Can guys be physically affectionate without having feelings for women?

[Anonymous]

one guy I was dating for a while was really cuddly, wanting to hold hands and snuggle, more than previous partners. Can men do this without any feelings for women?

[Anonymous]

Yeah, but what would be the point?

[NathanDavis]

Yes.

Does it just mean that some guys, like some girls, are more affectionate than others; and enjoy snuggling and having their hair stroked?

[NathanDavis]

feelings are dynamic... they can change, and fluctuate and morph too

if you're dating or were dating this person, then there were things implied, including the possibility of some kind of feelings and/or interests too

I think we’re casually dating. I don’t know. He gives lots of compliments about my looks and seems to like me as a person I think. He’s warm, friendly and affectionate, full of compliments. I waited for him to contact me first after our first ‘date.’ I’m not so great at reading men’s social cues. I’m Autistic.

I guess I just have to wait and see and not get too eager and scare or annoy him?

[NathanDavis]

that's a good plan, yes... take it easy...

[Asker]

Slow and steady?

[NathanDavis]

more than slow and steady... live for the moment, and enjoy it as it lasts (=

[Asker]

Good advice. Thanks 😊

I don’t know if it’ll last, but I’m happy with the way things are going right now.

As a relationship coach, it's my aim to help you navigate through the complexities of affection and feelings. So here's the deal—being physically affectionate can sometimes just be part of someone's personality! Some guys are naturally touchy-feely. But! That doesn't necessarily equate to romantic feelings. It's essential to look out for other cues, though. If he's dropping those cute compliments and making future plans, it might be more than just snuggles. 😉 Communication is key, darling!
