I recently went out on a date and the most bizarre thing happened
After dinner we went for a walk and my date reached for my hand (gasp!)
I never gave much thought to holding hands until he tried to hold my hand

I also didn’t noticed that I pulled away until he brought it to my attention later in the evening

I suspect when it’s someone I feel close to, holding hands is more natural or instinctive
I’m quite sure that I have held someone’s hand in the past but I’m challenged to find the exact occasion or the person
I may have even wanted to hold someone’s hand but with this new guy it seemed awkward or maybe too fast
I think he tried a couple of times because the next thing I knew, we were holding hands and I was still alive
I’m still not a huge fan of hand holding but I’m warming up to it
I figure, if there is a second date we might add skipping, just to make it more fun
