I'm in America and no way do i follow these rules. And many dont. Sounds like your more for getting bone and having a fun time now than looking for a serious long term relationship How you treat them, how you talk to them.
...dpds on culture, custom, upbringing or religion. Personally i think for many holding hands, kissing/tight hugs is the key to an intimate relationship and even more so after marriage. No guarantees so it's a gamble. Verbal communication is even more important, else how would you know what he/she is comfortable with! -boat
It all depends on your feelings towards to girl/guy you going out with. I mean, its like if you feel comfortable with the guy/girl, go ahead, if not wait till you are comfortable.go with the flow.
My girlfriend.. well I don't know if were are still together long distant relationship sucks haha... but anyways sometimes... she likes to hold hands but in public sometimes she's afraid... I guess she likes to keep her relationship life private or she is embarassed of me =\ She said she normally don't hold hands to often so its kinda strange for her.. but each girl is different... too much hand holding gives sweaty palms BE HAPPY ^^
