Well, I usually have the same problem, mostly out of fear (is that person into PDAs?). It's why I act all cold and distant most of the time.
But once I know it to be safe, you'll have a hard time stopping me. For example, once I noticed "the guy" was all very very touchy with EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE, I knew I could be. And I was reassured the first day we officially met back in 2010 (I.....might have been staring at him quite a few times before that :biggrin
when he didn't hesitate to say goobye with a tight hug.
After that I don't think we've had anything less than inappropriate displays of affection towards each other. In the Uni, in the train, on a bus stop...everyone watching. Did I mention he likes to kiss my neck while everyone is watching?
So, knowing you're as much of an affection whore as I am, I have no trouble initiating everything. I'll even be there holding you, to handle your nightmares no matter how hard you hit me

I'm not very romantic as in trying to be romantic, but I can randomly and unconsciously be romantic
