My question is regarding touch, specifically something I heard on a dating Youtube channel ages ago. I understand that touch is important for communicating intent, escalating and creating sexual tension and though if I overthink it I seem to get nervous, I seem to be able to push through regardless.

​

The video mentioned that touch can be useful as a 'ping' - As in her reaction when you touch her can serve as a kind of measurement as to whether she's ok with the current level of touch. Problem is I cant remember the details and if I don't iron that out I think it's going to keep tripping up.

​

If you touch her and she touches you back is that the successful 'ping'?

Or if you touch her and she seems ok with it but doesn't touch you back does that mean you're good?

Basically does the touch have to be reciprocated for it to be a good sign or does she just not have to run for the hills for it to be a good sign? I'd imagine not all girls are confident enough to touch a guy she barely knows?

​

Appreciated!
