Hey well done Jeff!!! Thats what you should be doing ! You share a house, its perfectly ok to ask her how shes doing...but, maybe next time, stop and ask her..and wait for her response? Hold the mirror up to her?
The way you described it, it sounded like a drive by greeting! You snuck up, said it as you swept past and kept going?! What if you tried next time actually going and finding he and asking her what she's doing..? And then ask, how she is? And engage her in a little conversation, despite her grunts or frowns etc.
I guess the touching thing might be because she has closed herself off to you emotionally and also, plhysically. So she has like an exclusion zone around her immediate body that she either doesnt expect you to, or want you to invade. Have you ever had any DB coaching? I know its alot of money and thats an issue, but I'm sure they'd be able to help you.
You are doing ace! You are getting braver...
