The next time you see him ask him for a hug and initiate your own kiss and joke "Contrary to popular belief I will not self destruct if you try to hug or kiss me." Once you have him laughing tell him to do either on his own without prompting from now on.
That ought to be the end of the problem right there. He seems to think he needs your approval to do these kinds of things. I guess your best resort is to formally give it to him. That way in the future you'll get exactly what you want here. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
