Seriously, you are right to imagine this to be a good way to close the distance. It may cloud the waters a bit, but I know you'll be just fine, as you have an internal radar to guide you now and you're no longer dependent on reading external landmarks/reactions. Ok, ok, enough nautical analogies!
Stay strong and firm like a stout lighthouse sending its piercing light jutting through the fog (is that phallic or what?), and you'll help her to navigate to safe shores as well. Alright, alright, I'll stop.
