For me, I find physical contact a bit intimate. I myself try to avoid touching people in a way that'd suggest unfamiliar intimacy if I can avaoid it. Because I realize others don't have this limitation, I just assume it'd be platonic if someone did so to me. What I mean is, if a girl just randomly started to touch or grab my arm, I'd assume she was just teasing me or something similar. Being friendly like she is to everyone else.
Hard to say without seeing the person, shy dudes who aren't gay would internalize attraction becuase they are bashful, but for any human in general, make eye contact. Anything you need to know can be observed very easily this way. Otherwise its difficult becuase say he freezes up it may be becuase he's nervous and your overwhelming him (which is good for you) or it may be becuase your making him unconfortable and he's not assertive enough to express this outwardly etc
If I was attracted to her, I would be turned on by it. Otherwise it would probably be awkward.
So you would do what?
If I know her a little, and I was attracted to her I'd probably ask her for number. If she touches me like that she has to be attracted to me.
And also maybe touch her back a little.

I'm probably going to get closer to her and start flirting heavily. Then i'd look at her deeply in the eyes, then initiate a passionate make out session.
That is, I would pinch myself first to verify that I wasn't in fantasy land.
The pupils will dilate.
Breathe stops.
Internally, we enjoy it.

Personaly I respond well, but it must be do in right way.
First you must say what you wanna do. I tell you way - if take my hand for no reason i might be pised off because mens don't like to be rule. You must have a permission and everyting will be all right, You must me convince to let you touch me and do what you want. All of fist is permission

If I like her.. I'd probably panic and start thinking shit. And I'd start a waterfall of sweat. A girl, touching me? What has this world come to? Shit like this doesn't happen!

It depends... If it's a light touch on the forearm with a flirty laugh as you have eye contact then it's a big hint and you should be able to tell but other then that guys including me don't seem to notice
panic attack. call the ambulance and give me dark chocolate
I'm shy so I'd move my hand away quickly and get confused. I'd prefer a verbal statement stating you like me, a way to contact you and time to register it and your understanding of that

See new question... This one is old.
I would probably feel uncomfortable at first but I would like it. Especially if I saw potential to like her.
Jerk away?
Not really
What would you do if you don't like her then?
Then I'd try to avoid her
Ok..
I'd probably be a little nervous either way, if I knew her or didn't. I just get nervous in social situations. And a girl touching me would be a new thing
Why? What do you want? Thats slightly manipulative. Was it even conciseness? Am I over thinking this? Should I? But its so subtle from her how would it be any less so from me? Fuck this I got shit to do.
HAHAHA
If I wasn't expecting to be touched or if I wasn't at a certain level of comfort with someone, I'd involuntarily jerk my hand/arm away just a little and be uncomfortable. I don't like touching much, unless I'm intimate with that person.

Ya if you want him to know you like him you need to give a more obvious sign. Subtle hints don't work on shy guys, we just don't get them.
I wouldn't mind if she would do that. I have gotten a girl to sit next to me, but she already has a boyfriend.

I am a shy guy and I will not touch a girl in response, however, I will not pull back or like be offended or anything if a girl touches me. If it's a girl I like I would probably just want to be around her more after that.
Thanks but the question has been updated. Click the link.
I'm not really shy, I can initiate conversation with anyone.
If a girl who I knew a bit, not really well grabbed my arm I wouldn't mind.
I had a girl do that to me and it just took me by surprise. Didn't really bother me but it surprised me.

Probably do the same. grab her arm or shoulder or hand. maybe even a hug if she didn't seem to mind. I'd think it's just for fun til it happens too often or long, then it becomes flirting
