Clinical PsychologistI believe every couple has to navigate how they feel about the level of affection to figure out how to flirt on their specific case. Some people are very touchy feely, while others are simply not. Having a conversation around understanding what makes somebody feel good in a relationship can be very helpful in terms of just bridging that gap of understanding what needs to happen for both parties to sort of feel good.
