Think About It
Grab his hand and one finger and look him straight in the eyes, "Touch me again and I'll break it."
That's classy. How about being a big girl about it and figure out a way to tell him without breaking his fingers or destroying what dignity a 60yo man still has.

My dad always told me, "Don't threaten anyone. Promise it."
I could really cause a lot of pain to that guy.
Sawing his head off could be last resort
Realistically, though, I'll tell him not to do that again at the moment he does.
That's all it'll take. Simple.

Utterly brilliant. Sure, threaten to break someone finger for doing something they don't even know is bothering you.
Or, and this might sound crazy, but you could politely ask him to not do that in private. I know, it's a bold and risky plan, but it just might work.

Oh, please.
As I was writing my last post, you guys really read me wrong.
By the way, that's LIFE, not shit.
Sith happens. Best to get some ideas on how to deal with it appropriately before doing something you regret, don't you think?

Entirely Possible,
Why do you read my threads?
I'll be sure to run my thread ideas through you in a PM before posting them so you can okay them first.

Sith happens.
And that's why the dark side can be entertaining....

Poopsiecakes, oh yeah that dark side is enrapturing!
I have a shirt with a little monster on it holding a plate of cookies and it says, "Come to the Dark Side. We Have Cookies!"
Embrace your dark side, E.P.!

I feel uncomfortable and don't want to talk to you when you touch me during our conversations

It's life when it happens once or twice and learn from it. when it happens over and over and over....

I never said it WASN'T a good idea. I completely agree. However, since you bring it up, you tend to ask for advice and, when someone has the audacity to offer a different perspective than that you were somehow wronged (which is pretty much the theme of these threads, you were wronged and are a victim somehow), you go off like a crazy woman.
Go back and OJECTIVELY re-read those threads. You might find a common theme that could help you see some things you need to work on.
And, before you go off about me not being perfect either, none of us are. I know I am not. In fact, I actively have a mentor that I will frequently ask for candid, objective advice in an effort for self improvement. That's the key, self improvement, not validation that someone somehow wronged me in a situation. Even if someone DID wrong me, it can be self improvement to rise above it when it's not worth dealing with. Speaking of which....
