Damn Mia, that's one hot story!! Love it. Women such as you and Rachael are rare finds. Very glad to hear from your perspective on things. There's plenty who admit to NOT liking it, and being a person who loves too tickle, when someone such as you two speak up its refreshing to hear. Thanks for sharing!!
You haven't experienced awkward until you tried to tickle someone who is not ticklish.
Unfortunately its happened more often than I like, and that really sucks!! That why I always ask before I commit to making a date. When that's what you're looking for and then its not there..... not fun at all......
