In a guy's mind, it's only an R or A if he touches her. Obviously we know better, but I don't think he really gets it, and I imagine he's thinking it's just you that has a problem with it, what's the big deal.
This could be very true, Nik!
One of my BIL's is a very outgoing guy and is ALWAYS talking to somebody (other than family) at social gatherings. More often than not, they are other females, and it bothers my sister. She feels it's highly inappropriate whereas he doesn't see anything wrong with it. In his mind, he's just talking to someone. Talking a little too much, perhaps, but nonetheless, just talking and nothing more.
However, if it is a big deal for you and makes you uncomfortable, as it did with my sister, then I agree that it does need to be brought out into the open. MC would be really beneficial, if you think he'll agree to going again.
