Favorite gestures of affection

wat.

I can't even with that.

The "I need space" implies she (or he) needs something other than "space", but in the picture it's literal, which is the joke. Me posting it has no implication in reality.



LOL. defensive.

Just making eye contact and smiling in return is a fine gesture of affection.

Some people live for that.


More so when a random kid suddenly smiles a sweet beautiful, and innocent smile at you for no reason. It validates being good looking. Lol.
 
So I was at the beach and this entire family suddenly goes berserk because right when they were about to take the family picture, they realized their little boy, about age six or seven, was nowhere to be found. The boy wasn't in their cabana. The authorities at the beach started to gather to deploy an informal search. Turns out the kid was simply taking a shit at the public toilets. :tearsofjoy::sweatsmile::tearsofjoy:

I don't know why i'm laughing.:sweatsmile:

The kid got a hefty scolding from his mummy because asian moms. Now that's a gesture of affection. :relaxed:
 
Y jacking together.

Not a lot of people know this but I won't y Jack with someone I don't trust or like. It's very intimate for me. If I y Jack with you theres a good chance I love you platonic or otherwise.

Catching someone staring repeatedly. More nervous shy people do this a lot. I love catching someone and trying to hold the gaze to let them know I like it.

Having conversations that really aren't about anything. Like saying words out loud but not being able to pay attention to what's being said because you're so caught up in the other person. Not sure how to explain this. But the answers start getting short and you start staring at each other and smiling a lot trying to continue the conversation but you're too flustered.

Doing things for me without me even asking. Like interacting with people on my behalf. Putting their body between me and someone I don't like as a buffer but being subtle about it so the other people don't know.

Having a conversation only with eyes. Being able to communicate a whole thought just by throwing your eyes a couple directions and slightly changing your facial expression. It's awesome when someone else is on your level and instinctively knows what you're trying to tell them without having to guess.

Sharing songs you like with them. I know this was already mentioned. But I communicate through music and I can't date someone who had opposite tastes in music than me.

I like to draw things on people's back with lotion.

Playing with their hair.

Booping their nose

All so sweet! It's like a movie montage reading it. It kinda makes me want to be in a relationship but naaaaah
 
I wanted to have a thread that could generate positive energy, so I want to ask you all: what are your favorite non-sexual gestures of affection?

For example, I still recall feeling warm when and ex would pinch my nose. He still does it with his kid and it's simply heartwarming. It's just how he shows love.

I like squishing the faces of the people I love. Adorable faces in funny shapes are super cute. :m085:

I like to touch, for example standing close to someone I really admire or like, it could be someone I just met too (after gauging that they are not going to be uncomfortable), I'll rest my hand behind their back, move them while I am at it if someone is passing by them, place my hand ever so slowly on their head to tell them they might hit their head somewhere, I'll stop them and pull them gently towards the less busier or less crowded side as we walk across a street, move their hair away from their face even if it isn't getting in the way. I ask loads of questions so it might be a lil bothersome (maybe) but I want to know what they desire or want at any particular time and if they are comfortable so I'll ask if they are or if they need anything, if they are hungry or thirsty. Feed someone with my own hands if they are sick. Walk them to the washroom and back, sit by them if they can't sleep..etc

Awww. I'm not a touch person but you describe in a way that doesn't make my boundaries cringe.
 
I am not a hugger but the other day, my students ran across a bit of hill to hug me. Group hug. I don't know why but moments like these make life worth living. I guess I am a hugger. :)
 
Ah, so many! :blush: All of them have probably said already on this thread.

Hugs, kisses, cuddles. ^-^ Sincere smile coming straight from the heart. Just listening and being there, even in the silence and nothing else. Stroking hair. <3
