hey man, I think that those baby steps are great! It's ok to analyze - just don't let her know you are doing it
(I made that mistake and freaked her out).
I'm glad you are noticing the little things like the hand tap. That's where it starts.
Do you initiate any contact? Like if she's kinda in your "way" when you are walking around the house - and you gently touch her shoulder as you pass?
I'll have to say that sometimes, I would purposefully be in her way so she would HAVE to touch me to get around me. Sounds silly but I would take what I could get.
