[alt.romance] Holding hands

Well, going along with the PDA line, is holding hands something
"special?"  I've held hands with male friends once or twice when we
were being really silly, skipping along, pretending to be kids.  But
other than that, that jesture has been saved for my boyfriend.  A male
friend of mine recently took my hand, but it made me a tad
uncomfortable.  Am I abnormal in this as in so many other things
dealing with romance? :-)

For me, holding hands has always meant something very romantic.  On a first
or second date, holding your date's hand marks the first step of affection and
attraction.  For this reason, I was very surprised and confused once
when a guy-friend I was seeing a movie with asked me if I wanted to hold
hands.

Holding hands is not just reserved for first and second dates.  It continues
to be very special and enjoyable for my SO and me.

	Personally, I think holding hands is special and is reserved for
my special romantic someone too. If someone that I didn't feel really in
love with took me by the hand it would make me feel a tab umcomfotable.

	I don't think you're wierd in that since. This is my $0.02 worth.

Tab = Tad in my last posting. I am sorry about that.
