Let us assume women in this case really are bubbly and just naturally touchy - but even those women have to draw a line somewhere. Yes, a lot of men really do seem to interpret shoulder taps, hugs or when woman merely touches their arm during a conversation as flirting. Which is a tad to optimistic. But lets be real here: even among touchy feely women there are some touches that clearly separate platonic affection from flirting. I have had cases where I was grabbed by the waist, pulled up close, mimed a kiss inches from my face, squeezed by the pec or her hand brushing against the waistline of my jeans and women still tried to play it off as "touchy feely" asking me if I'm a robot for feeling it went too far. Then I did a uno-reverse and asked them how it would go if I did this to a woman and they just went speechless...

TL:DR: drop some clear signs of flirty/touchy behavior that clearly trespasses into suggestive behavior even if its a bubbly woman. Becaus
