Heterosexual female jellies: When was the last time you held hands with another female?

My children’s hands when they were small (a long time ago). A friend’s hands when she was grieving. I can’t remember another time. I hold my husband’s hand often, but not the hands of female friends or relatives under usual circumstances.

Gosh, I don’t remember. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t long ago.

Friday, at the movies with my daughter during an exciting (and slightly scary) part of the story.

I don’t really like people touching me, so I’m sure it has been years.

I let my mother-in-law squeeze my hand while getting a boil on her ass drained – does that count?

If not, it was likely when I was a kid. I’m not a fan of touching people, regardless of gender, other than my husband. I like my personal space. Those people that touch your arm while they talk to you drive me nuts. And I think it would be really awkward to hold a friend’s hand.

Yesterday, I held my younger sister’s hand. (not for very long though, because she has clammy hands.)

when I go out with my best friend I like to link arms. I don’t think we’ve ever held hands.

I can’t remember, but I certainly wouldn’t have qualms about doing it. I just tend to be more of a hugger.

I don’t remember, but it wouldn’t be odd to me. Certainly, I have shaken hands with females recently, sometimes we add a second hand as a gesture of familiarity, but usually during a greeting or good bye I would do a hug or a kiss if I felt close to them.

It doesn’t happen very often though that I hold hands with another female (children would be an exception) and I don’t go walking hand in hand like children do, or as I commonly do with my husband.

I’ve noticed Asian women (not children) seem to hold hands and link arms while walking around together. I can’t imagine me doing that, even with my daughters, unless I needed their support to get about.

I hug my female friends often but can’t recollect any hand holding.
Last hug was a “Hello” and then a “Goodbye” hug , meeting with a good friend for lunch a few weeks ago.

Some time ago with my BFF. But then again I can hold hand with any of my close friends.

It was last year, every day for about three months while my mother was dying. Her eyesight and hearing were pretty much shot, so touch was basically the only connection with another human. Each day, after telling her who I was, we’d hold hands. Often, I would put her favorite music on and dance beside her bed while she gripped my hand tightly.

I don’t hold adults’ hands. I held my little cousins’ hands about a week ago.

I’ve been thinking more about this and I’ve decided that the last thing I’d want if I’m upset is someone holding my hand. Maybe that’s weird, but I’m not the type to want to be around others if I’m sad, and especially if I’m crying. I’d rather be alone. Just the thought of someone reaching over to hold my hand because I’m upset makes me uncomfortable.

I guess some people seek human contact during hard times, but not me. Maybe I’m allergic to emotional situations, because I avoid them at all costs. I’m really uncomfortable around emotional people. If you’re crying or wanting to talk about your feelings, I’d rather be elsewhere quite frankly. Maybe that’s why I don’t mind having very few friends – I’m no one’s shoulder to cry on. I’ve got my own shit going on, and I manage to handle it without leaning on other people.

However, a hug from my husband is always welcome. Nothing like a set of strong arms to make everything better.

Last month if we include children. I held my niece’s hand in a parking lot.

The last adult was a friend with whom I attended a funeral.

I hold my daughter’s hand every day.

My mom, sisters and niece’s hands whenever we go on walks. Not the entire time usually. Just a hello squeeze because I’ve missed them. And sometimes when you don’t want to break the silence of a lovely quiet moment.

Lots of hand holding during funerals. And sometimes at weddings.
Definitely if it’s a Jewish wedding and we’re singing Hava Nagila!

I can’t remember a specific instance but I hold hands with my friends when we’re going through crowds and I probably held my mum’s hand for the same reason when we were travelling in busy places.

My mentor. We were sitting, and talking, and then someone asked us to pose for a picture, and she took my hand. This was about two weeks ago.

Last evening. Rick and I met an old HS acquaintance and her husband at a casino last night. I hadda go to the bathroom and my friend said she’d go with me, because that’s what girls do, you know. So we skipped off to the bathroom, arm in arm. :D
