Help! I've been manipulated into doing something I didn't intend!

And I liked it!

I have cats. They have a thing of appearing beside, or on me, and getting me to stroke them. They nearly always succeed. Even when it is inconvenient. How do they manage that?

I want more intimacy in my relationship. Can these cats teach me anything? Should I be a bit more rude, demanding and pushy?

But the thing is, my cats seem to be good at manipulating me politely. An eye blink and head tilt. Purring and a head bash.

I'm wondering what the human equivalent of head bashes, purring and blinking is.

So I'm asking you to spill your secrets. What subtle little tricks of body language get your loved one or partner to respond with affection on a subconscious level?

I have had up and down relationships and sometimes physical intimacy seems non existent.

you can do similar thing like a cat i can rub an arm or shoulder... walked in a way we end up in each others way  ... small things like that generally can get a hug or such even works after maybe a small disagreement etc.

So you might accidentally, on purpose, get in their way? 😀 I like that. It sounds like it could be fun/introduce a bit of humour.
