Other Observations about Hands
In dating, and/or relationships, feelings are often uneven. One person is more interested in the other than the other is interested in them. I recently found that you can tell who is who by the way a couple hold hands. Usually, one person holds on tight. The other person lets their hand go loose in the hold.
I don't know if this is true for all people; I suppose some people might have other reasons for holding hands tightly or loosely. But I do know that I've been both people - the one holding on tight, too tight at times, and the one with the limp, ever so limp hand. And looking back on those intertwined times, this theory of mine makes perfect sense.
