I myself would have seen those scenes as 'no big thing' - but then I am coming at this from the perspective of the books, where it is clear that two figures such as Aragorn and Arwen could be
entirely trusted not to 'go too far' as they would be all too aware that if they did then this would mean they were together for life.
But it's interesting that you say that us older viewers (well, speaking for myself, I'm older anyway...not to be impolite
) would be
more likely to read something into such scenes, as we were probably more likely to have had parents who were highly cautious about our boyfriends/girlfriends when we were young. I don't get that sense, but I also do not have any children; maybe it is something which parents perceive?
