I got to know this guy at my friend’s wedding and we hit it off so well that we continued hanging out days after.
Whenever I’m with him, we always have a lot to talk about and there’s just something about him that makes me feel comfortable to confide in.
I would like to think that the feeling’s mutual because he’s always the one initiating our meet-ups. On our most recent date, he sneakily held my hand when we were crossing the road.
I thought there would be butterflies in my stomach and it would be very sweet and romantic but all I could think about at that moment were how clammy his hand felt. Honestly, it was a bit gross because after he let go of my hand, I could still feel his hand perspiration lingering in my palm. I
sniffed my hand and it smelled so much like a damp sock I gagged a bit. Ever since that day, I’ve been trying to put off meeting him because I’m afraid he’ll hold my hand again. I feel bad because he knows I’m avoiding him and he keeps apologising for scaring me. I want to clear this up with him but I don’t know how to tell him that I don’t want to hold his hand not because I don’t like him but because his sweaty palms are disgusting.
I also can’t imagine if his palms are already so sweaty, even if I can get past this, next time when I hug him, won’t his armpits be even worse?
Here are what netizens think:
- Why you smell in the first place
- Deep down you actually like the smell right, you go home then never wash your hand for 10 days and seal your hands in a ziploc bag.
- Everyone has their quirks la, mai kao peh
