Is holding hands in public important part of a relationship..?

alternatively, instead of holding hand, take her arm under yours.

also, stop being a pussy.

I'm not 100% sure I'd dump a guy if he wouldn't hold my hand but it'd definitely bother me and I would need a really legit explanation as to why he won't hold my hand if I'm going to stick around. If you have really clammy hands, ok, we don't need to hold hands...though, that would probably turn me off so much I'd break up anyways :laughing

bottom line: holding hands is nice. be nice :p
 
My ex was UBER clingy and would grab my hand the moment she caught another woman looking our way. It got so annoying I would "unconsciously" walk with my hands in my pockets which led to her going for the arm hook.

She would also do baby talk and try to constantly feed me at restaurants. That would usually end up with shit either falling in my lap or on my shirt. I finally figured out she was insanely insecure and that was a big time turn off.

If I want a paw I'll reach for it other than that use those things for sammich making and happy endings. :twofinger
 
:laughing

Just kind of jumping in here.

Yes, I think it's important if she wants to hold hands. Plus I enjoy it so why not?

I'm just starting out in a brand new relationship (I think, I'll let you know tomorrow) but I hope hand holding and kissing in public isn't something that she'll mind. Not that it would be a deal breaker.

Did she have man hands?

this is a keeper Beepor, you won't have to hold hands and she won't be able to run away from you.

I thought of all people, you would approve. :laughing

I get that some people don't like the touchy-feely thing, but don't really understand because it's AWESOME to touch someone you care about. Like at the movies, when my girl is lightly touching my forearm while we munch popcorn. Schwing. Up goes the...armrest.
 
I have a pretty blonde GF with short hair. If I don't hold hands with her, along with other simple public displays of affection, all the dykes & lesbians in SF would be all over her. As it is, they devour her with their eyes, giving her the up & down as we stroll down Valencia. The guys? They're just too brow-beaten by radical feminism to even acknowledge her. Weird town we live in...

vato_loco let's stroll down valencia

I wanna stare... :laughing

BTW
Dubby will hold her hand if you don't want to.


no, he won't he'll start 3 threads about this!!!
 
Hey different strokes for different folks. Don't ostracize BePor because he doesn't like to get cuddly in public. Her loss!

She should know better than that. Ya can't be holding hands infront of the ladies, that shit aint cool :x

Baby talk, NFW :thumbdown

I had a buddy and sometimes when we'd go out to eat he'd bring his old lady. He would sit there in front of 3 or 4 guys and let her feed him :green
That was FUCKED UP. I gave up hangin with that guy.
 
Some people find contact and touch very important in a relationship. It's not "clingy" like they can't stop touching you, but they like how it feels.

I knew my last relationship was going south the moment he stopped holding my hand anywhere. He used to hold it in the car, even. If he was driving manual, he'd put mine on the gear shifter first so he could do both. It meant so much to me.
If the next guy stopped doing it suddenly, I'd bounce, too.

Just find a girl who doesn't want to be touched either and tell us how that goes.
