Can a guy be too touchy with women? Can too much touching come off as creepy, or needy, or inappropriate?

I'm asking this because I've been on a few dates with women since reading Models, and yea, they show up and look like they're on a date, but they act neutral to me. They don't say or do anything about me grabbing them by the waist, touching their back, etc. Success with closes has varied from complete rejection to sex.

ETA: I've read about kino escalation ladders too. I typically follow those.
