QuestionHow do I let go without being rude?
Community AnswerLike the article said, you could easily give her/his hand a light squeeze and let go as a way of saying, "This was nice, but it's time to let go." Another way is to slowly but surely loosen your grip around his/her hand. When you loosen your grip, they will most likely do the same and you can let go. -
QuestionIf I slightly touch someone's hand, will they hold hands with me?
Community AnswerThere's a good chance they will if they like you and/or if you're in a relationship with them. For example, your boyfriend would probably take that as a hint to hold your hand, but if you're sitting next to a friend and you do that, they'll probably just think you touched them on accident. -

QuestionI have a crush on a girl (I'm lesbian and so is she), and I am going to ask her out, but I want to hold hands too. How can I do that - just walk to class or something and grab her hand?
Community AnswerTry to get someplace you can be alone. Maybe ask them out to a place that you and your friends would go to as friends. The movies are a great place because one, it’s dark and leads to privacy, so nobody would crash your party. Two, you're already engaged in an activity that doesn’t require movement, and three, if they don’t want to hold your hand, then they won’t make a scene about it. -
