Girls, Should I be catching feeling for a guy like this at 24?

There's this guy at my gym who's tall, strong and just full of manliness. We've chatted a few times and he asked me out on a date. I think he could see my excitement. He asked me to a coffee shop close to the beach. We drank our coffee and chatted and flirted a bit and we went for a walk on the beach. He told me if I fell in he would save me and it's like I turned into mush in front of him. He tickled my neck and then tickled the sides of my waist. He lifted my shirt and tickled my belly and I giggled, flattered. He made sure I got home safely but then I was wondering if I should have let him expose my belly on the beach like that.
