i was watching The Village and i saw an interesting point. that we do not touch those who we secretly like for fear that they will know that we like them. the girl i like, a friend, she actually said to me sometime, when we were forced near each other, "is this too close?". she was being sarcastic, about how i neber get close to her
when I had secret crushes I still interacted with them just as I would with anyone else I didn't like, the only difference was I secretly did
I always used to be afraid to touch guys I liked for fear that when they found out, they would think that was the only reason I was touching them. Did that make sense?
yes i know what you mean but touching is very important... people feel closer to you when there's some minor physical contact between u and them. if you feel like that try to invent innocent reasons to do it, with the time, this fear will vanish.
