Is holding someone's hand a way of flirting?

[Mahalko]

It's only flirting when both of you put that meaning into it - I've held hands (and still do) with girls without any flirtatious connotations to it - they know it..those are the closest to me actually.

It's a fantastic feeling really, to be able to be close to people of the other sex without any other meanings to it than just that: being close to them...

To be sure it's flirting, I'd look for other signs while holding hands - different eye contact (or lack of because of shyness), different voice, rubbing hands (if any), fingerplay,..

Or just ask whether you could have your hand back later still, or keep his..:-)

If their is finger locking going on... YES! - link

If it's palm holding.. then not a sign of flirting... Can be used if the two are already dating, but as a sign of flirting.. No... link

That's how me and my boy started dating, he put his hand on mine while we watched TV and a few days later he asked me to be his girl, been inseparable ever since, almost 9 months <3

aww that's a sweet story.. :)

[TiddlyDeeBaby]

Haha thanks, so by that I do believe hand hold is some sort of flirting :)

[rachel05]

ya I'd say so.. none of my just friend guys do that.. so I'd say yes because any guy who takes the time to touch you is flirting.

Not always, also depends who you are holding hands with.

[snowboarder720]

it really depends on the circumstance. If its just walking around the mall or walking them to class, then definitely.

If its just for a activity like a game, or reading your palm (if they are into that), then it isn't flirting at all.

its a guy I casually know.

[Ugliness]

Only if the other person isn't expecting it.

Patricia Reichardt to Charlie Brown: "You're holding my hand, Chuck!"

Usually if she said that he wasn't planning it. In this case, "Peppermint" Patty was the one flirting.

[Cute11]

If its just plain holding hands no but if your like rubbing his thumb or his hand I would consider it flirting

[lilsis909]

I wouldn't consider it flirting. My friends and I hold hands & think nothing of it.

[BCRanger10]

Stroking a hand or an arm, yes. Holding hands, to me, says "you're mine".

[peacenic]

what culture are we discussing?

[KBMC1]

No, it's a way of showing "admiration" to someone.
