How would I let them know...?
I have this thing with being touched, I absolutely hate it, and freak out. Accidental touches don't bother me, I barely register them. When its done on purpose, I freak, and say (almost yell) "Don't touch me!"
The weird part is, some people can touch me, and I have no problems with it, it doesn't freak me out, other people touch me, and I freak, it makes my skin crawl. There is no gender preference, there is no trust thing (that I know of) as some people I trust with my life, I can't stand them touching me, and some that I don't trust, them touching me doesn't bother me.
But there's this one guy, I have a crush on him, and when he touches me, it doesn't bother me, and I don't know why, but I'd like to let him know that just because I seem upset with him after he touches me, that it didn't bother me, and I kind of liked it.
By touching I don't mean fondling or anything, I mean like a tap on the shoulder, or trying to tickle me, or a hand on the back or shoulder letting me know they are there or that they need me to move.
As far as I can tell, the crush doesn't have a thing to do with my being touched issue, as I've had crushes on guys from afar and then when I got to know them and they'd touch me, I would freak.
It's not inappropriate touching. Its usually a tap on the shoulder to get my attention, or a passing wack on the shoulder, or a hand on my shoulder/arm that lets me know somebody is behind me or has a gentle pressure behind it that lets me know they need me to move. It doesn't matter on male/female, as I freak out no matter what, except this one guy and there's a girl I've become friends with, but a good deal of the time her touch freaks me out too. Also, this is one of about 5 guys in my 18 yrs of life that I don't freak at his touch (even if it is innocent touch). I should have mentioned, this is while I'm at work, but I always freak when I'm touched, even by some family members.

just tell him that it's just a phobia of yours that can be triggered at anytime by anyone and you don't want to freak him out

I feel the same.....
There is no gender preference, right.....
Sometimes, when I feel guys who do it on purpose just want to flirt......I freak out and I say "Don't touch me"
I talk to them personally and I say...I don't like being touched that way.....
