Would you hold hands with just a friend?

[Anonymous]

Guy I like but who gives me very mixed signals, touched my knee and then grabbed my hand and held it for a hour. In front of a large group of our friends. When I asked him wtf was going on, his reply was I just see you as a friend. To me hand holding can be friendly but not fingers interlocked tightly gripped for an hour so it's left me confused as hell 🤯

Holding hand is not a friendly thing if it happens in front of others close to you. Even siblings don't do that, why would you be holding hands, for what! You're not a kid
If you truly ask for his feelings, and he said just a friend, the only explanation is, he likes you, but don't want it to go over friend thing, he wants to keep the fantasy

Like, he want to be dreamy about you whenever he does that, having relationship with you will spoil the fantasy.

But hold on, what's he like, 12 years old guy, lol 😆

How is that confusing? You don't hold hands with friends... 🙄

My niece and nephew would grab my hand when they walked up and down stairwells.

I know that’s not exactly what you mean but my point is sometimes it’s to lend a helping hand.

I’m as confused as you are to your particular experience unless he’s being an ass.

No, that is not something that mere platonic friends do

[DextroShade]

No I would not. You ladies need to understand that men are not your friends! If you had a penis he would not hold your hand!

[Wise4myage]

Sure, maybe briefly. I think he is flirting with you.

[KrakenAttackin]

That is over the top. To me hand holding is intimate.

if there is never anything there no of course not if there’s potential for the future. Yes

[Nikki1989]

Yes, I do it often.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I've done it before several times, so yes.

[Jmmmfi4]
