Search Results: giving a hug

I have been dating a man for almost 2 months. We are exclusive also. Everything has been great, so I just want to see if this is normal. We see each other about 2-3 times a week. It’s usually me going to his place to spend time with each other. When we see each other its all about us and quality time. He is always hugging me, holding me, kissing me, just basically giving me his undivided attention. He never even grabs his phone or anything. And that’s the attention I give him also. But when we aren’t together he barely texts me, I might get a few texts from him a day, at the least. I understand he is busy and working. I guess I’m just different from him, I would love to hear from him throughout the day but I know that’s just not how he is. He’s not really a texting type person, he is also 9 years older than me so we grew up in different generations. Is this normal behavior this early in the relationship? Should there be more communication when we aren’t together?

A romantic friendship or passionate friendship is a very close but typically non-sexual relationship between friends, often involving a degree of physical closeness beyond that which is common in the contemporary Western societies. It may include for example holding hands, cuddling, hugging, kissing, giving massages, and sharing a bed, or co-sleeping, without sexual intercourse or other physical sexual expression.

Let’s say that you love the person that you are in a relationship with, but you do not picture yourself marrying them... but you stay in that relationship because it’s good relationship practice but everything (high giving, hugging, texting, flirting, hanging out, etc) with the opposite/same sex is free game except penetration?

OR

Do you treat your relationship as if you are already married because you expect to get married to them?

I just want to see the results!

There is this boy in my class (high school) and he touches me a lot. Like when he's giving me a high five, he holds my hand for a while, or sometimes he stands with his arms open and I give him a hug. We are not very shy people so it's not a big deal, I guess?
One time, he walked towards me in such a way that I was pushed against a wall and he was standing very very close to me. he said 'haha I'm very tall' (and he's is correct he is very tall) but is that just an excuse to stand this close to me?
I've known him for 2 years and we've always kind of been like this but now it's more touchy etc. than the rest of the years (I though he friend zoned me or I though he thought I friend zoned him).
I don't mind him touching me because I kinda like him and whenever someone says we would make a cute couple neither him or me denied it, so are we friends or more?
