All three are correct. (1) and (2) are almost synonyms, with (2) being the more formal of the two. They mean to stay in fairly regular contact with someone, exchanging news and information.



"Please touch base" would usually have more modifiers included, such as "please touch base with us from time to time." It is a less regular and more intermittent type of contact, every now and then, once in a while, like checking in for further instructions. The idiom comes from baseball, where the runner must touch each base with his foot as he makes the circuit from home plate to first base, second base, third base, and back to home plate again.

The first two are the same, and imply ongoing communication. The third just means to make a single contact, like a quick telephone call. To convey the same sense as the first two, you could say "Please touch base with me every once in a while."

Well are you complaining? If you are call him out next time or smack him. I guess thats normal if your under 15 then its probably not. But thats usually the first sign that your gonna be pressured for sex and you need to make a decision. Im not judging you but you might not want to be pregnat. It sounds like hes using you, im sorry but this kid sound like he just wants your body not you cause if he only does it around friends its probably true and you might be labeled a whore or slut if you keep letting him get to 2nd base and letting him touch you all over

1. To stay in contact with a person

2. The same as number 1.

3. Means to touch first base, like kiss someone.
