What does it mean when a man-one that your are not related to, touches your face?

Started thread on chat, got a lot of light-hearted responses-which is OK and I don't mind, but maybe thought relationships was best place to ask because, hopefully, there'll be a more serious response here.
Guy I really, really fancy (both of us are single) was chatting to me the other day and he touched by left cheek (with his hand before anybody makes a joke Wink. Could this mean that he finds me attractive?

OK, should give more context.
He drinks in same pub as I do, we talk a bit about this and that, but nothing flirty or anything.
We are both single -absolutely we are- but his wife died in an accident about a year ago (come to think of it, more than a year more like 2). Kids grown up and left home.
We were just talking when he reached out and cupped my left cheek, I didn't move his hand away because I liked it there; I was a bit taken aback and perhaps this showed, but he then made a bit of small talk about needing the 'loo'. Not in a creepy way! In a normal way if that makes sense. That's it, really.

Ohhhh.

My romantic view. He really likes you but worries you don't like him / not ready for anything and struggling with liking you.

Although saying that the face cupping is a bit strange is a bit of a strange way to touch you isn't it

Yes, I think he might feel perhaps a bit strange liking somebody again (if that is the case). He's a nice guy, gentlemanly (god, that sounds so old-fashioned, doesn't it?) and I think he had a happy marriage.

I say cupping but it was more of a touch and a brush with his finger.
Anyway, thanks for input over such a question. It sounds so silly when I put it here and it's good to get responses even if I do feel like a teenager asking 'does he love me' (!) IYSWIM Smile

I think it's lovely and you sound excited! Hope it works out for you both.

Grin I like teenager 'does he love me' questions.

I really feel he is a nice guy, perhaps quite used to being soft / touchy in relationships?

In a gentlemany context he sounds lovely!

Go on...touch him back see what happens!
