His Touch #1: The Sideways Lean-In
You'll notice this gesture when you're sitting next to each other on a date. It's subtle and might seem like an accident (for example, you brush shoulders sharing a menu), but it might be calculated contact to gauge your interest. To him, it's a safe way to see how you react--he won't lose face if you pull back.
His Touch #2: The Playful Punch
This grade school move is what guys revert to when they like you, but have no clue how to verbalize it (or they're too nervous to). Men also relate to one another by roughhousing, so your date may be trying to establish a bond.
His Touch #3: The Hand On The Back
If a guy does this (to guide you through a crowd or a doorway), he wants to make a good impression and let you know he's a gentleman. Just be aware of where he positions his palm--if his hand creeps lower than the center of your back, he may be testing how far you'll let him go physically.
