I didn't really know what it meant when a person tickles your palm with their index finger as you shake hands. Someone i kind of know just did that to me at a "Thank you" social we were attending. I came home and googled the action to find out it is a flirting / sexual proposition.

My question is do people really still do that? Is this a real way for two twenty-somethings to flirt? Not knowing the history of the action and being someone who tends to think out loud the first thing i said was "Dude what are you doing?" Then promply pulled my hand away. He is kind of cute and had he flirted a different way i'd be totally flattered. Wouldn't really mind it if he tickled something else in the future. ;)

Any thoughts / ideas / similiar experiences?
 
I have never heard of that before in all honesty. You probably could have been more tactful with your response, but I wouldn't worry about it. If you see him again you can always keep flirting.
 
It used to mean "I want to fuck you"

Yes i know ... that's what i found via google searches. My question was really about the currency of it.

Everything i was able to find was just as you said "used to mean".
 
I think it depends on the circumstances. I would assume that it doesn't happen much except in cruising situations or among people that aren't out.

It was a cruise to thank us for the volunteer work we've just finished. (A real cruise as in on a boat with water - so i guess in some sense we were cruising.) I think of the 90 people on the boat 88 were gay. The other guy is out as well. So i don't really understand the need to be discrete. I don't really work with him very much but i know people who do. I'll have to us them to maybe set up other times to interact with him.

Thanks for the input for those of you who did.

Does anyone else have any other similiar WTF flirting stories? Doesn't have to be secret handshake related.
 
I was just trying to explain times when I think such behavior would be more normal, Seymour101. Although on a gay cruise I can see some people thinking it would be acceptable, even though it seems strange to you and I.
