I wanna hold your hand

Hand-holding signifies closeness and a sense of appreciation for your partner and relationship. This emotion can be triggered by, say, a walk in a beautiful location or witnessing a special event like fireworks or a celebration such as a wedding.

Let the mood move you. Take your partner's hand in yours, entwine your fingers and give their hand a little affectionate squeeze, just to remind them that you're there and there's no place else you'd rather be.

Perfectly acceptable any time and any place, including in front of future parents-in-law or at church, taking your partner's hand in yours has a timeless charm that, far from repelling the general public, actually evokes feelings of admiration and longing.

Some folk don't like having their hand held in public. Guys, particularly, can feel emasculated by such a "girly" act, preferring to drape a big, strong arm around their lady's shoulder. Same, but different.
