Who would you hold hands with?

not a friend because it gives them hope that there might be more potential to be a girlfriend/boyfriend than just friends

both.
but, friends doesn't hold hands for a long time...
more than friends holds hands for a lonnnnnnnnng time walking.

both. I hold hangs with my close girl friends(im a girl) but not usually with guys whatsoever unless I'm being eyed by a "predator" or if I want to seem unavaliable to someone.

I would usually feel uncomfortable holding hands with anyone other than my significant other, but I have only one best friend and he's the person I trust the most. He's the only other person I ever hold hands with and we do it all the time. We're both single but even when one of us is taken we still hold hands with each other.

It is a private gesture, but we share it because we do have something private to share. It's a friendship that so far, burns brighter than any other relationship I've ever had.

More than friends for sure. It is an intimate gesture in my opinion. Actual physical contact is necessary :)!

For me, holding hands with a friend would be a tad awkward. By initiating hand holding you're pretty much sending the message you're interested in dating them.

i hold hands with mostly everyone I know.
when its my guy friends I just put my arm around his waist then he puts his arm around me or vice-versa or my one arm around his shoulders and same with him,
doesn't really mean anything, it just means you're really close to them.
its just a little strange when you're holding hands, unless she wants to show you something or bring you somewhere she could hold your hand, but if she just holds your hand out of nowhere, she could POSSIBLY like you, =)

i hold hands with friends from time to time

My best guy friends and I hold hands all the time, and it's just an expression of affection in general, not necessarily me wanting them.

holdin hands is such a simple form of showing feeling... anyone can do it and its totally fine. I've held hands with many guy friends. even in front of their girlfriends they don't care.. its totally fine

I'd hold hands with whomever friend wants to hold it. Not necessarily seriously all boyfriend/girlfriend like, you can tell the difference between serious and just because having friendly physical contact with your friends is important too. I personally love to start to singing the Beatles classic and grab my friends' hands on occasion. Good Times for all.

It depends how close you are. Because there's this guy that I would hold hands with but I would NEVER EVER be with. I'd only hold hands with him because he's like a brother figure and we'd be crossing the road or something and I wouldn't really notice. Because he's like that guy I depend on. But eww... me and Ray J. That's GROSS!

Definitely with a guy that I am attracted to on many levels. Past that of friendship.

well, I would hold hands if we were more than friends, but just friends... not really, I mean you don't hold hands with ur best guy friends and walk or do what ever, right?!

i wouldn't seriously hold hands with a guy if he wasn't my boyfriend unless it was a comfort thing. sometimes all you need in a time of crisis is for someone familiar to grab your hand to let you know that they're there.

ill hold hands seriously with my boyfriend only. sometimes me and my guy friends skip down the hallways at linking arms and singing tunes from the wizard of oz. its a joke and everyone knows it. we are not showing any affection for eachcother. same with my best friends. we will link arms sometimes but never because we mean it (I am straight). so basically, I would hold hands with someone I wasn't attracted to or going out with as a joke, and everyone knows its a joke.

With my boyfriend only. Unless I'm with the girls then we may link arms..but only for a short time

My boyfriend. (or someone I was seeing and he's a potential boyfriend)

I would never hold hands with just a friend. That's just weird.

As for girls (I'm straight), I would not hold a girl's hand. But with a friendship, I would hold her arm. It's what's 'normal' and shows that you and her are good friends and are comfortable with each other.

More than friends, definitely!

More than friends

id never hold hands with just a friend. physical touching and intimacy only exists when you have feelings for someone more than friendship, or attraction at the least.

not a friend, person I would date in the future or am already dating

Personally if I was walking with a friend who is a girl and she wanted to hold hands especially with interlocked fingers then I guess she feels no shame in people thinking we are involved and she may even consider that a possibility or be dropping hints.
Usually if a girl wants to do anything just as a close friend they will link arms instead but then I guess girls are different and like different things.
If she sticks her tongue down your throat then maybe she is dropping hints you aren't picking up on.
Either way if you like her then let her know, just say it matter of fact so she knows you don't expect her to feel the same and are cool as you are with her as a friend, this is a neat trick to put the ball in their court.

I really only hold hands with people I'm attracted to or dating.

That being said... if I am consoling a female friend over something, I may tend to hold her hand. I don't think I've ever held the hand of a guy other than my father.

If I'm only seeking friendship with a girl, I won't let her hold my hand.

Girls you probably shouldn't either. Littletad was right. it sends the wrong message.

i've held hands with just a friend while running to catch our bus and unconsciously sent wrong signals to her, but that's because I'm very flirtatious in nature and also because I run very fast and she needed to follow at the same speed or we'd miss the bus.

I hold hands with my girl friend and lady friends but with them, I'm ridiculous swinging our arms and/or skipping down the hall because we're cool like that.

I'd never hold hands with just a friend, sends a wrong message. Unless it's in a polite and appropriate manner, then yes.

Girls hold hands with just friends sometimes, although it usually means more. I know a few girls like that and guys have got the wrong signals off them...
With guys, I doubt that holding hands means just friends.

That's my opinion, hope it helps!

more than that, its a closeness thing with me and I wouldn't do that with "just friends"

ive held hands with friends but its diffrent when you hold hands when you like the person and when they like you. you can tell. you guys play with each others hands not noticing if its just friends holding hands then it just sits there.

If I am in a relationship for the most part it's just going to be my girlfriend. Besides the obviously situations where you are asked to hold hands, lol.

I wouldn't go around every day holding hands with a girl when I'm in a relationship though. Not that it's a big deal, I just personally wouldn't do it because it looks bad and could raise questions.
