I'd like to have information about interaction with a girl

[Franka99]

I went out recently and met a girl. I hardly knew her. At one point she said, your shirt doesn't fit right. She asked if she could do it right. She did so, touching my chest and looking straight into my eyes. What could this mean?

You could forgo the cardigan given a warm head band.

Leg warmers seem to be back in fashion, I wonder if arm warmers could work. You’re right, would be a shame to lose the effect of the string vest.

but she certainly didn't seem to mind

Yeah I’ve been there, putting on a brave face. It can be very intimidating when someone touches you in a public place, having to smile and laugh along.

This used to be very common in work environments, luckily it’s being stamped out and people are less likely to go along with things now and call people out over it.

Back to the shirt, was it a rounded collar or more pointed? Short or long sleeved?

You're not one of those fat necked rugby players who insist on not folding their collar down properly, are you?

I said I had to go and put my arm around her waist for a moment

Ugh.
You shouldn't have done that.

It means you looked like you got dressed without the benefit of a mirror.

You are 32?
That's worrying.

More pointed, short sleeved. I was NOT sloppily dressed

^^

why?

Well one person’s idea of sloppily dressed isn’t the same as another’s obviously.

Personally I am not keen on short sleeved shirts, I don’t think they look as good as long sleeved ones, and I find them uncomfortable.

If you like it then it’s all that matters. But, next time don’t touch men/women/children/etc on the waist (or anywhere for that matter) unless you have asked them.

I thought it was possible, after all, she had also touched me and let me drink from her glass

Well you shouldn’t assume. She asked if she could rearrange your wonky collar and she asked you if you wanted to try her beer.

You should afford her the same courtesy.

Even with children I vaguely know, I wouldn’t start touching them even if they’d offered to share their ice cream with me.

My work colleagues have also offered me food etc and I wouldn’t touch them without asking.

You are 32, you really should have some knowledge of consent. As you are so completely unsure of social interactions that you are asking mumsnet (and nothing wrong with that, it’s always best to seek advice on things you don’t know), you really shouldn’t be touching people without asking their permission.
