Tickling my female boss's feet

[Chakett_76]

What "excuse" can I give her when I finally get up the nerve to try? We've been co-workers and friends for more than a decade, so the "boss" thing isn't really a big deal. We know each other's spouses, so there's no notion of it being an advance.

But she's a chronic shoe remover, and has a great pair of size 6 1/2's (which I have verified by checking her vacated shoes). I am frequently in her office, conference rooms, etc., where the shoes come off and with a little creativity my finger could be sliding up her sole(s). She's driven me nuts for years.

But what about the "excuse"? And should I wait for the warm weather, when I might get the chance to tickle bare skin, and not have to settle for going through socks or hose?

If she's constantly taking her shoes off in front of you, and you have a good relationship with her, why don't you just give her a quick tickle and say, "Sorry -- I just couldn't resist."

Sometimes the truth *is* the best way to go!

 

[qjakal]

Agreed...

Yup...pick your spot and just "Nike" it bub! Do you know if she's ticklish, or are you flying blind? Q As for "wait"...no no no...there IS no tomorrow!

Chakett_76-- what you need to do is the next time you're alone with her and she removes her shoes: You need to ask her if her feet hurt. Wether she says Yes or No is irrelevant. Tell her about an infomercial you recently saw about women's shoes. Tell her it covered "High Heel Syndrome". This is a syndrome I invented to present myself with tickling opportunities. It has a 50% success ratio. Ask her if her feet or toes ever get tingly. Regardless of what her answer is I want you to say, with an intellectual look on your face, "Let me see your foot". When you get hold of her foot hold it delicately by the ankle and tell her how the infomercial host spoke about all the nerves in the bottoms of the feet. As you tell her this run your fingers up and down her soles. If, and when, she jerks away tell her that it's good to be ticklish. it means she doesn't have "High Heeled Syndrome". In the last year I've had at least three different women I've never met before put their feet into my hand. Some of these incidents took place on the Number 3 train going to Times Square. When I've used it on women that know me the success ratio drastically increases.
This may seem like weird advise, but Chakett seems like a weird dude, which means he fits in on the TMF perfectly.

High Heeled Syndrome, I love it! WS, you should go make that infomercial for real -- imagine, half an hour performing that test on dozens of women, in the studio and on the street. And it'd be about as valid as most of the stuff they mak infomercials for anyway.

If we could only harness WallStreet's mind for good instead of evil!

EUREKA

tklr5150-- You should have put a light bulb on your post instead of the smiley. That is actually a very good idea.
Chakett_76-- Let us know how it turns out.

 

[Chakett_76]

pressURE!!!

Folks, great advice all. Glad to see this sparked so much thought, but I am serious about it and figure I can't be the only one facing such a serious dilemma.

Wall Street, your scenario is a good one, though it would probably take some time to play out...I'd probably have to rehearse!

The quick tickle, "gee I couldn't resist approach" would be easier, but a lot less fulfilling.

I could kick my own fanny for letting those couple of opportunities in the heat of the summer get by me, when I could have had a decent shot at ticklish bare (soles) skin.

Is she even ticklish? Don't know for sure, but when she laughs, it's like a hyena. And her feet are smallish and narrow, with super straight toes.

Chakett_76-- before you go for the quick tickle approach let me inform you that it has more cons than pros. I to have used the quick tickle approach in the past. It's success percentage rate is down around 30%, and I'll tell you why: You have to hit the mark the first time and there will be no second chances (unless you have the balls to create that opportunity). The "High Heeled Syndrome" approach presents conversation about tickling besides the chance to actually tickle. It's worth the rehersal time.

 

[Chakett_76]

I appreciate your point....

....Wall Street. Last year, we were involved in a project that took us "south" from NYC on business sorties several times a year. Mostly one or two nights away stuff. At that time I was even contemplating trying to get her a bit inebriated and "getting" her feet during or after dinner, but I never had the balls to pull it off.

I've got to respectfully disagree with Wallstreet's suggested approach. The potential downside is too great (and I'd argue, even greater than the 'quick tickle' approach). The problem is that it's deceptive. If she finds out it's a sham (and don't discount the possibility), she'll really wonder what's up with you. In other words, she'll be thinking, "if you're willing to exercise such deceit in order to indulge your fetish, what else would you be willing to do?"

The over-arching question is this: what do you intend to accomplish? Are you looking for an excuse to innocently tickle her? If so, just do it and say "I can't help it, when I see a bare foot, I have to tickle it!" Or you could say, in your defense, "hey -- you're the one that tempted me with that barefoot stuff!" She'll think you're off-beat and kooky, but that's about it. She may even say, "yeah -- I love to tickle people too!" Then you've struck gold! IMHO, coming up with a fake story to accomplish such a modest goal is like killing a flea with a sledge-hammer; and the sledge-hammer is likely to fall on your own foot afterwards!

Now, if your intentions are to get into a long-term tickle relationship with this person, I'd first ask you to think hard about that. Is it wise, given that you're both married? And that she's your boss? [don't forget the fact that tickling *turns you on!* trying to get turned on by people you've got no business getting it on with is just not smart! you're walking into a land mine, my friend.] But ok, assuming that you still think it's a good idea, I still think the 'high heeled syndrome" approach will start you off on the ... ahem ... wrong foot. Because when she finds out that you're a tickle-phile, she'll know that you made it up. And then she's likely to think that you probably go around doing this to lots of women. She may admire your creativity, but in the back of her mind, she's liable to think, "hmmmm wonder what else he'd lie about to get his way..."

Just my 2 centavos...

 

[Chakett_76]

Whew!

Well, despite the spirited debate, my intentions are pretty much straight forward. She has nice feet, I see them a lot, and attempting to tickle them seems nothing more than the logical "next step." The massage thing might be worthwhile if alcohol is providing sufficient cover. But given the situation might present itself in an office, I'd probably have to settle for the quick tickle.

The hope would be that if it went at all well, it wouldn't have to be the last one.

However, this would open a whole new relationship for us, kind of a pseudo "playful", yet non-sexual phase.

Just tickle her!!

I would wait until it was just the two of you in the office, and then just give her a really good tickle- just make sure she is not in a pissed off mood before you strike, if in a good mood, she will think it playful. Hold her ankle for a few seconds, and tickle until she lets out a really good laugh, then just be playful and say " I always wondered if you were ticklish.." and wait for her response. She of course will give you her reaction to it right away. If she says" Don't ever do that again" sternly- well move on and forget about those soles ever again, but if she giggles some more and seems to give a hint that she didn't mind it, or even liked it, then make it a flirtatious game. No harm, no foul.

If you know each other for years, I don't think she would mind the tickle at all...she trusts you, so it won't seem threatening. From that point on, you can always pick on her whenever she removes her shoes, quick tickles. Even get to the point where you both will look at each other and grin whenever you catch her alone shoeless..in effect tickling her without touching her, then you can gently tickle, and she will see how long she can take it without laughing, etc.

Have fun- give her a good tickle once when you are both alone so as not to embarrass her, and gauge her reaction.

A long time co-worker of mine Terri used to drive me crazy too, then one day I just went up behind her and gave her a 30 second rib tickle from behind...her reaction... instantaneous open mouthed laughter, and she couldn't move, paralized with tickling. When I stopped I kidded her about the tickling, and she just playfully scolded me to get away (not mad), since then I tickle her whenever I see she is in a good mood, and whenever it doesn't effect the job (no tickling while she is on the phone). I actually believe she likes when I tickle her sometimes...and will instigate it by calling me names knowing what I will do to retaliate....she makes the job a better place for me.

I can't help it- I gotta tickle..The brave man dies but once...

Hey

Just go for it.

 

[Chakett_76]

kingp you pretty much...

...summed it up. I might just extend my attempt beyond her feet.

 

[Slappy McGee]

good advice from kingp.....

also, don't make it seem like such a big deal... that might come off as strange to her..... and you know, it shouldn't be a big deal... enjoy it, do it, but don't turn it into Mt. Everest, just have fun...

 

[magic fingers]

It's no big deal

Chaket, I agree w/most of what's been said. You're making it a bigger deal than it should be. Go ahead, and tickle those feet! Believe me, if you've been friends this long, then there's nothing to worry about. Just don't tickle her, if she's having a bad day, or trying to prepare for an important meeting, or knocking herself out trying to meet a deadline, or just in a bad mood. And don't torture yourself waiting for the Summer. Now I don't you, or your boss, but I would think she'd be a LOT less suspicious about you tickling her feet, than about you checking out her shoes, while she was away from her desk. To me, inspecting a ladies shoe, without her knowledge, is a much bigger risk, than an innocent foot tickle
