Hon. The fact that you're even taking the time to think about this sets you way ahead of all the complete strangers (and by that, I mean, people you've never even communicated with before in any shape or form, online or RL) who do the same things without giving it a second thought. I daresay that if you've gotten to know someone fairly well online over a period of time, and they haven't indicated that they mind such RL contact, you're probably okay. (Of course, I can't speak for other folks, but from my observations of how people interact with each other, that's my best guess ( ... )

Allie, if I don't want someone to touch me, I make it very clear that I don't want them to touch me. If I haven't dodged then you're good.

I totally don't mind if people touch me inappropriately, just FYI in case we....ever meet. (which will happen soon. *INSISTS*)

But yeah, my friends grab onto me and fall asleep on my lap and shit all the time, so I'm kind of like you, tbh. 8D;; If I know someone well enough, I'll start touching. /)_(\

HAHA, I worry about this too. ;_; Because it's like SCREAM I'M MEETING YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME HELLO /LATCHES ONTO ... but sometimes people are weirded out by that. Though I think that reading people's body language can help some. 8D I'm pretty sure I hugged Jansen the second I saw her, whereas with Fam I could tell she wasn't the touchy-feely type.

IF WE MEET, YOU CAN GIVE ME HUGS.

I'm one of those people who generally doesn't initiate physical contact until the other person does, but I'mmmm usually quite \o/ about it. I like contact with those I like? Something like that. On the flipside I usually make it pretty clear when I don't want to be touched.

IN OTHER WORDS you're fine, bb.
