Lots of resources on-line concern this in the context of romantic (or sometimes parental) relationships and concern how to deploy physical affection / touch in a graceful and welcome way. But I think that’s just a specific case of a more general virtue. I’ve had times when someone has placed their hand on my arm and looked me in the eye in a gently encouraging way that was very effectively affectionate without being either romantic or paternal, and I can’t put my finger on what qualities exactly made it work where in other contexts it might have been awkward or counterproductive.
