But, from a male perspective, do you think it comes off as too forward, awkwardly flirtatious or desperate?


I think just a touch on the arm or shoulder is fine, a hug is kind of borderline and a kiss would be too much. I pushed the hugging with my W too much too early and as I've mentioned in other threads, her response was to pat my back over and over in a way that said "let me go!" LOL! I finally got the hint and just quit hugging her. It took months, but she finally started initiating hugs herself and they're the old pre-BD type personal hugs, not the pat-on-the-back hugs. She's also kissing me on the lips and even scratched my back a week ago. It's all about the baby steps!
