He tries to touch hands or grazes my fingers when passing me things?

[Anonymous]

I know that sometimes with people it's inevitable that when you pass things to another person you could or might touch hands/fingers, but when the same guy does it almost each time you pass him something ( a pencil, a phone etc) is he trying to flirt or subtly telling you he may be interested? His eyes are on me when he does this.

So,
Guys, when you are interested in a girl, do you deliberately try and graze her fingers when she passes you something? And, what response do you expect from her? What kind of attention are you seeking? He's also grasped my hand when I've held up something for us both to look at. What reaction is he expecting from me? What's supposed to happen next?

Questions for girls:
Girls, what's been you're experience with a guy doing this with you? Also, do you ever do this?

I had a guy who did similar things... he'd tap me on the shoulder every time he wanted to say something even if I had already made eye contact. He would touch my whole hand when I gave him a pencil. One time I was holding a cat and he was petting it, but was petting my hands more than the cat lol.

He liked me... and then he lost feelings... so in the end it sucked for me but right now I bet he likes you and if he isn't a wishy washy bootyhole then you've got this one in the bag ^.^

[Asker]

Aw petting your hands more than the cat. That's cute.

[Opinion Owner]

It indeed was. Are you gonna make a move on this guy?

[Asker]

Making a move seems so risky to me.

[Opinion Owner]

have you flirted back? flirting is harmless enough

[Asker]

I joke around and get in his personal space but nothing physical.

[Opinion Owner]

have you exchanged numbers and all that?

[Asker]

We know how to get in touch with each other. We're friends.

[Opinion Owner]

i think you should tell him how you feel if you've been friends for a while

[Urbantarzan]

Ask him up front by laughing, "You always graze your fingers on my hand when you reach out, do you like me or what?" lol

But seriously, his reaction to that impromptu question will reveal a lot. If he is the shy type, ask him to just speak his mind - that's if you like him!

If you don't find him cute, just tell him to not graze his hand, let him know you have noticed it on other occasions.

[TadCurious]

Well if he's interested in you (and it sounds like he is) then what he's doing is really smart. Even though it seems simple, those brief touches are powerful signals. You feel it, don't you? Yeah, sure you do. What happens next is up to you guys.

[Asker]

Is he trying to send me signals that he wants to me to know he wants more? is interested in me? wants to know how I feel? I just don't want to act on something and it turns out he's just bored and trying to add something amusing to his day.

[spartan55]

@asker well how would he know if you are even interested, and how would he know if you weren't just bored either?

Guys, when you are interested in a girl, do you deliberately try and graze her fingers when she passes you something?
I've never done this. I suspect women think its creepy or for modern times assault. I never touch a girl that I like until we become an item.

And, what response do you expect from her?
If I did, I suspect her to think I'm a desperate perv.

What kind of attention are you seeking?
if i did do those stuff, i'd probably want a seductive reaction

He's also grasped my hand when I've held up something for us both to look at. What reaction is he expecting from me? What's supposed to happen next?
Maybe he;s just an unconsciously touchy person or likes you and want to get close to you.

I'd examine for a couple days to make sure these aren't just random coincidences.

[Goku34]

I do it to my one and only crush and she does it right back. It's kinda I like you thing and hope you don't notice me touching you. Have you ever wanted to hug someone but you were afraid to that's why I do it

[Asker]

The last sentence of your answer is really sweet.

[Goku34]

Thank you. I might be 13 but I still know what a crush is and I'm socially awkward to me but other kids think I'm funny cool and smart. i have had many popular girls ask me out but I stick with the one and only girl I like

[Callikid]

Im quite a gentlemen but miss he obiously likes you and doese not know how to communicate it. He is pobblyshy. I can say its creepy but he doent know that. I never do these things nor have i seen someone do this in school

[Asker]

I don't feel creeped out by it, but it's been going on for a while. I think he wants me to take the next step but I really don't know what that should be... especially if I'm misreading the signs.

[Callikid]

the next step might be to ask hey you want to get lunch sometime and there you could have a conversation and direct it around what you really want to know about him

[ElvenMr]

This "i hand you something and you also touch my hand" thing happened to me too (the girl touched my hands/fingers), it's a bit weird, i liked it lol.
Could be just an accident tho.

I don't do this by the way, never even thought of doing this before.

[Summeroflove]

I assume he’s into you. But nothing is 💯. Though depending on your rapport it’s usually not best to just touch someone all the time.



If you like him. Ask him out.

[spartan55]

That is about the last thing he would do deliberately. He is likely unaware he even does it. Guys aren't about the hinting nonsense either, so...

[unomilkis1]

I flinch everytime that happens with a cute cashier or whatever ha

[Anonymous]

It happens to me too, and the touch gets even a little longer each time, almost caressing my fingers when I hand him the lighter or a cigar etc

[WhitneySnow]

I think he’s def sending you signals

[muldoon99]

I do it all the time
To girls I like

[Asker]

What do they do back?

[muldoon99]

Hold the contact, why?

[Asker]

I really don't know what reaction the guy is looking for. I really don't react one way or the other.

[muldoon99]

What do you mean? Then why do you ask?

Why don't you help create some tension? Be confident and flirty, why don't you let your hand linger next time you see him? If you like him, next time you hand him something do the same thing. Just don't be lame and awkward.
