How to approach W about OM

[OfficerInNeed]

An issue in the past was a lack of public affection. I want to be able to show her this affection as we do more and more things together but I don't think my attempts would be welcomed. I don't want to pressure her and I don't want to set myself up for that rejection. Do I do it and see how she reacts? When I say it I mean, the hand holding, the closeness in public, the arm around her ect... I did at one point ask her if I made her feel uncomfortable and she replied no. I just don't want to make any unwanted contact at the same time I don't want to sit back and be the same guy I once was.
