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.

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