Posting, lurked for far too long

I've decided to try to become more active in the community, so here's a story, or rather, an overview of a period of time with alot of interesting tickling.

This is from about two years ago,

Had a friend that i met through another friend one halloween that I got on with fairly well. Lets just call her Mel. I spent more and more time with her and we got closer and closer, to the point when the moment she saw me, she'd cuddle up next to me and simply drape herself over me, nearly falling asleep. Now, I'm an overweight, nerdy guy, though nice and surprisingly well liked, even for my lack of social grace, but I was unused to this much attention from a cute, if equally nerdy girl.

Suffice it to say, I fell for her pretty hard and let her know. She never really said that she was interested or not, but she became even more cuddly and started to love doing things like wrestling and picking on me, so I retaliated in the natural way: I tickled the every living crap out of her.

Eventually, it became fairly obvious that she was going out of her way to get tickled. If I was doing something that WASN'T paying attention to her, she'd sneak up and either pounce on my lap or flip my glasses off my face or some such, knowing the consequences, and then practically throw herself in my lap to get tickled, all the while taunting me by saying something like "You can't tickle me. If you try, i'll just kiss you and that'll freak you out (yeah, I'm a little pathetic around women. Stuttering, blushing, etc. Like I said, strange situation for me). It eventually became fairly obvious that it even turned her on (her breasts, I believe because she had put on a little weight, had grown a bit too large for her bras, so hardened nipples were fairly easy to spot at that point) and all the signs were pointing to the fact that she was interested. Being over every day, there were usually at least one daily tickling session that lasted a while, usually with her attacking me again with a pounce or a pillow, just to have it start all over again.

It was fun for quite a while, but it didn't last. As it turns out, she'd been leading me on, for what reason I never found out, but she started sleeping with a friend of mine, almost flaunting it one day out of the blue without even warning me. From what I hear, they're getting married before too long and her best friend has told me that it'll probably last half a year, if that.

However, even with the heartbreak, those were fun times and good memories made, even if the ending kinda sucked.

And you never slept with her? The poor girl was doing everything in her power to show she was available, and you did nothing? No woman on earth presents it in writing! Learn to act on the signals, for God's sake!!

She saw your lack of response to her overtures as rejection.

As English playwright William Congreve put it in The Mourning Bride, way back in 1697:

Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.

Learn from your mistake. Better luck next time.

Maybe, maybe not, Libertine. Most girls have at least one guy friend who they do this sort of innocent flirtation with and it doesn't mean anything sexual. I had a guy friend of mine in college who I used to horse around with, and cuddle up in the same bed with, and I had absolutely no physical attraction to him. He made me feel safe. We were just buddies, nothing more. Although now I wonder if the platonic feelings were mutual.... god, I'd feel terrible if I unknowingly broke his heart!


As for your story, archmagusblue, well done! And congrats for delurking Sorry you got your heart stepped on, but I'm sure the right girl will come along. Sounds to me like you're a fun guy to hang around with!

Heh, thanks Daisy. I like to think I am, most of my friends are girls, but I've kinda been described as the "genderless teddy bear" heh.

And Libertine, that may be the case man, but I'm an overweight nerd. My experience with women, past the whole "big brother thing" is pretty much nil. Thanks for the advise though, as slightly harsh as it may have been.
