Maybe this is silly, but do you like or dislike holding hands with your date when walking out in public? Does it matter at all to you? My guy puts his hands in pocket all the time. I don't really like it because it feels weird if I am not holding hands, like walking with a friend so then I hold on to his arm. Granted maybe its turned a bit chilly nowadays, but still for a short walk..

I am fine with it in a venue where it is appropriate.

Have you tried to take more for what you want? If you're already in an exclusive situation, I sould start with taking his hand or asking. (Provided you're in an envoronment where there are not other people you or he knows.)

I like it.

If you'd like to hold his hand, why not just do so before he has time to stuff them in his pockets? You could catch his hand ostensibly to draw his attention to something and then don't let go. You'll find out pretty quickly if he really does not like holding hands.

I like it too.

Maybe he's just used to walking around with his hands in his pockets and needs a little encouragement...

I'm more likely to walk around with my hands in her pockets.

My gf's hands sweat.

It's a weird thing. I've never been with a wet-palmed woman before.

I hold her sloshy mitts anyway. I love holding hands.

I was told that the 'standard' procedure is the guy gives you his arm (kinda forming a loop) and you grab it from the inside. Kinda nice especially when the weather is kinda cool...both of you walking together side by side keeping each other warm..at the beach, listening to the ocean and seeing the reflection of the moon on the water...

*sigh*

I need a drink!

You can't fool me, PY. You like it 'cause she can't walk straight and she bumps you ... and that means her rack hits your arm.

We know these things. We just let it happen anyway.
