How to become comfortable initiating physical contact, even with people who aren't close friends?
I really like hugs, hand holding, when people touch my shoulder or arm, feel my hair, and other forms of physical contact. I'd love to become comfortable with initiating it, but I feel shy with people I don't know super well and don't know when the contact is welcome so I don't initiate it. It probably gives off the impression that I'm freaked out by contact, so people don't really have a chance to see that I like it.
How can I know when physical contact will be welcome and how can I become comfortable with initiating it?
Thanks a ton!
Oh, and cheek kisses.
I mean with people who aren't lovers, and who are friends or people you meet. Some people meet you and right away they give you a hug and cheek kiss and they make you feel comfortable with them right away because of that. I'd love to feel natural about doing that.

well comfort will come if you are intimate with the same person, you learn each others likes and rhythms.as for the perfect time hugs, hand holding, touch of shoulder and cheek kisses are OK every time. fell of hair and further you should wait until you two are alone. if he or she returns your affections then you are ok but if he or she ignores or confronts you then you should stop.
