How do I give a neck and back massage to a shy man?

Question - (8 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 9 March 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I'm meeting up with a guy around Easter. I'm going to ask him if he wants to watch a movie (preferably at his house as it would be more comfortable). He's an older man and is not married; we've known each other for about five years and have been good friends for three. We have flirted a lot lately, back to last summer.

I'm thinking of trying to touch him for the first time, just something simple that will give him a non-verbal clue that I really like him and can't stop thinking about him. A lot of people have told me a neck and shoulder massage would do the trick. Unfortunately, we are both painfully shy and I'm not too sure (a) if I should really do that, and (b) how to go about that if it is a good idea. I mean, he's shy and he KNOWS I'm just as shy so I'm not sure, if I attempt that, if it'll just scare him.

So, any thoughts? And if that is a good way to break the touch barrier, how to I go about doing that? I guess I don't just walk up behind him and start massaging his shoulders, right? That would surely make him jump. Not to mention I've never given a massage to a guy before so if I'm gonna do it, I wanna do it right.

I would suggest going to a bar, Then you can have a few drinks give him a kiss and judge his reaction if its not positive just apologize and say your drunk. But from a guys perspective if hes that shy an aggressive female is probably what he needs to g tout of his shell. You shouldnt worry about scarying him off he might even be hoping you make a move so he doesnt have to.

You may have known him for several years, done some flirting with him, but even so, you don't want to send the wrong message, or start out hot and heavy - and going to his house on a first date to give him a massage, however well-intentioned, would do just that.

Just go out for lunch or coffee and hold hands, hug, or give the back of his neck a little light rub - just casually, maybe if you're walking down the street and stop to look in a shop window, sort of situation.

Then next time go to a movie theater, or see a play, or go to a concert, or go bowling. You can talk together and become more at ease. Plenty of time further "down the road" to go to his home. If you're in too much of a rush now, it could indeed scare him off. Nice, slow and easy does it at this point.
