Interlocking Fingers

Feb. 23rd, 2005 at 10:41 PM

weather	:	mostly clear
outside	:	3°C
mood	:	giggly

Only

the Husband and I can have a bicker-fight about this...

How do you and your significant other hold hands?

Interlocking Fingers™, right? ~~Like most normal people, I suspect you do.~~ ... Wow. See comments. XD

Does anyone do The Kindergarten Washroom Partner™ style?

He absently picked up my hand that way once, years ago. I hate it. It feels all weird and wrong. It brings back memories of school, Boy Germs™ and... well, being required to go to the washroom in pairs and walk down the hall holding hands. *BLECH* I feel like squirming out of it.

Now that he knows I hate it, he does it on purpose to annoy me. Then he picks it up a little and jiggles it. And it's totally unfair that I can only smack him at a red light because he's driving >K}

[Update]

Thanks a lot, you Kindergarten people. Now you've made Husband Guy all gloaty about this. You're supposed to be my friends. =D =D

we don't do interlocking fingers 'cause his fingers are fat and i have short fingers and it just doesn't work.

Hmm... he has much bigger hands than I do. Maybe it's psychological. =}

I think we do both... though I'd have to do it to be sure.

Funny, I prefer the "kindergarten" style, it feels more safe and comforting and I even like jiggling. While interlocking fingers, for some reason, feel vaguely associated with sexual abuse...

Interlocking fingers. We started doing that when we were supposedly "just best friends" and both totally in love with each other. I guess it felt more like a "couple" that way and it was a way of intensely flirting when we were walking. We could still get away with pretending we were just friends and he was helping me over the curbs though. Hee. :)

Okay, maybe I'm still stuck in the teenager mentality of dating. As soon as you hold hands in _any_ way, you're _more_than_friends_ at that point =D

Interlocking fingers here - same with the poster above, my hand has to be facing forward - or on the bottom.

my hand is always on the bottom or facing forward. But the style depends on the mood and on the season. For instance; it's cold now and we're wearing gloves all the time, which makes interlocking fingers impossible. When it's warm, we normally interlock. But sometimes I like kindergarden hands; as someone else said, it feels safe somehow. Robin HATES it though.

The funny thing is... with my first boyfriend I insisted on interlocking fingers, it just made sense. I don't know. After that I was a clasper, and nowadays.. I haven't entirely figured it out, it depends on my mood.

Usually we clasp because his hand is so much bigger than mine. :P

We do the Interlocking Fingers^TM because it feels more intimate. I hate holding his had the Kindergarten way, it just feels too..... icky.

We interlock fingers too. Occasionally we'll clasp, say if we're wearing gloves or when the size of his fingers becomes uncomfortable for my littler fingers to get around. But 90% of the time, we interlock!

Interlocked fingers. Everyone else is wrong, and they should all be punished.

i've actually never done the interlocking fingers one - i do "kindergarden style"
although i'll occasinally just do a "pointer finger loop"
