How to break a STRONG touch barrier with my boyfriend?

Me and my boyfriend met at an Open Mic about a month ago and he asked me out a couple weeks ago. I accepted, and we really seem to click. We love each other a lot...the only thing is...he has a Very Strong touch barrier...I look it up online, but it is like "just gently touch his arm while he is talking" and stuff like that, but that just seems so awkward to me?! we haven't held hands, or hugged or anything. I don't wanna creep him out, by just randomly touching him...he has been like this with all his last girlfriends...but I really wanna break the barrier for him. Please help

the one that works the best wins :)

    Why not stop thinking so much... if you get all nervous and don't let it just flow, it'll be awkward. Maybe let him walk you to your door one evening and be talking.... when your eyes meet, keep fixed on his. Gently reach your hand out to his face and very gently use your fingertips to touch his cheek and lean in for a little kiss. Smile and tell him how great of a time you had with him. That is if you are at that point. If you aren't comfortable enough with him to kiss him, maybe be out at a restaurant with him and if he's chatting with you and puts his hand on the table, reach out and take his hand. If he's into you, he'll probably just smile. Smile at him and just continue talking. Keep things natural feeling and easy. Don't get all red or anxious. Just be cool with it.
