Hugs, holding her hand, padding her belly, touching her face are all things I have tried in the past few months which got me a negative grin on her face. So I stopped all those.
1.5 months ago I started to try with pats in the back as well as lightly touching her waist/hip when asking misc questions (about what food to get or so) and I never got a negative response there. So I continue to do those as they are becoming almost "routine" to my dealing with her.
The massages I just started a couple of weeks ago. I can tell you that the last time I did it she was on her phone on social media off an on and was even asking me if I felt the swelling of her feet. She did not pull back at all. All times I had to stop (since she would never tell me to stop). Now, I though to add a twist to this and don't pursue this for a few days (don't want her to think I am getting too comfortable) thoughts?
