Hey I got my first pet and since its my first pet I don't know really know how to show my love to her, so far she really hates getting touched.

Any advise would be lovely

Yep. Don’t try to force her to be affectionate. Just be around, and be non-threatening, annd mostly ignore her, and be the source of food, and soon she will grow to trust you.
