@MissMaybe thanks

@TammieBear Thank you Tammy!!!

@SW-User Can i hold your hand? 🤗

@IAmJess anytime, on any day 😁 🤗

@Drummer Agreed! And thank you!

@Fangirl I just wish it was normal and not even worth noticing. Like no different than a straight couple holding hands.

@IAmJess Sorry. If it makes ya feel any better I do that to straight couples too lol

@IAmJess Straight couples showing public affection have received disparaging remarks in my lifetime by some.
It's affection. It's love. We need more of it.

@Eyesropen Thank you for that. I'm sorry your life is so stressful right now. I hope things get better.

Oh. Yeah, ain't no big thang...

@manly Well, we are definitely in the suburbs and not right in Boston. And, honestly, I don't know if there were other girls out holding hands because I wasn't trying to notice anybody but who I was with. BUT, I kept noticing people doing the double take and when they did their eyes were focused on our hands. And in case it was just me and I was just being paranoid (completely possible), I asked her about it when we sat for lunch and she had noticed the same thing.

@Mermaid And I've held hands with friends before. Interesting you say that because when people'd stare at us then I didn't care. If it was someone I knew, I'd stick my tongue out or something equally as silly. But I think I felt different, more self conscious, today because it was a date.

---

@IAmJess yeah I understand! I guess you feel self conscious because some people don't like that kind of thing/it draws attention because lesbian relationships are rare, well a lot less common than straight ones.

@xRedx Thank you!

@EllieTheKittyKat I just wish it could be a non-thing.

@Waymore What???

@Waymore That makes no sense

@Elandra77 Thanks. I just wish it could be nothing to make note of. Like nothing to see here, go on with your lives kinda thing.

@IAmJess It is far better now than it once was. Anymore it should not even be an issue.

@Elandra77 Thanks

@IAmJess true thank u

@Princessjen11 Good decision deleting that. Always be safe on places like this. They can be fun, but they are also very dangerous.

Anyway, nice to meet you! We actually don't live very far apart considering that most of my SW friends aren't even in my time zone!

Pm me

@RemovedUsername619397 Exactly

@insextra I think it should be nothing. Neither cool nor not cool. Just two people holding hands.

@IAmJess i think i just insinuated that .

@insextra Thanks!

@PeanutsauntieP1982 Do you think the same way when you see a straight couple holding hands?

Yes. I am happy to see two people in love. I LOVE seeing couples hold hands. I guess that's my inner romantic...

@SW-User I don't know that anyone thought it was wrong, but I was just surprised by the number of people today who did a double take at us. And I don't know that it was because we were holding hands. I just don't like being the one being looked at like that.

@IAmJess lol..weird people

@UndeadSona Hmmm ... maybe some I guess.

@dunpender Why? To each his own, right?

@sighmeupforthat Thank you for that...

@IAmJess With you totally on that.

@mathsman Then why did you say, "It's so sexy"? That's the opposite reaction. Actually, reactions like that are the problem.

@IAmJess Because a couple holding hands is so sexy

@IAmJess doingS vaginaLz or aNaLz?

@dunpender You said ...
But about straight people doing the EXACT SAME THING you said ...
The "problem" is clearly all in your head. Stop imagining what is going on in someone else's bedroom and take care of your own life.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Well yes, I know you're right about that. But I'm not assuming that everyone who looked or did a double take was thinking we were wrong for holding hands. Some, like commenters here, might have been like "Oh look! Two girls holding hands! How cute!" Ugh, shoot me.

@IAmJess That is still a thought of weird/strange. If it was normal they would not even glance for that fact

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Exactly my point!!!!!
