Thanks for listing those things. I believe my H has done those as well in the past...but that all too often, in my perspective, simply wasn't received as "desire". I guess because those signals are just waaaaaaaay too subtle.
For me hugging your H or W is just something you do, just because...it doesn't denote "desire" from an HDW perspective. I've often wondered if that's what he was doing (in retrospect) but at the time lemme tell ya....it was COMPLETELY missed.
Same goes for sneaking a peek too. For me...I might catch him doing that, but then think...sure you'll look at me...but you won't touch me.
And....my H would also occasionally slap me on the butt...but you know what? Football players get slapped on the ass all the time...so did I when playing sports (in that "go get em!" kind of a way). So for me that was more interpreted as a sign of affection too than anything else.
See what I mean.....too subtle!
My H now will come up and nibble on my neck a bit, this is something I've told him makes me wobbly in the knees...that, works much better! That at least is something a man would do to his W...not anyone else.
