I think a large part of the problem is your long distance relationship. It is just about impossible to maintain the day-to-day intimacy that leads to these little displays of affection when you are living far apart. Since women connect the state of the relationship with the state of "connection" they have to you, this could lead to her reluctance. It is my guess that when you get together, it gets all hot and heavy (which is perfectly normal). The problem is that there is no real middle-ground here. I wouldn't stress over the fact that she is less affectionate than you like at the moment. When/if you two move closer together to the point where you are together day and night, things should get better. Also part of the problem is her age. She is only 20 years old which is a few years away from when she will fully blossom into the woman she will be. This is an age when many women are very unsure about themselves. They are still doing what is "acceptable" to society rather than living for themselves. Age tends to cure this.
