    It is okay to just talk about it. Let her know you like her and ask her if a kiss would be ok. You can lead up to a kiss gradually by first making eye contact, or maybe by gently touching her arm. But there is nothing like just talking about it!

    Make sure you have good oral hygiene, especially before a date. Be gentle. You can follow her lead by paying attention to how she kisses back. Does she like small short kisses, or does she like harder kissing?

    Be gentle. Say endearing things to her while you hug her. Try hugging her in a non-sexual way—like you are only giving to her and not trying to get anything from her. She will notice it.

    Be kind and courteous. Ask her if it is okay to put your arm around her shoulder. Pay her a compliment. Greet her when you first see her. If you are already in the habit of kissing, then kiss and hug her upon greeting.

    Expert Answer
    I'm not sure you can get her to want to kiss or hug. That behavior grows out of of a "liking" or "caring." You can be kind and thoughtful, and if she has feelings for you, hugs and kisses may follow. But don't push it.

    Expert Answer
    Physical contact of any kind can be more difficult for shy people. First of all, you can just be comfortable. Be open, direct, and honest in stating that you like him. Maybe just do a gentle touch on his arm at a movie, or a touch on his shoulder. Be patient and give him space.
