<human>: Is there any advice you can give me in terms of hand holding. Sounds really pathetic but probably hard to know when its suitable or when it is not.

Anything that is helpful such as when she wants you to hold your hand, will she want to hold hands on a first date, any ways in which you can initiate holding hands so its subtle and any signs she doesn't want to hold hands.

I know it is not kissing, but at least it will make the mode more romantic...

 Also, any funny stories that happened to you while you were holding hands or tried to?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Any advice on holding hands? How to initiate holding hands? Signs she wants to/doesnt want to hold hands? etc.
