My Take On The Hand Holding
In a funny turn of events, Sarah posted the same thing that I was going to post without either of us talking about it. But I think the little things are the things that are important, so I’m just going to highlight my side of the coin.
In my experience, and opinion there are two basic ways to hold hands. First is the best friends hand holding and second is the SEVENTH GRADE – LET’S MAKE OUR HANDS MAKE OUT hand holding. Best friends hand holding is just that only, not for bros. Bros don’t hold hands. Well, I’ve heard they do in India, and some other weird non-American cultures. But basically this is saying “our hands our plutonic like our bodies” or, “we’re close, but not that close”.

On the other hand the 7th Grade – Let’s Make Our Hands Make Out (furthermore 7GLMOHMO) is basically just that, with the added sublayer of admitting that the hand holders really just want to be making out all the time, but can’t and their little hormones are creating a nuclear wasteland between their ears. I’ve never really liked this type of hand holding (except in 7th grade of course) because it squishes my delicate fingers.

But I think hand holding is an important aspect of any relationship. It’s one of those mystical little traditions that communicates a ton of things without much work or effort required. Because of that, it’s great to hold your lady’s hand to show her your affection for her in a simple way.
I found myself between a rock and a hard place and created what has become our favorite way to hold hands. I call it the Finger-Pinky Makeout Party (furthermore FPMP). This allows a comfortable, not too crushing, not too sweaty, yet still retains that intimate, mushy, affectionate, “let’s make out later” feeling from 7th grade.
