I'm really curious if anyone has advice about how to deal with physical contact. I know that I shouldn't initiate at all, but if she initiates physical contact - i.e. holding hands or more, how do I handle this? I've been reading here that I shouldn't embrace too much if we hug, and treat that as if it were an acquaintance, which I can handle.
Let her initiate. Do less that her. IE let her into your space. Do not go into her personal space. IF she comes in for a kiss, offer your cheek.

I'm sure if she stays at the house that we'll end up having at least a small amount of time together, watching a show or movie.
I would be busy taking care of things. Leave the house to catch up with a friend or two.

Is this okay, and is more casual physical contact okay or even good, i.e. resting hands, arms on each other, or should I be keeping my distance - sitting farther apart or on a different couch? I really want to be prepared so that I can do this naturally when we're together.
