Have you ever unintentionally touched someone and felt like you were intimate with that person?

Ummm…are you on a list? J/K :)

I don’t know what you mean by that.

Yes. Seven months later we were in a serious relationship.

Uuuuum…nope

I’ve definitely had some intense eye sex.

@aviona now that perked my funny bone

This question reminds me of when i was in 4th grade and I was sitting next to a girl I really liked in class. Our upper arms were touching incidentally and the feeling i felt was pretty intense.

@aviona, I’ve had eye sex before. Thanks for putting a name to a sensation I was previously unable to describe so succinctly.

;) @The_Compassionate_Heretic no prob. It’s fantastic!

@Macaulay Welcome to fluther, the loveliest site in the sea.

One time, I touched a colleague’s arm as a friendly gesture, and I was so impressed by his rock hard bicep, it felt like a connection to me. I was so surprised I kind of stopped talking for a second and just looked at him, and then awkwardly pulled my hand away quickly because I’m with someone and didn’t want to send the wrong message. But he probably just thought I was a huge weirdo and wasn’t interested, anyway.

It was before I started dating my husband – I have a very good friend (male) that I hung out with, we joked that we were dating, without the sex. He was divorced, had kids and I was divorced with a daughter. They were over for dinner and while reaching for something, our hands touched. I just felt something, I looked up at him and he was looking at me. He briefly rubbed his fingers against mine – I couldn’t say a word. I guess I was too chicken.

About a two months later, my now husband asked me out. Two days later, my friend asked me out. It just wasn’t meant to be. We’re both happily married – to other people. ;)

When I was in my late teens I had to stand in a circle with a crowd of friends holding hands and this one friend I really liked, somehow stood next to me and we held hands for several minutes, I could feel emotion in his hand, he squeezed it gentle, he was making love to my hand, I felt it and will never forget it…:)

Hours later he came to me and ask if I would like to go canoeing with him the next day, I went and we had a relationship for about 16 months thereafter…:)

Defo! I know when I met my hubby ours eyes met across a smokey pub and later that night we bumped into each other at the bar in another pub and there was a definate spark ;)

Some dental assistants are moving so closely over you (when you’re stuck in your chair helplessly) that there can be intimate contact like feeling their boobs. I sometimes wondered whether they do this on purpose or not.

Have you ever ridden the Tokyo subway????

You could be having sex with people on both sides, and not even know it (sandwich sex)

ANY subway for that matter.

I take a public train for work and there was NEVER a time I felt like I was intimate with anyone in the sense that I’d like to be intimate with them.

Everytime I am in the Subway. (Single tear slides down my cheek.)

Yes. I have a really close male friend who I spend a great deal of time with. We are both in pretty serious relationships so no romantic feelings; however, on occasion he’ll touch my side, hug me, or hold my stare, and I know he feels the same nanosecond of intimacy that I do.

I don’t desire for anything to ever come of it, and neither does he, but in those moments, we are the only two in the universe that matter.

i’ve been going to shows for about 5 years, and let’s just say i’ve gotten over any ‘personal bubble’ issues i may have had…

@daloon
I saw once that they actually have bars to press people in from outside like sardines in a can. They could never have that in New York although they pack them in just as thick at times.
