so i posted not too long ago about a new girl i was seeing who blatantly said to me she would rather i cut her with a knife than tickle her. i got some really super responses so i thought i would just follow up with a couple bullet-point tickles and thoughts on the subject of dating someone who is ticklish but averse to it. (i'll save you all the suspense - it looks like i'm keeping her 
she works two jobs and she hauls some serious ass, so she gets sore and i have been giving her massages. at the end of one, i was running my fingers over her back and she immediately almost jumped out of her skin. she started wiggling under me and squealed, then let out a sweet peal of giggles. i stopped touching her and she apologized, saying her back was incredibly ticklish. she has a tattoo on about 50% of her back (it isn't done) and said that she had a hard time holding still because it tickled. i have tattoos as well - they don't tickle. that's some serious ticklishness.
another time, i was massaging her and accidentally poked too close to her armpit; she yanked her arm down around herself and burst into giggles. i took my hand away (it was not conducive to what i was trying to achieve, as much as i would have loved to turn it into a bit of a tickle fight) and she moved her arm back above her head. when she moved i realized my watch had fallen under her - when i reached for it she thought i was going to tickle her again, and i had to put one hand on her arm and say "i'm not going to tickle you, my watch fell". it didn't matter, she couldn't stop giggling until i sat back away from her. it was super cute actually and since it was truly accidental on my part and i managed not to be crazed tickling weirdo and behave myself, i didn't feel guilty about it.
i tried testing the waters a little and tried tickling her side a little bit once. she immediately started giggling and i stopped tickling her but sat up like i was getting into a better position - i got a series of panicked "don't don't don't"s that after a second were not playful anymore so i didn't tickle anymore. i did tease her by pointing out that i wasn't even touching her (she was still giggling) but since i could tell in her voice it wasn't actually fun for her it stopped being fun for me.
ultimately it looks like brief, playful tickling is acceptable but beyond that i risk really upsetting her and frankly i am pretty smitten with this girl so it really isn't worth pushing "my agenda" on her. additionally, we were cuddling and watching tv today and she started gently tickling under my arms - i buried my face in her and giggled a little, which made her stop but she was still holding her fingertips on my shirt. she teased me for a couple seconds and when i really started laughing she stopped and said "i'm sorry, i'm sorry i'll stop! i'd hate it if you did that to me" (insert my internal sad face here). i told her i don't hate it and i think it's funny; i was immediately incapacitated by an all-out attack on my ribs and underarms. it went on for at least a minute and afterwards i got kisses - so much win in that 2-3 minute period 🙂
i'll update with any more good stories about it. honestly i feel super uncomfortable knowing she comes so unglued at just the thought since it stems out of negative experiences. i wish i could teach her how not to panic - half because i wouldn't feel so guilty when i do feel playful, and half because i genuinely feel bad about the level of panic. maybe one day; anyway thanks for getting this far.
cheers.
