Signs she is ready for him to hold her hand

Holding hands is a great way to show her that you like her. Holding your girlfriend’s hand for the first time can be a little nerve-wracking, especially if you’re not sure if she wants to hold your hand. So, here are some signs that your girlfriend is ready for you to hold her hand .

Signs your girlfriend is ready for you to hold her hand

She put her hand near yours.

Observation is key in any relationship. Watch her hands when she sits next to you. If they are almost touching, that's a pretty good sign that she wants you to hold them. You can test this by gently nudging or touching her hand. If she doesn't pull away, chances are she's ready for you to hold her hand. She can also place her hand next to yours if you're sitting at a table or on a couch.

She leaned on her friend.

If she feels her hand touching yours, she probably wants you to hold it. For example, if you're walking and she keeps moving closer to touch your hand, reach out and grab hers to see how she reacts. If she really wants to hold your hand, she'll be happy that you're making the first move.

If you're not sure, try touching her hand with yours. If she doesn't pull away, she probably wants to hold your hand.

She touches your shoulder or arm

Breaking the touch barrier is a great sign. If you're talking and she keeps tapping you on the shoulder or touching your arm, it means she's ready for more intimate touching. You can then try holding her hand or tapping her on the arm in return for physical touch.

She put her arm around you

A girl might put her arm around you while you're walking together. Since it's pretty much the same as holding hands, she'll probably be okay with holding your hand a little longer. If you want to hold hands, just slide her hand down to yours and hold it as you continue walking.

This is a great way to break the touch barrier, but it's a slightly bolder move.

She is not surprised when you touch her hand.

Even if it's just an accident, she probably won't let go. If you're walking and accidentally brush hands, she'll probably move closer. Or, if you're sitting and talking and you accidentally put your hand on hers, she'll probably smile or even blush.

If she quickly pulls away after you touch her, it means she's not ready to hold hands yet. That's okay, give her some time.
