Do you think there is an answer to this question

Ok you have someone that you know and you think this person has a tickle kink, without coming right out and asking them, or bringing up sex. What would you have to see them do or say to let you know they have a tickle kink?

I would probably keep convincing myself they don't until they said "I have a tickle kink!" I think if they were extra persistent I'd be like 90% there, but there would always be doubts. I guess there could be other very telling signs like speech patterns and word choice that would lend to my suspicions. This is all very different from someone just enjoying tickling without having a fixation on it. Telling whether someone thinks tickling is fun is a lot easier than telling if they are into it in a way I'd call a kink or fixation. Anyone up for patenting a Ticklephile Detector?

Real question is who it this person to you? If you’re dating and intimidate and you think they do then don’t say anything and if you are ok with it, let them enjoy it. If you come right out and put them on the spot about it they might get self conscious and shut down. Do you really need to know?

Unless they actually told me, I wouldn't know. Even if they had fun tickling someone, to me, it wouldn't automatically mean they had a tickle "kink".

This becomes the same question of "is tickling always sexual" which I stand by the statement of no. There's so many different ways tickling fits into society, just because we do it certain ways sometimes (not all tickling I do is sexual or even someone I'm sexually attracted to) doesn't mean there's no other reasons or people that just think it's pure fun.
That being said, I think if they were constantly asking to have or give massages and turn them into tickling consistently, I think that would be enough for me to enjoy without even knowing the answer

Get them hammered so theres a better chance of confession.

If you tickle each other in any capacity, you could just say that "sometimes you really enjoy tickling, for some reason". If that person is into it, they will react accordingly. We would all like to find someone like us. It's a given.
If you never actually engage in the act of tickling with that person, I can't see any way of finding out that kind of personal information, other than asking directly...which may or may not go wrong on so many levels.

I would avoid it if possible. I try really hard to not assume. Unless it involves me, I really don’t consider it my business.

If it did, or it was a hopeful, I’d likely look and listen to language used. But the only fair thing in that scenario would be to self-disclose. And that’s highly unlikely lol. I’m super shy about it

I believe that people give subtle clues in their speech and body language when they have something like this topic they they are either into or suspect you may be into.

Example: I occasionally work in the same office with a girl who is either into feet or may suspect that I am, as she may have noticed me trying to catch a glance or two her way.

She has actually mentioned “people with a foot fetish” during a conversation once while sharing a story about how someone approached her while at the beach and politely asked to take a picture of her feet saying, “you have the most beautiful feet I’ve ever seen “.

She has also commented directly about her feet several other times, mentioning how she usually doesn’t go barefoot in someone’s house unless she is comfortable the floors are clean and that she avoids walking barefoot outside because she is a “tender foot”.

The interesting thing is that I have never made any comments or started any conversations pointing towards my interest in feet and/tickling in any way. The only thing I have done is try to take a quick glance here and there that perhaps she noticed. Also worth mentioning, there were a few occasions where she came by the office to just drop something off and choose to wear flip-flops.

I have concluded that she either has had some previous foot fetish experiences and is okay with it or she suspects that I do and is having a little fun trying to get some acknowledgment or response from me.

She is a very nice person who has become a friend. She does have pretty cute feet from what I have seen. This is an interesting dynamic that I find humorous. I wouldn’t act on anything if the opportunity manifested as I am very happily taken by the love and lee of my life. I have discussed all this with my lovely and talented Rachel and she shares my take that this lady either is creatively outing herself or trying to get me to come out about feet and foot fetish.
