I like the idea of a relationship but not the reality. I've been in two relationships in the past and both partners wanted to hug me, hold hands with me and sleep next to me. I don't mind hugging for a few seconds but I don't like prolonged hugging. I don't like hand-holding at all because my hands get sweaty and it's just generally uncomfortable. As for sleeping arrangements: I'd rather have my own room, like a den I can hide in if I have sensory issues. We could still have sex, but just not literally sleep together.

I don't think I'll ever meet anyone who'll be ready to meet these requirements.

You might. Maybe not though. I have some requirements/preferences that are similar to yours and it sure is hard to find a partner who shares them. But I don't give up hope :)

It will be difficult to find someone like that...not entirely impossible, but certainly difficult. When I was younger, I never liked it when people touched me, or got too close to me either, but it doesn't really bother me as much now. I think a lot of it depends on how comfortable you feel around someone, as well.
