Why did he touch my car before leaving? My guy friend and I were walking out into the parking...

That's the international sign for "Clear to Go."

He's saying goodbye, good travels.

It's also a way of connecting to a trusty steed. The same way riders used to pat their horse, or pilots touch the nose of an airplane.

He checked your car to be sure you’re safe

The patting if the hood was a his sign that you’re good to go and a sign of affection

A different fetish. He's attracted to your car! 🙃😂

Check for trackers

Ask him.

I doubt it's a Tracker like somebody said, possible. But you know how men are, they like to touch things. Half the time I don't think that men even realize they are doing it. Basically I would say try not to read too far into it

🤔........Maybe he was checking to see if there was anyone hiding in the back seat before you got in???

Why do you think he touched your car? Why does it matter to you?

He took a quick glance to make sure you were safe and that no one was hiding inside the car. The touching the hood part, who knows, guys are weird sometimes. 🙂

Cops do it to leave fingerprints. I imagine he did just to say "see 'ya."

Your guess is as good as ours. Probably better because you know him

leahlikes · 22-25, F

Just like every primates, he is marking his possessions/ territory.
