Just a Boob Squeeze, Please

I'm about 2 weeks into the dating detox.  So far, it's awkward but fun.

I recently hung out with a very handsome male friend.  The most physical contact we had was a high-five, ok, two high-fives.  I might have touched his arm once.

That's about the only physical contact with dudes that is allowed in this detox.

My mind is totally on-board with this concept (like giving up alcohol or sugar or anything else), but my body isn't 100% sure that this is the best idea.

The other night, the dialogue between Mind & Body:

Body: He's really handsome and charming...a little cuddling wouldn't be a bad thing, right?  Cuddling doesn't really count...
Mind: This dating detox is brilliant.  I love high-fives.
Body: Maybe just a bicep squeeze or a really tight hug?  Maybe a lingering hug... please!!
Mind: Intellectual, fun and fulfilling conversation.  That's satisfaction.
Body: Really? Ok. I guess I'll get on-board the boring train. Ugh.

Once in a while it will hit me that I'm consciously choosing to not engage in a dating.

No first kisses, no hand holding, no occasional knee touches while driving, nada.  

And then I'll tell myself that it's only six months.  And then I'll hear, "Six months?!?!"

It's hilarious.  And it's a journey.  Let's do this.
