If me and my crush’s hands touch and he doesn't move it away, does that mean he likes me?

It’s not necessarily the case but it’s not a negative by any means. Being comfortable touching someone and not immediately moving the hand away typically indicates at a base level that person is comfortable with them.


If you are wondering if he is into you as well but are too shy to ask there are other signs to look for. Does he get really physically close to you? Does he have open or closed body language? Do his feet point in your direction or to someone else or the exit? Does he maintain eye contact and hold it a tiny bit longer than what seems typical? Does seem to try to physically make himself bigger in how he stands or sits? Does he try to make you laugh and compliment you?


All of these are signs of potential attraction and the more of these he does, the more likely it is he is attracted to you. If you notice he does a lot of these things and want him to ask you out, make sure you are giving off feminine attraction signals. They include open body language, leaning in close when he speaks, having your hands in view and wrists in view (a sign of submission), eye contact (like described above), and standing, walking or leaning in ways that accentuate your femininity (look that part up because as a guy I don’t want to speak out of place). And make sure he knows you are available. Knowing a woman is available is the #1 confidence booster for a guy because it means he knows he has a shot.

Thank you for your answer, it's really helpful. Actually I've never paid attention of these things cuz I'm afraid that I misunderstand the "signs" or just overthinking it. But I noticed when we talk he holds the eye contact not just a tiny bit longer, he holds it almost awkward long, like 10 sec.

If he holds it for that long, it’s almost certainly the case. But still check for other signals just to be safe.

Definitely is a holiday weekend 🙄. Maybe.

There is a good chance that he likes you. The question is:

Why would you allow your crush's hand to touch yours? I have the feeling that you are deliberately seeking the touch and that it is not a coincidence or an accident.

Crushes are usually a one-way affair and most often not reciprocated because usually crushes don't even know that someone has a crush on them.

The fact that he does not remove his hand would lead me to believe that he likes the touch.

Now, why don't you just ask him if he has a crush on you too? That would solve a number of questions and issues then.

[Asker]

Actually he was the one who held my hand when I handed him a book and he didn't move it away. It felt so good so I let him and I didn't move it either.

[SueShe]

In that case, it looks as if he likes you too.

Now, how are you going to proceed? What's your next step?

[Asker]

I don't know! 😃😩 Do you have any good advice what should I do? Just please don't say "ask him out" cuz it's too early and I can't do that... not yet.

[SueShe]

Do a little research about his likes/dislikes and initiate a conversation about what he likes. Talking about something that is he interested should keep him interested. Good luck.

Thanks for the MHO

🙄 Anon, aren't you a little bit too old to be asking this kind of question?

If you want to be sure, ask? I know he's a crush, but that can mean anything! Heck, he might just like how your hands feel if they're soft, lol. Best way to tell if someone likes you is how they act around you.

[Asker]

Yeah, I'm a little bit too old and too shy to ask him😔

[Dav1dTh0ma3]

Probably, but, instead of playing games, why not just tell him how you feel. That way you won't WASTE YOUR TIME

[kellytheman]

Yeah I say so usually any kind of human contact or touching shows attraction to each other bodies and mind.

[Iron_Man]

Yes but also, if he does move it than he could be shy

[tallblondejohm]

It means he's cool with it and hoping to move forward

[HaveNoName]

Possible but not necessary.

[HaveNoName]

/... necessarily./

[In_Trance]

not necessarily

[Asker]

I'm not brave enough to ask him, so how will I know? How do you act when you like a girl?

[In_Trance]

Big reward requires big risk. You have to ask him at some point. That aside, you'd be guessing

[JPresidente]

I think so.

[JesseJayNeak]

Probably

[Tonyblony5150]

Yes it does
