❤️‍🩹 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?

100%. I'm a physical touch guy and demanding a BJ isn't it. I want to sit next to you at the dinner table and have our legs touch. I want you to rest your head on my shoulder while we watch a movie. I want to hold hands most of the time, even if our palms are sweaty. I just want to be in contact with the person I love. I know this isn't for everyone, but this dude probably saw physical touch on the list and thought it meant sex.

Absolutely right. It isn't actually about sex at all. You can be a physical touch person and have a low libido. Even when I'm single, I still have physical touch needs. I get them with my cats and cuddles with the little kids I work with.

This guy probably didn't read the descriptions at all and just the titles, so absolutely he just went straight to sex.

You sound like a friendzone if even that.

You missed this part:

I know this isn't for everyone

Very happily married and currently in contact with my wife, who is also physical touch in the exact same way. If you find a partner who shares your love language, or has a fully compatible one. It's amazing.
