Unfortunately it is always awkward at first.  Ultimately the best way is to just reach over and grab his hand while you are walking side by side.  Other techniques used are after you finish a dance just grab his hand and lead him off the dance floor and don't let go, or while sitting next to each other start playing with his fingers and then eventually slip into hand holding.

Just let go.....keep your hands away.....stop thinking about it, and if you must get a partner instead.

it sounds like you might be in a situation that might be a bit frighting to you. perhaps, someone is expecting something from you that you don't feel as if you can fulfill. how many times have you heard someone use the phase "i'd give my right arm for that".??? sounds like you'd give your left arm not to be pressured as you probably are. good luck, and God bless.

It totally depends on the circumstances.  Holding hands is common among friends in many cultures.  For me, a lot would depend on how he approached it and how he acted once he was holding my hand.  If he was trying to get romantic at the same time, it would probably bother me.  If he just held it and went on like nothing happened, I would probably assume it was just a friendly gesture.

i like for her to hold my hand, put her arm around my waist, basically just hold me and vise versa. be able to kiss me in public and such.

Yes, do it. Get it over with. The longer you wait, the more nervous you will get, and the more of a chance they'll get snatched by someone else. Besides, what's the worst that could happen, you'll be rejected? Any end is better than an unresolved feeling.

maybe write him a letter or send him a card and let him know how you feel if you can't tell him in person. I think the question is do you really want someone who would just get someone with the snap of their finger ?

umm...you don't have a bf/gf standing next to you holding your hand...\nYou could just wear a t-shirt that says, "I'm single, let's hook up"

Just use 2 fingers and feel around...believe me a woman will tell you by her body movement what she likes...

If you want him to like you, touch his hand or something sometime. It is a bold move, but you will know one way or another after that.

Maybe she just honestly doesnt like the feel of your fingers in her. Relax and please her any other way she will allow you to.

No reason to overcomplicate things. Just go. Maybe a friendly hug is in order. Anything else...just go with what your gut instinct tells you. GOod luck.

Yea, why not?  He already likes you and is holding your hand.  If you want to kiss build a moment and kiss him already.

As with anyone, you should not feel pressured into anything.  You will know when the time is right.  If you feel "awkward", with the idea of a physical relationship, it does not sound like you are ready.
