[quote=Anonymous]Touch her more often in non sexy ways with zero expectation of sex.  Women touch people more often than men do, and men often expect touching to lead to sex.  So just touch her forearm  when talking to her, walk past and pat her shoulder, just simple touches.

Also listen.  You just make it a point to listen more to her.  Don't offer advice or solutions - just listen to what she has to say about her day or her boss or whatever.  Later, maybe make a point that echoes her point, or say, I was thinking about what you said and ......

Ask her opnion of things.  A dilemma at work, or buying a new shirt, or something.  Or a problem in your local community or nationally.  Listen to her advice.

Don't save it all for date night/ special occasion.  Not every night, but often we do "rose bud thorn" at dinner.  Everyone says one thing good that happened to them that day (the rose), one thing bad (the thorn) and one thing they're looking forward to (bud).  Another family I know does two peaches (good things) and a pit (bad thing).  Just keep talking openly.  Knowing how your partner thinks builds intimacy.  [/quote]
