There’s a special someone in my life.

So there is special person in my life who reciprocates all the feelings I have. I really like that he doesn’t like to rush into things like the other guys I know and I want this too last. My friends are always telling me grab his hand or sit on his lap even when he is around. I don’t want to say no because I’m afraid to come off as disinterested but I don’t want to say yes and creep him out. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.
