Heck, if a man is constantly did all those things, and I liked him, I would probably be in a similar situation as Lion-O. I just wouldn't act like a butt when he told me he wasn't into me that way.
Just to play with the gender stereotypes, women don't typically treat men there interested in, like Cheetara does Lion-O. Most women want to see that their potential mate can hold his own. This is why her constant encouragement and defense came off sisterly. I always thought women wanted Alpha males, not dependent ones.
Maybe it's just where I grew up, but cheek kissing was NOT NORMAL there. If a single female I knew had done that outside of a few VERY SPECIFIC instances, i would have taken it as romantic. Hand-holding you are totally right, but we also have to account for this being a kid's show. They're not going to depict romance by having them tearing each other's clothes off like a prime-time drama. Hand-holding and things of that sort are going to be how they depict it. And some basic kissing.
your second point I basically agree, and wish Lion-o would get over it.
Your third point is getting kind of a stereotype-y. You may be right, but I don't know many single females that would treat a single male near their age in 'sisterly' fashion either. Because such things would likely cause misunderstandings and quite possibly be taken romantically.
