An amendment to my previous post.. because.. in it.. I was talking about real life tickling.
While it is true that the last time I tickled someone who wasn't a close personal, friend, or gf, was in college, I cant say that about ASKING a girl if they were ticklish, and again, I'm not talking about TMF, or the foot forum I belong to.
I've posted on here before about how I got into tickling, by correspondence with the straight male pen pal, who passed away shortly before I joined TMF. We both had female snail mail pen pals, that we used to get through things called "Friendship books", where girls would post their names. We would get these girls names, write them regular first letters, and then, after they replied, my friend Don would always say: "Okay, (Whatever girl) responded, time to ask her "Our Favorite Question"! So, of course.. we did. I got about 40-50 answers between the time I started writing to Don, and the time he passed away. I stayed friends with some of the girls for several years.. but.. looking back on it.. if I had a computer before 2002, and TMF or a foot forum had existed.. I probably just should have joined, and told him to as well. because I fell into the trap. The one time I waited a long time to ask someone about tickling, was this girl Melissa who I really liked, and did not want to offend. We started a phone friendship, and I thought we were going to meet, but it fell through. One day, after I knew her for a LONG time, I brought up the subject of tickling to her on the phone, by stating I had been tickled by my cousin, and asked if that had ever happened to her. Her reply was "Yes, I am very ticklish". She said it in such a way.. of almost like mock anger. I was very afraid I had offended her, and when I asked her if she was mad, she said "No, it was just a rather odd question to ask, before we met. If we started dating, and you tickled my feet, I would probably be okay with it".
More than likely, except again, on TMF or a foot forum, the only time I would bring up tickling to a girl.. is after I really got to know her, and we established a relationship. At that point, I would either just tickle her playfully, or tell her about my foot and tickle fetish, ask to play with her feet and tickle her, and see what she says.
I hope I'm not a bit off topic here. I was trying to illustrate a point. If this post is off topic, remove it, and my apologies.
