Treasure every moment.

Indeed.

I don’t know if any freepers pay attention or care about my posts in the past. I am an unmarried business owner expanding here in Warsaw. I started dating a wonderful Polish woman. You don’t have a choice of holding hands here. The only time we are not holding hands is when she has my whole arm. It seems to be the way it works here. Young or old you hold hands always. Even when you’re arguing. I must admit I do find it nice.

Touch is a very important part of being alive. Even birds and monkeys spend time touching eachother. It seems the only species that don’t make a habit of touching eachother are Americans and Germans!

[Aurorales]

Give me a break.

So Americans and Germans are jerks and don’t touch the ones they love? And every one else in every other wonderful, loving, nation, showers each other with public displays of affection?

You are so full of BALONEY!

Mr. Wonderful and I always hold hands; even when we’re sleeping we reach for one another that way. It is the sweetest gesture, ever.

If you have someone to love, don’t ever, EVER take it for granted. :)

Vat can I say, ve are shtant-uffish.

[AppyPappy]

Keeps her from slapping the crap out of ya.

[lee martell]

Oh please, say to me, you’ll let me be your man, and please say to me, ‘I wanna hold your hand’!!!!

Indeed.

I have been married to the same wonderful woman (not always easy, but wonderful (like, sometime I really wonder)) for 35 years.

We were in Santa Barbara a few years ago and walking along the beach holding hands. This little old lady coming the other way noticed us and stopped us and offered a blessing to God on our behalf since we were holding hands and having a good time. I will always remember that moment. I like holding my wife's hand.

full of BALONEY—

Even a sandwich full of baloney touches lettuce, cheese, mustard, and mayonnaise.

(Showers with each other???)

[super7man]

I do not know where you come from or where you have been, but when I see my kids or wife after being apart, a big family hug is what we do.

I love my kids, I love my wife, and I have no problem showing it. And visa versa.

bttt

[El Cid]

What if she has Ebola - can I wear a glove?

(sorry - with all of the Ebola posts out there, I couldn't help dragging it into this innocuous post that was sharing good advice)

It seems the only species that don’t make a habit of touching eachother are Americans and Germans!

Gaw dam right.

You touch me and I will kill you.

[GOP Poet]

lovely.

[Mathews]

Damn. Who hurt your feelings? Dude is right. We don’t show a lot of affection in public. So what?

[krunkygirl]

I don’t hold your extreme views, but I am an ‘occasional’ hand holder
and that’s enough for me ... :)

Nonsense. Here is lovely picture of Germans holding hands.

My daughter just the other day asked me and my wife why we don’t hold hands! We have tried to make a point of doing so - and this article highlights some reasons.

I just dropped my son off to college (sophomore year). Christian school. It was odd to see his buddies rush up to him and give him a body-slam and hug. But they are a close-knit bunch of kids.

Mr GG2 holds my hand everywhere we go.
