Dating : I held hands with someone for the first time in my life today!

Dating : I held hands with someone for the first time in my life today!


I know this isn’t a big deal to most people, but at age 18 it felt like it was a long time coming. I feel like most people my age that I know held hands with someone back in middle school or early on in high school, so I definitely feel like a major late bloomer. 100% worth the wait; it just has a special feeling that a lot of the things considered more “romantic” don’t have.

Didn’t have anyone to tell without sounding like a hormone-filled 13 year old so I’m here now 🙂

  1. That’s great! It’s so rare when I feel a woman’s hand in mine. It feels amazing. Especially since I don’t often touch another person.

  2. Aaaaa that’s so precious! I’ve got some insecurities about my hands so I don’t like holding just anyone’s hand, hence I haven’t done it in a super long time. But I get what you mean, it’s really such a pure and special thing that’s so simple yet heartwarming. So happy for you!!

  3. I’m glad for you, but just know that’s not too late. I’m 23, man, and I still haven’t held hands with anyone. I haven’t kissed anyone also. And I’m one who’s constantly searching.

  4. That’s awesome news. I remember the first time I held a woman’s hand too, I think I was around your age. There’s nothing quite like it when it happens. Im happy for you!

  5. Im 21 and neither held hands nor did i ever feel the warmth of the eyes from someone who looks st me as if they adore me. All im used to is mostly cold eyes mixed with dusgust (whereas the disgust is more a part of the past now).

  6. Dude that’s awesome and also pretty rare nowadays, so you are blessed to have experienced it! I still have yet to experience that in my life and am 27 lol but it will hopefully come in it’s time, and if it doesn’t that’s fine too, because there are no guarantees for anyone when it comes to romance or really anything in life.

  7. Forget people who say holding hands isn’t a big deal because it is! There’s something more intimate about it than kissing in a way, because kissing is usually more primal in a way and holding hands is like hey world I’m with this other person.

  8. I absolutely know the feeling, I was in the same situation last year (I’m 19 now)

    And is something that can be really special when you are someone who does not really make a lot of contact with others (like my :b)

    Congrats~~~

  9. I’ve literally done nothing romantically with a girl and I’m 19… must be nice lol

    Congratulations, I hope your relationship goes wonderfully!
