Ok, I guess that my question is a little silly but i'd still like your guys' imput! I was just wondering if it was ok for the girl to make a move such as when you're walking together or sitting together in the car, is it ok to reach out and initiate the hand holding? Do guys mind if you do it, or should you just wait until they do it? LOL, I know its not a big deal but I was just wondering! I haven't dated in so long that I can't remember whats what! So if there is any other advice as to what to do and not do when you first start dating, feel free to throw in that info as well! Thanks you guys!

Pianoguy can only speak for himself....but a woman initiating the hand holding is WONDERFUL...assuming the man you're with is comfortable enough with the gesture. And believe me...you'll know within 2 seconds! He'll either pull away quickly (out of fear) or comfortably "rest his hand in yours!"

Here's hoping your b/f chooses the 2nd option? :)

When I started dating the guy I am with now, I would causally give his leg a pat while he was driving. Just a pat and then back to my seat my hand would go. He ALWAYS would then smile and put his hand on my leg. I didn't want to have my hands all over him, that would be smothering, but I wanted him to know that I liked him and I think it assured him of that when I made a small first move
