The thigh tap

Does it usually mean anything? I'm talking about when you lay your hand on someone's thigh, or give a tap.

Like for example this work colleague showed me how to do something on the computer and when i had done it she said "good!", tapped me on the middle of my thigh and went back to her working space.

Does things like this mean anything?

Haha... a tap on the thigh is a simple gesture of "Well Done, I knew you had it in you" like a tap on the shoulder.

Or a tap on the penis. Go for it OP! :biggrin:
Only if you want it to.

Tap her on the thigh in a similar manner for a similar reason sometime and if she responds by escalating the touching (inner thigh rub, perhaps), then yes, she did have impure intentions the first time.

I hate it when people who I don't really know well do this to me. It's either really patronising or really annoying if they're trying to get your attention! Some of my family do it all the time grrr.

Maybe they're trying to get to know you past your frigid exterior? XD

She can be frigid if she wants to. No has to accept advances (not necessarily sexual) just because they are made.

If it's a girl a pat on the fanny is usually more appropriate :dontknow:

What? I don't understand how any frigidity is displayed because I don't like it when people I don't know well tap my thigh to get my attention?

I highlighted that she/you mentioned she/you hated her/your family touching her/you, and that she/you didn't really know her/your family. It would make sense for a family who feel they are seen as a bit distant to try some light physical contact in order to bond, no? :tongue:

If a female did something like that to me I would class it as sexual assault.

But remember, she's more likely to slap you.

What, for reciprocating a congratulatory tap in the same place she gave one? What kind of violent trickster women do you work with?

nobody's even asked whether she's attractive
she might just be a troll
