What is sometimes a good idea to do when holdin' hands wif a pretty girl for da first time or two, particularly if (A) she is somewhat on da shy side, and/or (B) if she is considerably younger and/or smaller-statured than you, and so you don't want her to feel "pinioned" or "dominated". It simply involves your holdin' out yer gorilla-paws and cradling her slender delicate digits in yer palms, but not actually closing yer own fingers over hers, so that her hands are always "free". Usually da tentative-natured cutie will be so grateful for your gentle accommodating of her bashful uncertainty in this way that she will feel like "rewarding:" you by keeping her soft warm palms resting right there in yers for as long as you wish.
I employed da open-palm hand-clasp when I first tentatively romanced a slight-figured mid-teens sweetie-chick whom I'd known and played fun outdoor-games with ever since she was a cheerful smiley little girl; I guess my strategy worked, too, since she seemed totally "calm 'n' comfy" towards me, and never showed even the slightest inclination to lift away her shapely slender hands while she was sitting beside me on da couch. Plus most of her immediate family was home, as well, and they were also being super-friendly and warmly-welcoming to me while we were all sharing light casual conversation as a cohesive group, and so I actually felt like I was holding hands wif da whole family, not just wif Cute Daughter.

What ya do when ya wanna hold hands "skin-to-skin" wif yer hunnybunny while strolling around town together, but it's cold outside and so ya both have to wear gloves. What ya do is to simply "share" one pair of gloves between the two of you (put the left glove on your left hand and the right glove on yer companion's right hand), interlace the fingers of yer bare right hand with those of your sweetie's left hand, and then tuck your clasped hands inside your right jacket-pocket to keep both hands warm.
Doing da inside-of-pocket hand-clasp is usually okay for short periods of time, but eventually one or both of you may start to get a wrist-cramp from the slightly awkward grasp-angle, or your upper wrists may begin to get chilly from being partially exposed to the cold air. If the latter issue is the case, wearing a flock-lined pullover-hoodie can sometimes eliminate this discomfort, since this style of garment will usually have a nice long horizontal pocket that's specifically intended for "storing" your hands, and so you can both "burrow" your hands a lot "deeper" inside the jacket's thick cloth "tunnel" and thus have all of your wrist-skin covered.

The tearfully-touching gesture that often occurs when a pair of hand-holders hafta take off in opposite directions but are reluctant to let go of each other's hand; it involves the couple's slowly walking away from each other but still retaining their finger-clasps until their arms are fully extended between them. Several extra points if you considerately take the time to gradually/gently slide your fingers free of your friend's in a slow affectionately-caressing movement.
Tiffany and I always make sure to perform the lingering hand-clasp whenever we hafta part company after a delightful beach stroll or dinner-date; it helps keep us happier and miss each other a bit less until we are able to canoodle again the next time.

Refers to where two mushy-hearted guys wif "different-but-delightful" personalities tenderly cradle a cute chick's ten slender digits between each of theirs at da same time --- i.e., one nice fellow affectionately interlaces his fingers palm-to-palm wif da girl's, and then da other pleasant-mannered dude lays his own hands against da backs of said sweet blinky-eyed damsel's hands and softly folds his own fingers into da mix, as well. Extra points if said two gentle-natured male admirers "split da softness" --- i.e., rather than one fellow's "hogging" both of da girl's warm velvety palms so dat da other guy only gets to touch da backs of her hands, each dude takes one palm and one back of da girl's hands when initially grasping them, so dat both guys get an equal share of "palming" and "spooning".
Employing da wheat-and-rye-bread sandwich-hand-clasp is indeed super-pleasant and satisfying, but you can get even more creative than that... why not try da "poppy-seed-bun hand-clasp" --- i.e., where ya share da girl's hands wif a freckled dude --- or a "wheat-and-Pumpernickel-bread sandwich-hand-clasp", which involves letting an African-American hunk share a little squeezy fingers-'n'-palms fun wif said smiling sweetie-pie, also.
