ITH - on bulding intimacy, be careful, you could be pushing for more than H may be prepared to give just yet (remember it's a slow race, not a sprint, and when you see hope the more you try to grab at that hope quickly the more likely it is to be pulled away from you)
BUT I have a plan up my sleeve! Why don't you get the Five Love Languages book? I'm not suggesting you give it to H to read, it may be early days yet, but you read it yourself and see if you can spot which is your H's primary love language, then experiment with it and see if you get results? I say that cos you're talking of building physical intimacy by touch, it might not be his primary love language. Mine isn't, I feel more intimate with someone when they talk to me and spend time with me.
Just an idea
