No, this is 2022 and we model consent that we want to see others treat us with.
You say "you can put your arm around me if you'd like, I'd like that"
[–]alexmaycovid 35 points36 points37 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
if he doesn't like it he will take his arm away. It's not like you sit on his face. It's just arm
[–]bDsmDom 15 points16 points17 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yes, but we eventually want to escalate it to face sitting, so it's good to establish healthy communication for simple stuff like arm holding.
[–]alexmaycovid 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Oh yeah it's more easier but you need to develop a trust when you can openly talk about this stuff

[–]Mistermistery101 42 points43 points44 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I understand how you feel. Guys more or less are used to rejection. Girls tend to be less acclimated to it. But you gotta understand that there's 2 options. Either you wait for something that might never happen, or you try and see what happens by taking a little initiative.
Those are the 2 options. Let's say you take the initiative. Anything other than you just placing his arm you will be too try hard. Place his arm and see how he reacts. That might just be the push he needs to take the lead

Put your head on their shoulder or simply ask

Putting head on shoulder works

[–]MoonMan12321 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
OP, you are so anxious. Please meditate or take a walk or something. Your anxiety wouldn't help your romance.
[–]alexmaycovid 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well, I take a girl by the hand and lead her to a place where we are going to be on the first date. 70% of girls allow it. I suppose he likes you. So you will have success.
[–]willgo-waggins 43 points44 points45 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
So I’m not going to be a juvenile prick like most of these clowns.
When my girl wants this - even times when we are standing and talking to people and she is just feeling that she needs my love or support at the moment - she will just gently bend her head down and nuzzle into my chest slightly. It’s a signal I learned almost immediately meant she wanted me to hold her - even if only for a brief moment - and I respond automatically by putting my arm around her.
Try some sort of obvious physical signal like this to start. Or if he seems just clueless then just ask “would you mind holding me?” And keep it straightforward and simple.
If he rejects or declines then you know you don’t need to waste your time with him any more.
[–]bobsbitchtitz 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Put your head on his shoulder like towards the clavicle his natural reaction will be to put his hand around you.
[–]daggershield 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Tell him or just take is arm and out it around you

Note to all women. Sometimes us guys get too far in our heads for various reasons.. I will apologize for them.
Point of this lesson Take the leap. Make a move. Be like Nike and “ Just do it”
We will be ever so grateful!!
I know it’s scary Trust me I know all too well.
Or
Just tell us to stop being a bitch and do it.
This is my ted talk
[–][deleted] 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No reason to apologize. Presuming you can put your arm around someone (a female) is a recipe for disaster unless you know otherwise.
we aren't psychics or mind readers.

How do I know when to put my arm around a girl I like?
[–]alexmaycovid 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
When you sit next to each other and have a good connection. If you already kissed you can do it almost whenever you sit next to her
[–]domo94 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nudge your shoulder into him like a dog would. Get close to him.
[–]Granny_Killa 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lean your head onto his shoulder

Tbh its super cool when i woman just straight up puts my arm over her, or like tries to sort of squeeze under it
[–]Both_Move2565 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sit yourself really close to him like you’re literally on him and he should catch the drift! If he doesn’t then he has no game and is shy out of his mind
[–]quadfintryfin 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If this is a serious question then the serious response is to enable him to do it.
We live in a world where normal / good dudes (especially young men) are paranoid about “sexually assaulting” a woman by showing affection.
I’m by no means saying there aren’t creeper guys that will try to get handsy, but normal dudes have to walk this line even moreso these days.
[–]danishruyu1 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Sometimes just being direct can be super helpful and even appreciated. One time a girl I just started dating invited me over and basically said “let’s cuddle, let me get some blankets?” and there you go. Point was she took the initiative and it escalated. Pretty sure 99% of guys that are interested would love that.
You don’t have to make him sit there and wonder if his arm needs to go around you. You don’t even have to say anything if you’re shy. Just lean your head on his shoulder and that’s enough of a signal. It’ll work.
[–]WhosYourBuddha89 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ask them to. But since you're asking that question I assume you want to be more subtle. So:
Step 1: Yawn.
Step 2: Look into his eyes and ask him if you could cuddle onto his shoulder.
Step 3: I think your desired move by him is a natural consequence for most people in this situation.
[–]al-long 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Play a game of ‘count the shoulders’ , worked for me :)
[–]nk9axYuvoxaNVzDbtFhx 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
What's this game?
[–]al-long 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
While sitting beside him say “using finger on ur hand that’s right between us , count while touching each of our shoulders starting from ur own outer shoulder” There must be a seduction video of it somewhere :)
[–]nk9axYuvoxaNVzDbtFhx 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's brilliant!
[–]FlatDistance5 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
If you’re a whale tell him before hand that you like him, and see if he’s interested, because he might not know how to let you down.
If your attractive (not a whale) in any combination, cute face, nice body, maybe your face isn’t that cute, doesn’t matterand he’s spending time alone with you. Then if he’s not brave enough, when you sit next to him put your leg next to his touching. Then about 15 minutes into the movie if he hasn’t taken initiative, grab hand lift it up, lean into him and put his hand arm behind you with his hand on your boob (make sure you’re wearing a tank top no bra)
If he keeps his hand there or starts moving fingers then you start slowly taking control let him no what you want don’t tell him, direct him until he takes control. If he moves his hand away don’t worry about it. Maybe he’s the guys who’s really nervous
Edit: fuck my broken English… you guys get what Im saying

Dont listen to this guy. Fuck this guy You are beautiful
[–]-Mavs -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is for the guys.
You need to make a move to show that you’re interested in her romantically and not kill the mood by not trying.
If she pulls away and shows indications of not wanting to be touched get her the fuck out of there, stop wasting your time and lose her number otherwise mindfuck and games down the road.
[–]graduallywinning -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
He would not be sitting next to you if he didn't want to put his arm around you.
Similarly men, if a woman is sat next to you alone to watch something, she wants you to put your arm around her.
[–]determinator94 -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You don’t; it’s either the guy puts his arm around you or he doesn’t. Don’t try to put in more effort than you need to; it’ll exhaust you.
[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
By looking deeply in his eyes with a sexy smile, lick your lips, wink, grab his thigh and whisper “put your arm around me you hunk”.

I will just go ahead and tell the lady to come next to me, and we will cuddle during a movie. Should be no issue.
[–]GroundbreakingAd8077 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lean on him, or just put it around you
Are you guys dating?
[–]dbie 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Tell them you feel cold.
Just take his hand it put it around you. I did it with girls if it works with girls it should work with guys more easily
[–]No_Lettuce7271 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ask him to count shoulders…his and yours!
As someone said before, girls are not used to rejection and if a guy is nervous or if he hesitates, it can feel like a rejection. We guys can be dumb af. Best way is to ask right away, or wait forever if he's not getting your signals. Also, don't punish him if he's not getting any signals, if you think he's not, be open about it. Like I said, we can be dumb af sometimes.
[–]Otherwise_Rub_9736 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Whenever I’ve been at a guys house and felt like I wanted/needed a hug I’d just say, “can you hold me?” The average reactive I’ve gotten is surprised eyes and a pleased smirk, followed by them actually holding me. They’ll typically ask, “like this?” and that’s when I usually adjust the position or sometimes, hold onto them too.
You can lean gently on his shoulder and look him into the eyes.
[–]Gwarshow 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just grab his hand and place his arm around you. What's so hard about this?

Ugh…you guys are so frustrating. Just take his hand and wrap it around you silly.
[–]hootingstar 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Make them comfortable, and give them some hints like saying "Hug me already, will you?" out loud. If you can do it like you are his mom, the action will be instantaneous.
[–]AstralValProjection 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Hey let's count shoulders. 1-2-3-4.
She proceeded to laugh called me a dork then decided she wanted to be little spoon instead.
You could point to his arm and say "lift." When he does scute under it.
