Then we just dissected the crap out of how we feel about all these different languages. Analyzing how our pasts and different relationships have impacted how we feel about them.

We graze past the concept of consent. Everyone has different thresholds for interactions and it’s important to ask before you engage with someone… *cough* Gina *cough* you can’t just hug people. We discuss how our different levels have impacted our friendships and how we interact physically with each other. We also discuss American touch culture, and how it compares to our interactions in Spain and Japan. How do you determine the motivation behind your desire for physical touch? Is it touch starvation? Is it horniness? How do they differ?

Touch Starvation

Have you ever been in loved? (lol)

We discussed being loved and loving in a romantic way… but not necessarily marriage.

But not mawwage….

This part is hard… Talking about love is hard. Hit you like a ton of bricks, falling in love like falling asleep, wouldn’t wish it on your worst enemy kind of love.

We discuss the validity of crushes as an emotional experience. How it’s fun and can be the preamble to a good thing! Or a many-year-long crushing experience. Does it need to be reciprocal to count as real love?

We discuss how the media represents love and how that meshes with our interpretation of love. Should the love interest be vacuuming the whole time? Would that make a better movie?
