Do you see holding hands as something "intimate" in your relationship or do you also hold hands with friends?

I'm a guy though, and of course not many of us are too prone to holding hands with our (especialy when they're male!) friends. You do see a lot of women holding hands with their (female) friends though, but only with their close ones, which I guess would make it sorta nice and intimate for them too, just not sexual.
*is rubbish at this sort of thing*
I see it as something intimate, my boyf's the only person that I hold hands with.
It's sooo sweet when you see two people holding hands in the street. Well I think so anyway
I'd only do it with my girlfriend though, would never do it to a friend.
Ditto. I think that most of the girlies who do platonic hand holding are 14 or 15 year olds who are part of the 'cool' set at school and want to emphasise their little clique and exclusiveness...
So am I
But I think it's nice to see other people happy and in love, even if I can't be
Actually to be honest I'm more likely to walk around with my arm round a b/f. hold hands or at least link arms with certain mates all the time, others never.
I don't really have many female friends and those I have don't come out drinking with me, we just go to the pub so I'm ver really drunk with them, though I imagine that if I were I would hold their hands!
maybe thats just me tho
They feel jealous and wish they were him? and think he's tamed ya and is a lucky sod!:)
But have you noticed that depending on the person you are holding hands with, you will hold theirs differently. I mean, me and the bf link fingers while holding hands, if that makes any sense! And with my mam or someone i just hold hands normally.
:chin: Maybe it's just me and my wierd holdy-handy social rules!
Oh and one guy, but I'm 'seeing' him.
Yup, me too.
never usually hold hands just tend to link arms but very rarely. Usually with my best mate or a boyfriend.
well i hold hands with my girlfriend and origianlly we just linked arms, then we started holding hands normally, and now we link fingers as well, and sort of hug-walk sometimes hehe, i think that i may have to copyright that.......
i don't like holding hands acutally... dont' know why though. i need my space i think thats why.
lol, i know a couple who 'hug walk' all the time. It's so funny because if you watch them walking, it looks like they're carrying eachother down the street!
I've never been able to get the hang of it myself, i think its mainly because my boyfriend is quite a bit taller than me so it makes things a bit difficult. Theres a knack to it aswell. You have to be walking at exactally the same speed and with the same footsteps as the other person or it just doesn't work! You have to develop a kind of 'rhythm' with eachother in order not to look like complete prats while walking down the street. To much like hard work for my liking!
