The amount of your and her flesh that’s atom-width close is an astronomically small fraction of the total weight, no matter how close you cuddle, and this fraction gets squared because there are 2 bodies. (It’s an integral over two volumes – in layman’s terms, an atom in your hand feels strong (for an atom) attraction to an atom on her hand, but not her head even if your heads also touch.)
