Physical Contact 101

A few quick tips about physical contact...

If a girl wants to hold your hand she will make it AVAILABLE TO YOU! She will not have her arms folded. She will not have her hands folded in her lap. She most likely will brush up against you like it's an accident.

If you are walking side by side and her purse is on the shoulder or arm that is closest to you... do NOT get closer. She is most likely shutting you down.

If she yawns... that is not an invitation to stick your finger in her mouth! That is both creepy and disgusting.

Hugging: Guys make yourself available... then let her come to you. It's not creepy if she initiates.

Kissing... you cannot attempt to get to second base if you haven't been invited to step up to the plate. Along those lines... if she dodges the first kiss, your best bet is to let her initiate the next one.

Let her be a part of the decision to kiss. Hitch had it right with the 90/10 scenario.

If upon meeting someone for the first time you feel an unsolicited urge to rub her shoulders... RESIST. This will cause you to be known as a creeper among her group of friends and will discourage her from dating you.

DO open the car door and offer your hand to help her out. Especially if she is wearing a dress and/or heels.

DO offer her your arm to cross the parking lot, sidewalk or stairs. This is particularly endearing if the weather is treacherous and the conditions you are walking in are less than perfect.
