In some relationships, one partner feels responsible for initiating nearly every affectionate interaction.
As trust grows, a woman may become more comfortable initiating a kiss, reaching for her partner’s hand, giving him a warm hug, or moving closer simply because she wants to feel connected.
She may also initiate conversations about intimacy rather than leaving every discussion to him.
These gestures can communicate that affection is something she actively enjoys giving, not merely something she accepts to satisfy her partner.
Still, initiation varies from person to person. A woman can feel deeply comfortable and loving without frequently initiating physical contact.
6. She Is Comfortable Saying When Something Feels Uncomfortable

A woman who trusts her partner may feel able to say that she is tired, needs a pause, wants to change positions, or would prefer to stop altogether.
She does not have to pretend that everything is perfect to protect his feelings.
