I think we had a five minute conversation that compromised of about three minutes of silence, over all. We were both SO shy it was funny.
I'm usually super talkative, too. :O!!!!
He said he wanted to do something. I said I was going out of town for the weekend (which I am, possibly. Depending on mum's working schedule, which we find out later.)
Also, more and more, from talking to my friend again, I'm getting the feeling it's like Cass said, that he's just got not wonderful social skills. Especially after the stuttery phone call from hell.
I also have the best personal space excuse ever. I'm sensory defensive. I have tremendous difficulty with anything touching my skin. It makes me scratch and twitch, and gets a LOT WORSE when I'm nervous or tired, so it's pretty sporadic. I'll just warn him about it from the beginning.
No, you can. What it is is when I have a tag brushing my skin, the repeated rubbing makes me twitch. My skin doesn't acclimatize. I can't wear wool, or anything mesh. I can't have rocks in my shoes. Sometimes the seams in my socks (if they're right on the toes) they go up and down. It turns from irritation to physical pain as I get more and more tired. I've definitely cried over my socks before.
An arm around my shoulders on a hot day isn't likely to bother me, but could. It culminates in me also having a BIG personal space bubble. And when I'm nervous, like on a date, it gets not-good.
I have sensitive skin. So while it's nothing so bad as that, I can't wear wool ever, and I've come up in welts from a rubbing tag. :( I... feel a very mild version of your pain?
It's not so bad. I can control it ninety percent of the time. I don't break out either, it just HURTS. The only really bad problems I've had in the last year were yesterday (he had his arm around my shoulders and I got the strongest feeling of something biting the back of my neck and shoulders, like a horse fly, even though there was nothing there) and after the 24 hours on the airplane, a wool blanket the girl in the seat next to me was using rubbing my arm as she slept.
I did once. And she snapped at me and told me to put on a sweater (on a fucking 800 person airplane) and said not to bother her again.
Stupid girl. We'd been barely civil all of thailand though. We don't get along. She tends to assume that she deserves everything immediately. And gets mad when I don't cave. Which I never do.
Also, there's an overheated, half-undressed, flushed Jack in the bar.

Well, it's harder to stutter through email. :D?
Just make sure it's something you'll enjoy/be comfortable with.

Does this mean I can't hug you when I meet you? :(

But she's an utter, utter bitch. Her excuse was that it wasn't on purpose.
But that's a different story. *mutters* Bitch.

Also, I am going to watch TV for a bit. Back soonish.
