Hand holding

Post Reply New Topic

Do non couples hold hands for extended periods? Like walking around up and down stairs not wanting to let go?
From my understanding that’s a early romantic couple phase activity.

I think it depends on the characteristic of those who holdig hands Some people are very warm and like to touch, hold others as a gesture of welcoming, accepting, or strenghten bond of friendship. For others who have more tendency to keep distance with others, holding hands probably can be seen as a sign of close relationship, either romantic ones or not.

Yes, it depends. I think it's weird holding hands with my boyfriend, so that doesn't happen unless he wants to (luckily not that often).
Then I have a friend who does not only want to hold hands, she wants to hug. Whilst walking! All the time! Uncomfortable for me, but I just try to take it as a nice sign of affection.

Depends of the culture.
Where I live, extended non-sexual physical contact is acceptable between females but not inter-gender nor males.

I’d see Korean girls holding hands all the time in Seoul. It’s just a cultural thing. Kinda like how smiling/laughing in public is considered bad manners.

This a straight guy and straight girl. They been eating lunch together every day and she’ll come in on off days and hang out around him, then other day they went to lunch and she kept holding his hand and he said you’re never going let go are yiu?

So seems highly romantic to me, the kind of relationship I want but will never get even i I get a relationship later in life.

I see moms and daughters(adults) holding hands, or more often hook arms, all the time, it's a cultural thing here - but it can be basically for helping the old mother in her walk.

Counting people related to you? My boys still like holding hands with me, as does my girl. My oldest prefers grabbing my whole arm while I practically drag him where ever we are in public.

My kids still like me. I don’t question it.

My girlfriend holds relatives hands sometimes but she's very affectionate with her family in general & has anxiety issues when she's out in public. We both really like holding each other's hands a lot.
