Guys and Girls - do you ever make excuses to touch a person you like?

Anonymous
One morning, I came into school dressed up for an event and when I went to my locker the guy I like was there. We started talking about the event and our outfits etc, and then he asked me if he looked festive enough. I said yeah, but I have accessories in my bag if you want to amp it up. He was excited and I gave him some beads and a fresh flower for his hair like the one I had in mine (seriously, I didn't think he'd be willing to put the flower in his hair...). I really wanted to be less nervous around him so when he asked me if it was in straight, I said no (Ha, I lied) so I could "fix" it and break into his personal space. He just stood there and let me fix and then showed another friend of ours what I did and complimented me on all the things I brought in etc.

Anyway, later after I got close to him. He wanted to see if this bag I always carry was really heavy. I said not really, but when he grabbed it, instead of just taking the part of the handle my hand wasn't on or waiting for me to pass him the bag, he wrapped his hand right on top of mine to take it so I had to slip my hand from underneath his when he pulled it from the other side of me.

To me, this is a REALLY awkward way to grab something. It seemed like an excuse to hold my hand because I've totally done this move before when you pass something to someone awkwardly so you can touch their hand.

What do you all thing about this "move"? Is it a sign of affection toward the other person? Would you ever do this to get closer to someone?
Yes, I don't even pay attention if they dislike me in their space. It's a connection!
I always try to initiate physical contact. It's an easy way to see if they're comfortable around you.
No Touchy until I'm 85% sure they like me. I have to be sure that I won't bother them
They are already in my thoughts, I don't need them in my personal bubble!
