Well I think holding hands is kind of an intimate thing that platonic love doesn’t do. That’s one of those we lines that doesn’t get crossed. It depends.
I guess the thing is when it comes to that, it’s only true between women and gay men. A straight woman and straight man holding and playing with hands is intimate and leaning towards romantic. In my opinion, but yeah, I suppose. As a straight man, if a girl I work with, I known, like and respect, and she knows it and feels the same for me with some trust and I know it, grabs my hand, I might be a bit turned on and think there’s a chance for more if the opportunity presented itself. I might be wrong too, but at least she artists and respects enough to know I feel the same but to me, that’s intimate in a romantic way unless it’s girls and faggots.
