Just a Quickie: Can Tickling Be Considered Flirting?
I've seen some girls and guys get a little miffed if their SO tickles another girl/guy in front of them, even if they are just friends. Is that crossing the line just a little bit into the "flirting" zone? Or do you think it's completely fine?
I know I'm not a big fan of it...but I'm not going to flip out crazy about it.
What do you think?

What? That's odd. I wouldn't let my SO tickle anyone..that seems a bit too close for me.
No tickling!
Unless they're little kids and you're using it to get information from them!
I've always thought tickling was an excuse to touch and flirt with the other person. This guy kept trying to tickle me every time he saw me, even though I told him a million times that I wasn't ticklish. But I guess this all depends on the person and situation
I wouldn't like for my boyfriend to do it to some other girl, and I certainly don't do it to other guys.
fuck that noise! not appropriate!
@xmzchoix@xanga - My ex keeps doing that to me. It's his way of flirting. It's quite a bad way for flirting.
if she pins him down to tickle him or touches him elsewhere even if not tickling like resting her hand on his shoulder in front of me, I'm going to kick her ass
then yell at him.
It seems a little too close to me....
Tickling is flirting. If I like a guy, I'll jokingly tickle him or see if he's ticklish. It gives me an excuse to touch him.
Tickling is SO flirting.
It's definitely flirting. Doing it to anyone else while in a relationship is highly innapropriate, unless it's like your little sibling or something.
It's flirting, we're adults not little kids, we only tickle people like family and intimitate partners...and unless it's his/her best friend from like 1st grade, he/she probably just wants an excuse to touch the other person.
I wouldn't be okay if my husband went around tickling people. That's just a little too close. Plus I know that when my husband tickles me it turns him on, so I definitely wouldn't want him to do that to someone who isn't me.
Tickling is definitely flirting, any playful touching is a sort of flirting and I think tickling is a VERY intimate degree of flirting. It is also a type that can get way out of hand very quickly. A playful poke in a tickle zone is a huge "I'm into you" announcement, but going any further is inappropriate, because it goes from playful to torture in a nanosecond, and from flirty to "get your hands off me" just as quickly.
It can get creepy real damn fast.
I once saw a documentary that claimed most heterosexual social interactions with members of the opposite sex was flirting/looking for a mate, from a zoological viewpoint. It totally warped my mind and caused me to look at everything differently. I'm not sure if this is a good thing
.
tickling almost always leads to more...
I'm not okay with that. It varies for each couple, but I consider that flirting and would more let my SO know.
lol is poking the sides considered tickling?
I don't know about you guys, but every time my boyfriend and I tickle each other, it's ended up in a make-out session. just sayin'.
I can see how tickling can be seen as flirting. It's annoying (unless it's my boyfriend) though.
YES, tickling is flirting. I speak from experience here.
yeah...tickling someone can be a bit much.
...all my friends tickle me. i don't see it as a big deal, and neither do most of their SO's.
Despite the danger of sounding redundant...
yes. Yes it is.
I'd say it depends on the extent. If it's just a poke in the side, then I don't care. But if it's like full on tickling the chick while she's squirming and stuff.....no, definitely crossing a line.
I really wouldn't mind by boyfriend tickling anyone, unless he was touching certain areas or their faces were very close. Honestly I think people should be allowed to do things you'd do in friendships.
