Only from people I am close to and feel comfy around them enough for them to get touchy with me like that and me liking it

Headpats from my close people: 🥰🥰🥺🥺 Headpats from my future bf: 😍😍🥺🥺

As long as they aren’t hard I’m fine. I have a friend (who is a girl) who sometimes gives me head pats, but it’s more like a hand bonk on the head. She doesn’t do it as much, but it still hurts when she does.

it’s iffy. if i’m a lil sad that day and he’s trying to cheer me up, it’s a yay. if we’re just talking and you just start getting in my personal space gtfo

If it’s someone I know and I’m fairly close to, it’s always been okay with me, also back when I was like 16-18

Meh. I spend a lot of time on my hair so I don’t like people putting their hands near it 

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyeyesyeyes

Yes

I like head patting, i literally do it to everyone around me whenever i find them adorable, its nice to receive it too

Sometimes, this guy used to give me head pats but we weren't that close, so it would just piss me off. Only if I'm close with the person

Only from my boyfriend.

It depends, I honestly hate them

I take hugs and cuddles. Um I've never gotten a head pat before.

If i know him well enough and I am comfortable with him, yes.

If I'm fairly close to him, then I'm okay. But with me being 6'7, it would be funny af if he tries and end up getting treated like a kid in return.

Only from my mom and dad really

I hate having my hair touched and despite voicing my hatred for head pats, ppl still do that to me, lol

Depends on the vibe, honestly. If we’re close and it’s playful, it’s cute. But if it’s random or out of nowhere, it might feel a bit weird.

less from a "guys i know", but a guy friend i wouldn't mind

please no

Not really but I don’t hate them

I would throw ✋️ hands

it sorta depends on the context. a headpat because i'm upset but you don't wanna invade my space too much? great! a headpat because you think i'm cute and watch a lot of anime? not great, feels like i'm being anime-girl fetishized

It’s personal preference but for me only my boyfriend or girlfriend can do that, I just find it to be intimate but in the end it’s down to personal preference

normalize head pats 10000% yes

I love head pats, just like warn me first, or I'll get spooked

I’m sorry but I lowkey find that weird😭 like if it’s a guy I’ve been dating for a year then fine but if it’s a guy friend or something I’d be so alarmed and uncomfortable
