makes you uncomfortable as his friend to be touching you in that manner. Best of luck to you -Istalio [ istalio's advice column | Ask istalio A Question ]

Trust me if you don't say anything it ends awkwardly. i have been in the same situation and to me it seems like he is testing his limit of what he can do. be straight up with him. Hope I helped.

That is by far the most immature thing I've heard in awhile. Instead of letting someone touch you like that tell him "No" and be stern about it. Like Adviceman said below me it sounds like you are not ready nor comfortable with his behavior and I'm not going to lie.....He sounds very immature.

To answer your question; your boyfriend is definitely taking liberties as they said back in the day. You sound as if you may not want him taking such liberties or not ready for them yet in this relationship. He may feel your relationship is at the point you our ready to go with him to the next level which is one of physical familiarity. This of course will lead to what he hopes will be eventually physical sexual relations with you.
This of course is only my opinion. Being male and having once been a teenage male myself; I am fairly certain my opinion is accurate.
If you are not ready for touchy feely with him then tell him so. He should also know this type of behavior is inappropriate in school. something that based on the zero tolerance of this type of activity in the school system where I live. Could get both of you in serious trouble at school; should a teacher or principal observe you two.
My advice is if you are not ready to go to that next level with him say so. If you are then you need to tell him he needs to back off at school so you two do not get into trouble.
He is showing you where he wants to go in your relationship. Know you have to tell him if you want him to back off. If you are not ready to have sexual relations, and I suggest you not be, then tell him so. Also tell him to keep his hands to himself if that is what you want.
