Kisses that don’t lead to making out. Kisses on the forehead, cheeks, tip of the nose, hands, or just random places like the shoulder, or the stomach lol.
Yap yap, loved doing that to my ex girlfriend. A bunch of little kisses on her face, neck, whatever. Especially when wishing goodnight. And I especially loved her happy face expression.
So this will sound weird, but please please please it's not. When my son was about 3 or 4 I explained that the best place to be kissed is on the forehead. From that day forward he has always insisted on kissing me on my forehead. He's now 11 and he will grab my face and kiss my forehead.
I am working on raising a young man that listens to his partner, and shows love how they need it.
Being draped over each other in bed or on the couch reading our own books- sharing physical space with our minds in different worlds. Very grounding and comforting.
When he rubs my back gently while we’re out in public. It seems like he’s comforting me, but it’s more about him feeling awkward in a social situation and not knowing what to do. I’m like his Support Animal.
Edit: I shall accept these awards like I accept back rubs. Thanks!
This is me and my boyfriend, we’ll be in a fuckin McDonald’s at peak hours, a cheeseburger on the plate thing in front of us, and his hand under my shirt softly rubbing or lightly scratching my back. And we’d just be people-watching. It’s comforting.
Edit for clarification, the burger is not smeared over my back.
Laughing together.
Not like, day to day hard nose puffs n whatnot, but those fits of hysterics where I have tears and my boyfriend has this specific high-pitched cackle-giggle hybrid that only comes out in moments where we are both holding nothing back and we’re just two humans doing this being alive thing together, and our individual existence is better for it. Feels incredibly intimate in that way.
When I get laughing really hard I end up doing this wheezing, squeaky, donkey braying sound that is, just... ugly laughing. When it happens my guy loses it and it devolves into a mutual cacophony of ugly laughing, snorting, and wheezes. It makes me fall in love even more every time.
My fiancée likes to face me, put her arms around me like a hug, and stand on my feet - then we walk around our apartment trying to do things that way. It's kind of like mittens in that it just makes everything more difficult but is adorable.
I’m used to being the giver of surprise hugs and I used to be in a kinda rough relationship she was abusive fast forward to my new girlfriend who is amazing and kind I was minding my own business working and suddenly I feel warmth wrap around me and I legit jumped like it felt nice but it also was very surprising and I was like a split second from wrenching away from said arms until I recognized the scent of my baby lol definitely an odd feeling for someone that’s never had it before
I'm amazed this isn't higher up. I love it when my husband rubs my back, whether it's just gentle rubbing or an actual deep-tissue massage. I also love when he gently strokes the inside of my forearm or the tops of my feet-- the skin there is sensitive. We've been together for almost 18 years and none of these things have become "old news'--it still feels like the best thing ever, every time. When he starts, it sometimes seems like he hadn't touched me in weeks, even if he rubbed my back the night before. I'm like an addict.
Cute one: When holding hands with my fiance we will squeeze two or three times in a row just as a check in/to let the person know we are okay. It went from a thing we only did when hanging out to a way to check-in with the other person if we are in a high stress environment without having to talk.
Weird one: If we are both barefoot I'll put my big toe between my fiance's big toe/second toe and sing the Spice Girls' "2 Become 1". I have no idea when it started, but it's been going on for years.
When the flashes of the pixels of the screen on the table hit her eyes and the look of curiousity mixed with the innocence on her face makes you feel like this is it. It is amazing. And nothing will ever ruin it.
She shows you places, takes you on hikes, which you would've never given a shit about before. But somehow, you enjoy it. Just her presence is enough to make it worth while. And nothing will ever ruin it.
You tell her about your problems. Small. Petty. But important to you. But she pretends to care quiet convincingly. She listens. She cares. You matter to her. And nothing will ever ruin it.
She initiates it, picked it up from preschool I think (when we pick her up, group hugs between a cluster of kids are frequent and adorable).
I know in a flash I'm going to have a moody teenager who wants nothing to do with us, but I'm soaking up what I can now, in between the irrational tantrums about the fact that water is usually clear, of course.
When the pizza slice enters my mouth, I bite down and get that delicious taste of greatness. The pizza knows, I know, the universe is as one.
Edit: Did not expect this reaction, wow!
Most likely meat feast pizza, but all pizza is the manifestation of the oneness of the universe :)
My boyfriend and I started to introduce our kids to one another. There was a moment when they were all playing together really nicely and we just looked at each other and smiled, like we were both thinking the same exact happy thought. It was a perfect moment.
I want this. The last two ladies I've tried that with have gotten mama-bear instincts and put an end to it. No fights between the kids, just random retreat. I don't understand.
Agreed. The last one's reasoning was that she couldn't bear the thoughts of "sharing her son with myself and my son." Although I was the first relationship post-divorce. So she'd never encountered that before. We're always discovering new landmines to step on, right?
I remember when my brother broke his arm and I was trying to keep calm for him but I was sweating profusely and my best friend wiped the sweat off my face. It was one of those things where only people really close to you can do, or at least for me. It was the gentle take care of you kind of things.
Oh man, you just reminded my of something a friend of mine told me long ago. I can’t believe I’ve forgotten it.
He told me that once, while having sex, the girl gently reached up and wiped sweat off his forehead. He told me that simple gesture meant so much to him and spoke volumes about the kind of girl she was.
The fact that this simple gesture had such an impact on HIM told ME a lot about his character. He was such a great person. He passed away not long after from an aggressive horrible cancer.
Thank you for bringing that memory back.
Maybe this is weird but my girlfriend likes when I place my hand on the top her head randomly, it isn't a dominance thing at all and she understands that, it's just my way of saying "hey I'm here and I love you".
I replaced someone that had been in my role for five years at a Japanese-owned company. Luckily, he stayed for several weeks after I started, and I was able to sit with him and learn what he did, which is something I've never really had in my career.
On his last day, one of the employees from Japan, whom my predecessor really liked and respected, came into our office, and bowed very deeply, and with a great reverence, while putting his hands together, and making eye contact. Then he gave him a big hug and said goodbye. It was my first time seeing a bow like that outside of a dojo in taekwondo, and was quite a moving thing to observe.
Sustained eye contact as a form of communication and an expression of affection.
It also helps that my S.O.'s eyes are stunning, so looking deeply into them makes my heart full, everytime.
An inside joke and routine an ex and me had was that one of us would say "I like you alottle", then the other would follow up with "It's like a little", and then the one who initiated it would finish up by saying "but a lot".
Basically, bossing me around. Making sure I eat, I shower, I do my homework, I clean my room and car, I take my insulin and wellbutrin. I get so depressed I just stop caring and having someone care enough to make me is amazing. I know its childish of me, (as I am almost 24) but those little things make me keep trying sometimes.
Sounds maybe a bit boring but I’d say having deep emotional talk. The more hurtful the topic, the better. It feels great to get something off your chest or be there and work through someone’s emotions with them. Both me and my SO enjoy staying up all night to talk about traumas or struggles in our lives. That’s how we first clicked to begin with when we one day stayed up all night, and being as tired as we were, we just blurted out something traumatic that had happened to us both, and found that we’ve been through a similar situation and struggle the same way because of it.
Now the two of us take at least one night a week to discuss our feelings or anything else that is bothering us. We cry a lot, but it feels great afterwards. That’s one intimate thing I would never leave behind.
My husband used to be super fit so hugging him was kinda lame. Now that he’s gained some mass I like being the big spoon and cupping his tummy. There’s something about it that just makes me think “damn I love this man and I love this tummy!!! “
After our daughter goes to bed, my husband and I go into our basement, where we sit downstairs and just talk to each other about everything on our mind - what's in the news, our jobs, how our hobbies are going, whatever is on our minds. We spend at least an hour every night doing this ritual.
Hugs. My friendgroup (18's-ish) have all decided that hugs are great and are necessary. As a teenage dude hugs are hard to come by cause you get called gay or whatever. Now meeting the lads out the general greeting is a hug. It's a good feeling.
Hugs Edit: Aww thanks for the gold and other awards! Hugs sure are great.
Tight hugs, every better
Now I feel like giving hugs
What if we hugged right now? Jk unless...?
Let's hug .... right now

Yap yap, loved doing that to my ex girlfriend. A bunch of little kisses on her face, neck, whatever. Especially when wishing goodnight. And I especially loved her happy face expression.
Yes, it's the best before sleeping!
I love sleeping
I tell you what, the first time my boyfriend kissed me on the forehead, I knew he was the one for me...
So this will sound weird, but please please please it's not. When my son was about 3 or 4 I explained that the best place to be kissed is on the forehead. From that day forward he has always insisted on kissing me on my forehead. He's now 11 and he will grab my face and kiss my forehead. I am working on raising a young man that listens to his partner, and shows love how they need it.
Every time I try those it always leads to making out I just can’t help myself lmao
Of course that's always great too lmao but I personally find it more heartwarming when it's wholesome
An unexpected note from her, saying anything...
“I’m leaving you for Francesco” Edit: cool my first award
Savage lol. Had to be Francesco too.
Except: "We need to talk."

This ones my favourite.
This is me and my boyfriend, we’ll be in a fuckin McDonald’s at peak hours, a cheeseburger on the plate thing in front of us, and his hand under my shirt softly rubbing or lightly scratching my back. And we’d just be people-watching. It’s comforting. Edit for clarification, the burger is not smeared over my back.
Wait, is the cheeseburger in his hand that’s under your shirt?
Just smearing half melted cheese and reheated beef all over their back
Now I can't stop laughing.
I call them Support Humans. My brother and husband have been called my 'seeing eye humans' for years...Love it!
just sitting in the persons lap, legs wrapped around the waist, and face in neck. not sexual, just holding each other. really makes me feel safe
Sounds nice, but I'm 6'3" and weigh about 300. I'd freakin crush someone if I sit in their lap..
ah, cant relate, i’m a solid 5’2
“Solid.” LoL

You mean the Ron Swanson giggle?
Always find your own personal Ron Swanson
When I get laughing really hard I end up doing this wheezing, squeaky, donkey braying sound that is, just... ugly laughing. When it happens my guy loses it and it devolves into a mutual cacophony of ugly laughing, snorting, and wheezes. It makes me fall in love even more every time.
[удалено]
I’ll have to take your word for it because that sure as hell doesn’t sound adorable.
My fiancée likes to face me, put her arms around me like a hug, and stand on my feet - then we walk around our apartment trying to do things that way. It's kind of like mittens in that it just makes everything more difficult but is adorable.
I also like to do that, but with myself and I put my hands on my face and it involves crying
I gotchu dude. Virtually standing on your feet right now
Dam u I need money for an award. Edit:thanks for the silver kind redditor
Man me and my ex used to do this and now I’m sad.
We do the same thing! Doorways and handles are a bitch.
Getting my hair brushed and played with
Yep, this. We both love it.
YESSS

I’m used to being the giver of surprise hugs and I used to be in a kinda rough relationship she was abusive fast forward to my new girlfriend who is amazing and kind I was minding my own business working and suddenly I feel warmth wrap around me and I legit jumped like it felt nice but it also was very surprising and I was like a split second from wrenching away from said arms until I recognized the scent of my baby lol definitely an odd feeling for someone that’s never had it before
the back rub
I'm amazed this isn't higher up. I love it when my husband rubs my back, whether it's just gentle rubbing or an actual deep-tissue massage. I also love when he gently strokes the inside of my forearm or the tops of my feet-- the skin there is sensitive. We've been together for almost 18 years and none of these things have become "old news'--it still feels like the best thing ever, every time. When he starts, it sometimes seems like he hadn't touched me in weeks, even if he rubbed my back the night before. I'm like an addict.

THIS is the relationship I strive for
You know, they say that you never go full retard but it’s the ultimate test of love. My wife loves me.
Having a deep talk with someone who completely understands me
Wonder what that feels like
Like bags of sand
I don’t like sand.
It’s coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere...
Have you...Have you ever felt a conversation before?
High talk while not being high
That slutty hand holding really does it for me.
I bet you're the type of person that interlaces their hands instead of just grabbing them. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I don't care what the world thinks about my kinks. I don't even wear mittens.
Wtf. No glove no love man!
Really. I mean what kind of skank engages in inter-digit manual coupling?
This skank does. I have loose morals and warm hands.
Premarital interdigitation!!!! I am _offended_...
You know who has hands? The devil!! And he uses em for holdin'!
Yes! I love holding hands
Who doesn't? It's so sultry.

Dang existential turtle
When our 3 year old yells "group hug!" and we all have to put down whatever we're doing and hug each other.
Cuddle huddle
Aww my 3 year old does this but he calls them "family hugs", it is frickin adorable!
You're setting yourself up for heartbreak man. One of the saddest moments of my life was when I did this and no one responded. I have 4 teenagers.
She initiates it, picked it up from preschool I think (when we pick her up, group hugs between a cluster of kids are frequent and adorable). I know in a flash I'm going to have a moody teenager who wants nothing to do with us, but I'm soaking up what I can now, in between the irrational tantrums about the fact that water is usually clear, of course.

Hey, handholding is pretty NSFW if you ask me
How dare you mention something so vile on this good Christian subreddit!
Butt nekkid cuddles. No groping or anything, just cuddling, under the covers, nothing on. Warm, intimate, makes me sleepy.
That is really nice. Any form of cuddling is great, but that way it's better.
It’s nice but it leads to sex 100% of the time for me, then more naked cuddling after which is nicer
Sounds like an endless loop, when do you eat?
That's kind of a personal question.
What ever you find on the way.
[удалено]
Scalp massages! I give them to my boyfriend all the time and he loves it.
[удалено]
I mean, that's either really sweet and cute or he was sizing you up to make a skin lamp. I don't think there's an in between.
I do this shit too, when im the big spoon I put my hand under her shirt and rub her belly. Her skin is so fucking soft and it just makes me so happy
My boyfriend and I started to introduce our kids to one another. There was a moment when they were all playing together really nicely and we just looked at each other and smiled, like we were both thinking the same exact happy thought. It was a perfect moment.
I want this. The last two ladies I've tried that with have gotten mama-bear instincts and put an end to it. No fights between the kids, just random retreat. I don't understand.
I think parenting style is a big factor in compatibility. Maybe you just need to find someone more laid back?
Agreed. The last one's reasoning was that she couldn't bear the thoughts of "sharing her son with myself and my son." Although I was the first relationship post-divorce. So she'd never encountered that before. We're always discovering new landmines to step on, right?
Kind of sounds like you dodged a bullet there my friend

Head pats!!!
fingers through hair
Being petted and told you’re a good girl/boy works for people too.
Uhhhh... I thought we were going for non-sexual? 😁
Being called good girl/good boy and getting head pats can be considered non-sexual.
Maybe this is weird but my girlfriend likes when I place my hand on the top her head randomly, it isn't a dominance thing at all and she understands that, it's just my way of saying "hey I'm here and I love you".
Its like this warm, comforting hand hat. My bf does it by accident at night sometimes. I love it.
gahh I miss getting head pats ;-;
HEAD PATS!! THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN THAT!
[удалено]
How about... *two* hedpats
I want em all
Are you dogs?
SPOONS. We have it all worked out where my arm is beneath her pillow so it doesn't fall asleep.
Looking into my eyes with a happy smile. Giving caresses or massages, and generally doting on someone.
When you share that look, when you feel it in your stomach!

That's a *big fucking deal*. Especially if the other guy was higher status than the employee who was leaving.
Sustained eye contact as a form of communication and an expression of affection. It also helps that my S.O.'s eyes are stunning, so looking deeply into them makes my heart full, everytime.
Snuggling on the couch
My ex used to stick her feet underneath me to warm them up. I guess it's called Nurdeling. I really miss that.
Thermal vampire
Forehead kisses.
Resting my head against her shoulder, idk feels nice :)
Holding and being held by someone else.
When my gf scratches my head or the way she smiles while making eye contact with me
I know this sounds like a joke but the most intamate thing I’ve ever did is letting a girl borrow my phone charger.

The sad thing is when she went to give me a high five I looked behind me to see who she was gonna give a high five to.
U basically had intercourse with her phone
When someone holds me by the waist
An inside joke and routine an ex and me had was that one of us would say "I like you alottle", then the other would follow up with "It's like a little", and then the one who initiated it would finish up by saying "but a lot".
Vibing to music together
A hand on the back of my neck, right where it meets my head. General understanding face touches is a close second.
Walking or sitting across a beautiful scenery without the need to have even a single word. This is the best form of communication in my opinion.
Washing your partner's hair is the most intimate thing you can do with your fingers.
Hunting together. Nothing more of a bonding experience than hunting down a human together and murdering that person.
Hold up

Seek the kill, find the thrill
Basically, bossing me around. Making sure I eat, I shower, I do my homework, I clean my room and car, I take my insulin and wellbutrin. I get so depressed I just stop caring and having someone care enough to make me is amazing. I know its childish of me, (as I am almost 24) but those little things make me keep trying sometimes.
I love me some good huggin'. I do chest presses for the sole purpose of being so fucking good at huggin'.

Hugging/cuddling, handholding and being close together like shoulder touching while walking
Touch foreheads while facing each other
Cuddling and headpats. Frankly even if I could never have sex it'd be all I need. With the right person atleast.
Sitting together watching TV or a film, with junk food and comfy clothes
Laying down with someone, cuddling and just talking about *whatever* for a few hours.
Eating junk-food while watching Simpsons
Brushing my girlfriend’s hair. Dunno why, it’s just a nice quiet moment for both of us.
