I think I'd want them at a 7/10 as well.
I've (26F) actually been thinking about a friend I had in my senior year of high school (it was close to the end of the year and he and I were both 18) who was in my physics class. He liked to tease me a lot, in a joking/friendly way, but started to develop this thing for tickling me. He would come up behind me, and poke at my sides, a LOT, and would do things like dance his fingers on my side when I'd give him a hug. I never expected it when he would do it and I'd always do a little jump and get really embarrassed, as he was doing this in front of other people. I remember being scared of going to class a little, knowing he'd tickle me in front of everyone, but I liked it at the same time. At one point he asked me if I was ticklish, and I told him no, but he knew I was full of shit and continued poking my sides and belly. I wondered sometimes if he was flirting with me, but I was too shy and embarrassed to say anything about it. I think he knew I liked it, it was probably why he kept doing it. I wish I would have taken the hint then. He was sadistic but to the degree that I like, and he was good looking then. Still is lol.
