Other than the 6 hr date which included a movie...it sounds like the dude did much better than most on a first date. Don't worry about the lack of touching. You might actually have a wise, and classy guy on your hands, who doesn't believe in PDA of any form, especially on the first date! He might not want to show his hand about how he feels about you...its much to early for that anyway! Be patient...and see if he asks you out again. If he liked you, and he's smart, then he picked up on your touching hints. If you don't hear from him in 7-10 days...then you have your answer. Good luck!

you said he was a gentlemen and shy.
well those are two big reasons why he probably didn't initiate or reciprocate touches. I know for me for the most part a first date is about getting to know someone. I don't have any physical intentions and in fact believe that allowing physical intimacy can (not always but can) be a hurdle to really getting to know someone well.
I don't think you should be worried just yet abotu the "touch barrier" see where things go and if on the next date or even the third he still seems distant then I'd start to worry
No, you're not in the friend zone. I think that he was being a gentleman and didn't want to cross boundaries. He seems to be laid back and really like you, but doesn't want to do anything to screw things up. You will see as time goes on. Don't over think it. =)
maybe he just really respects you, don't worry about it
