I had a very interesting conversation with some friends last night. Somehow we got on the topic of cuddling, kissing, holding hands and how we would rate them from friendly fun to serious relationship. Now, I wish I could explain this whole conversation in great detail because it was hilarious. But alas, I cannot. I don't have that good of a memory and this post would be waaay too long. So you'll just get my brief views about it. But let's just say it's crazy how different people see things. And then it makes sense why dating can be way complicated. One person might be thinking oh this is fun, we're just friends cuddling and holding hands while the other is thinking oh my goodness, we must be dating now because we're holding hands!
Can you guess which person I normally am in that situation?
I am a big hand holder. I love holding hands. And I cannot just hold hands with any random guy. If I do, I feel way uncomfortable and may start to freak out. It's such a big thing for me that hands are one thing I look at on a guy. Call me weird, but it's true. I've run into some guys that have longer skinnier fingers (or in other words more girly) than mine. That is not ok. There are also those with super rough dry cracked hands. I mean really- there is such a thing called lotion!!
My thoughts on kissing.. hmm where to start. Let's just say I am the most awkward person when it comes to kissing. I avoid a first kiss like it's the plague. Even if I like the guy, I'll avoid it because I find the situation sooo awkward. I won't look him in the eye. I will talk so fast and about the most random things just to avoid that silent staring into each others' eyes when you know it's going to come moment. I mean, you'd think I'd realize that I just end up making the situation all the more awkward.. But no. I still freak out.
Cuddling is the one thing I don't find that big of a deal. I like cuddling. And I don't freak out about it. I think friends can cuddle without it meaning anything. Although, we did determine that there are various degrees of cuddling. So there is still some debate about it being serious. Which again just comes down to everything being complicated because everyone has different views of where to draw the line from being friendly to serious.
So frustrating..
We also talked about what we look for in the opposite sex and what things turn us on or off. So here are some physical features that I look for on a guy:
* Hair.
I am not a fan of hairy men. If I can see bushes of hair poking out of a guys shirt- whether it be chest, back, armpits- that is just gross. If it looks like a guy is wearing a shirt when no shirt is actually on- eww. I am sorry for those to be cursed with such an unfortunate thing.
Facial hair- I'm normally not a fan, but some guys can really pull it off. The scruff look at least. But it's just easier to say no facial hair.
Head hair- I prefer it short. Shags can be attractive, but I like the short spiky look better. I also am a bigger fan of darker colored hair.
* Smile.
Straight teeth please :)
* Eyes.
Not really a big thing I look for but I do love bright blue eyes.
* Height
A guy has to be taller than me. Which isn't too hard seeing as how short I am. But a guy can't be too tall either. I don't like feeling like a child next to him.
And obviously hands too. But I already explained that earlier.

:)
