How do you get a guy to hold your hand?

[Anonymous]

We're not dating but we've always been the flirty type and we'll be with another couple who will be holding hands and stuff like that. How do I hint that he should hold my hand too?

You shouldn't go out of your way to do this just to copy that other couple.

Anyway, your choices are to either tell him what you're thinking, or just start holding hands.

Choice 1: "Hey, why don't we hold hands?"

Choice 2: There are several ways to pull it off. There's the subtle build-up approach, where you start by just casually brushing the back of your hand against his, and repeat little things like this until holding hands feels natural. If that's too slow or awkward, you could also make an excuse to suddenly grab his hand (like you want to pull him somewhere to show him something) and then just don't let go. Finally, if you're brave enough, you could just hold hands out of the blue without any pretense.

Personally, I like Choice 1 better.

hold onto his arm while you are walking...that might lead to holding hands, but honestly I like it when a girl holds my arm better

Allow your hand to continuously brush his.I think he will get the hint.

Never force something. If you're doing it because you think you have to in front of your friends, then you're in the wrong relationship/friendship. Ask him how he feels about holding your hand. If he says it's OK, then do it but..as I said, don't do it, just to please your friends!

Lean your head on his shoulder next time you're sitting next to him and if he lets you do that for awhile just grab his hand and I'll bet he'll squeeze your hand back and hold it for awhile :)

Quickly stroke his hand.
