It's an important skill but it's not enough. Even a girl that's attracted to you can get uncomfortable if you touch her too much.

A shy girl might get uncomfortable with physical touch from a guy she's attracted to. Another girl who isn't attracted to the same guy might find the same amount of physical touch acceptable.

I agree with your comment.

It's just that noticing when someone is attracted to you frequently gets left out of advice.

I'm selfishly glad my husband was late in learning that. If he'd learned sooner, he'd have been married to someone else long before we met. :-)

Yes. I creeped out girls who had cold-approached me first a few times in the past.
