What does it mean when a guy holds your hands interlocked in the cinema almost half the time?

For me I can't call it a date since I asked him to go to the movies. okay well, we've been like playing around for a while already but that was the only time we went to the movies. he held my hand hand that way and left for a while and what I don't understand when he came back, he held my hand again. its really kind of hard to understand since we're fooling around with each other. and most likely I know we're hanging out because of benefits.

Ehhh! It's okay guys.. It's done. I thought I can trust him but seems like I can't. I told him not to tell it to anybody but yesterday somebody told me that he heard somebody tell it to our workmate before. That means he really didn't keep his mouth shut. Though he denied it , it's just impossible because I never said anything to anybody..

Also telling me to think what I want to. The only way I can test how far I can trust him. But yea. Seemed like I can't.

For sure, it means he enjoys touching you.

It also means there's a good chance that he has feelings for you, though it's important to understand that even if he DOES have feelings for you, he may still not want a RELATIONSHIP. Many guys in your age group value their freedom over all else, so even if they have feelings for a girl, and are FWB with her, they don't want the responsibilities and limitations that come with a relationship.

It seems obvious to me that you are fooling around with him, but you haven't talked about your relationship yet, which is a big mistake. Even if you both want the same thing, you need to KNOW what's going on with you two. Decide what you want, and also what you'll ACCEPT, and then talk to him and find out what HE wants and what HE'LL accept, and then you'll be much more comfortable around each other.

I am the one not ready for a relationship. Lol that's why I don't want anybody to know we are messing around

First, regardless of who ask who (or whom, or whatever), when two people make an appointment to go out and do so, it is a date of some kind. If it was a meeting to discuss homework, it was a study date. In this case, it was a simple date.

He held your hand because he liked the physical connection. In this case it means he probably likes being with you, and that is something deeper that the "benefits" thing.

Holding hands may seem like a simple or even childish thing to do, but for couples of all ages it is a sure sign of intimacy. If he's holding your hand it means he is comfortable enough with you to show affection. It probably also means he cares about you. Next chance you get, ask him about his feelings. And be ready to talk as well. I really think he's trying to tell you you're special to him.

Why can't you call it a date? Because it sure sounds like one.

[kysalle]

[Asker]

Okay.. What are you trying to tell me?

It's clear that he's into you.
