OK I understand it is who you are but your wife may feel uncomfortable about this action.

I personally like hugs too and my prime love language is
touch, however that may not be your wifes langauge and may not make her feel relaxed.

The idea here is to get her to permanently start pursuing you.
Not for you to pursue her.

Your continued pursuit is likely to cause her to distance.

OK?
