Sweetie, He's thinking the same thing you are. Just nudge his hand a couple of times,every now and then.A cute little giggle helps.Then you will be holding hands. You already got his attention. He's with you, not anyone else.

Don't ask him about holding hands! Ignore that person! He would look at you like you're insane.
Just talk to him normally, turn on the flirt a little bit...as you talk, occasionally touch his shoulder, or his arm, but don't go overboard, this is just to break the touch-barrier. After a while, when you're having a more serious conversation, and you are giving him advise, or offering comfort, you can touch his hand, briefly, when appropriate. Like, "It'll be okay" and lay your hand on his until you've said it, then move away. This isn't overbearing, but it lets him know you're okay with it.
Other than that, wait for him to hold your hand unless you can absolutely tell that he likes you. But doing the above will let him know he is free to hold your hand if he so chooses.
Good luck!

I starred you because this is actually how my boyfriend (of 6 years) and I started dating. We joked around a lot before we started dating and we used to always tickle each other. One day we were sitting on his couch watching a movie with some friends. And we starting tickling each other and poking each other in the leg. I sorta noticed that every time we did this to each other that he was moving his hand less away from mine. It went on like that for a couple minutes. Just to test how things were going I moved my hand away (to like move my hair out of my face or something) and he looked upset. So I put my hand back. A couple minutes later I realized we were basically holding hands anyway and we've been together since.

Well if you like the guy then tell him!!! Holding hands is kind of a flirt tip. So go ahead and make your move! If he holds you hand back then there's a possibleity that he like you! :)

Guys tend to be sensitive about being seen holding hands with a girl and are rarely willing to do it with a girl they are not already dating. Unless he is helping you cross a stream of climb over a fence I doubt it can be done and it isn't worth tricking him into it as he will resent the trick and may even resent the holding of hands without knowing there was any trickery involved.

Start off playing with their hand, then make your way to holding and see how he reacts. If he seems uncomfortable, let go, and try another day. If he holds on too, lean close and start a conversation as you walk, something to keep the walk long and going. Maybe a kiss, if your daring!

Sorry to say that nobody can give a strait answer to your question!
Holding hands is a way of expressing feelings and these feelings must come all by themselves. No feelings, no holding hands!

If you are unsure whether they like you back you should start by just brushing your hand against his or putting your hand on top of his and looking at him to see what his reaction is. If he smiles or tries to hold yours back then go for it! But if he pulls his away it's probably not a good idea to pursue it any further.
Hope this helps! :)

Sometimes people hold hands in less-than-romantic situations. Maybe you're at the mall with the guy, and you want to show him something at a store. Grab him by the hand, like you're in a hurry, and drag him across the mall to show him something. See if he lets go!

If you don't know if he likes you back, I wouldn't recommend trying but you did ask so, when you're walking with him, walk as you always do, but casually brush your hand against his and don't say anything and see what he says/does. Either he'll
A.go and hold your hand
B. start wondering about you more but not hold your hand
or C. be wondering why you did that if he doesn't like you or might not even realize it.
