Does he see me romantically or as a friend?

I like this guy and we went out together for the first time recently and I'm not sure if he see's me romantically or not?

I'll give some of my observations from the "date" and I'd like if someone could tell me if I was reading his signals as romantic or not?

- he paid for my ticket to get into the event (he didn't offer to pay for any of his friends way in )

- he introduced me to a bunch of his friends (they were all super nice to me)

- he would check himself (like mid-conversation when he was getting really into it, I could see him realize that I wasn't in it and he would then move towards me or look at me to make sure I was still having a good time)

- he would playfully punch me in the arm (and got me to do it to him)

- we kinda held hands for a bit before / then he touched my hands to teach me how to use something

- he would lean in and lower his voice to explain something to me or make me feel included when I didn't know what him and his friends were talking about

- he would constantly ask me if I was ok, how I was doing / when we were walking outside asked if I was cold, he didn't ask any of his friends if they were ok with the cold (they were all other girls)

- we had stuff in common

- he talked about hanging out again / how delightful I was

- we hugged at the end

Are these romantic intentions, because I feel like they are?
