I love that so much! Never had a man in my life like the one I do now. I’m not giving this one up easily. Luckily, he says the same... :)

ROFLMAO! Perfect!

I know what you mean. Mr. GG2 will have to die to get rid of me.

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

Anything approaching a PDA is essentially unheard of in Japan. I have seen schoolgirls holding hands as they walk to and from school, but that's about it; adults, particularly married couples, never show affection publicly.

I hadn’t previously heard that you have someone new in your life, Diana. Congratulations, and best wishes for the rest of your co-existence!

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.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.

Most men have already ‘wearing the glove’ long before Ebola, if you know what I mean.

Young or old you hold hands always. Even when you’re arguing.

Really? How sweet! You don't often see that here in North America. I bet you hold hands almost all the time without shame or embarrassment when you are out with friends, or generally in public.

Good post. Nice screen name.

So how does anyone get anything done with only one hand? You don't have to clean the house together, do you?

Touch is a very important part of being alive.

It's one of the 5 senses for a reason.

From what I've seen, Americans hug each other a lot, but they rarely hold hands for long. Germans seem to touch each other, but never hold on, the Irish/Scottish fight to show love, and the Polish/Ukrainian hold hands.

Thanks for this excellent post.

[Tax-chick]

Latin Americans hold hands among friends or siblings much more than is done by people in the U.S. or Canada.

[fanfan]

How wonderful!

Congratulations, and best wishes from the fanfan family as well!

[fanfan]

We don’t hold hands nearly enough. :-)

[Tax-chick]

We have one child by the hand and another by the ear.

[Aurorales]

My husband and I hold hands. Of course. We’ve been married over 26 years.

I took offense to the “Americans and Germans don’t show affection like other nationalities do” line.

That line was BS. I am surprised no other FReeper caught that insult. The poster was saying Americans were unloving jerks, but he was a perfect man.

That is what I had a problem with.

[El Cid]

LOL! ... Okay...

[fanfan]

LOL!

Good job Mom and Dad.

[Silentgypsy]

Actually, my husband holds my hand when we’re in a mall, but that’s just to prevent me from going shopping.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Thank you! It’s been wonderful. He’s someone that I’ve known for close to 30 years and never EVER ‘looked at’ as a romantic or life partner. Go figure!

When you’re just doin’ your own thing and minding your own business, sometimes Love just shows up. :)
