I love to shake and you can squeeze!

No squeezing. Just shaking (to listen for loose seeds) & smelling. Works for me.

Yes, and I always smell them also. If you smell where the vine detachted you can smell the ripeness.

Heavens no!
I kiss them with my finger tips and smell the blossom end.
A watermelon does need to be tapped.

Just touch the fruits to feel the texture.

I thump them and listen for that "ripe" sound.
