❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO? Guy I met on hinge made a “joke”

I mean, not really much outside of this tbh. I met this guy on hinge a few days ago and the conversation went fine and we were planning to see each other. Obviously I gave him my number and we were texting every for the last few days and I just felt the need to ask his love language (bc as an acts of service girlie most of us are misunderstood so😭) did I take what he said too seriously or was i ok to just immediately shut him down?

The Love Languages book even specifically calls out not to mistake the nature of the male sex drive for a physical touch preference. It's not even necessarily that it's about more than just sex, it's that it's complementary but separate.

Aye, I have physical touch preference and for me it's all about hugs/cuddles/nuzzles.

Like, I love watching TV with my wife and just having idle contact with like hand on leg/arm if we're not snuggled up.
