When you're talking with someone, touching their elbow, shoulder, or arm is a simple way to start physical contact. It only needs to last 1 or 2 seconds. Touch lightly so you're not putting too much pressure on the other person. For instance, you might come up to someone and touch their shoulder while saying hello.
Keep your touches light and short so she doesn't get uncomfortable. If you two have been having a fun conversation so far, feel free to gently touch her on the hand or on the forearm. Don't go any higher than that, and definitely don't try to grab her waist or anywhere on her torso.
Ask her if she would like to be touched with a phrase like "Can we hold hands?", or move slowly but clearly. Give her a light and casual touch. Brush your arm up against hers, place your hand on the small of her back, or just pass her a pen or a notebook and let your hands linger near each other's.
1. Flirty Touching. Touching is a powerful way to communicate your attraction to someone and can help build a sense of intimacy between you. Flirty touching can range from a subtle light touch on the arm to a more intimate embrace.
Some sure signals he or she's attracted to you are: They're giving you their undivided attention. They're giving you lots of flirty eye contact. They're flirting by using lots of physical contact: their hand on your knee, touching your hand, etc.
He might not touch back, but if he does, you've definitely got the green light. Men who are attracted to you might even engage in more touch. If a man actively tries to touch you during your interaction, it may mean he wants to get closer to you or close the distance between you two.

Footsies (also footsy or footsie) is a flirting game where two people touch feet under a table or otherwise concealed place, often as a romantic prelude.
Physical flirts are big on touching. They'll lean into you, adjust their stance toward you, play with their hair or put focus on their mouth—this style of flirting is sexually charged, to say the least.
If your crush never makes any moves to be near your or even seems to actively avoid situations where you might be in physical contact, that's a pretty good indicator they're not looking for anything romantic.
He is looking at your lips
If his gaze keeps slipping down to your lips while he's talking to you, it's a sign that he is admiring you, fantasising about you and might even want to start a stable, long-term relationship with you," says Madan.
Hug her when you see her.
This is very casual and common among friends. Hugging shows her that you are excited to see her and is a good start to initiating physical contact. If she refrains from hugging you back, she may be uncomfortable or uninterested and you should hold back.
This hug is about passionate love and romance between two people, wherein the guy wraps his arms around the girl's waist while the girl wraps her arms around the guy's neck, evoking a sense of high school romance. So, if you and your partner hug this way, you allow your love life to live and grow.
Paying attention to a man's body language clues can help you decipher whether he is interested. If a man likes you, he may sit facing you with his legs spread open. This indicates that he is open and receptive to you.
Guys that are into you often use lots of emojis, text first, or even double text. Watch for in-person signs, like holding eye contact, respectful little touches, or leaning in close. A follow-up text after a date or hangout, or a raincheck when he can't make it are sure signs that he wants to spend more time with you.
In the world of body language, there are no accidents. Don't mistake an “accidental” touch for an accident. If you notice her touching you, it might be an accident, sure. But if it happens for a second time, or a third, she may truly be interested in you.
“Women have evolved mechanisms to be choosy about whom they mate with and to fear rape by a stranger. However, touch by friends is both relational – women tend to befriend as a buffer against stress – and pleasurable. Touch gives a nice boost of dopamine, the 'feel-good' hormone.”
Sometimes women also touch themselves unknowingly (no, not what you're thinking!), to calm their excitement. She may rub her thighs or her arms or keep crossing or non-crossing her legs either out of excitement or sheer nervousness.
