Holding hands = fine.
If its not working for you, maybe you guys are just not clicking.

 Holding hands can mean a few of thing, love, friendship, family bonds, i freqently hold hands with alot of my female friends, doesnt mean we fancy each other tho :P and then again with my girlfriends.

holding hands is like a hug, sometimes friendly, some times loving, just depends who its with which determins which sort :)

 Why would ANYONE thinking holding hands is juvenile? I know they do, but that's such a shame. They're missing out in my opinion! It's nothing like holding your parent's hand to stay safe. Hold hands when you want, there doesn't have to be a time and a place. Anywhere and everwhere I say! Except whilst driving as that's dangerous ;)
Some people don't hold hands. Some younger people think they'll be ridiculed. Some older people maybe think they're too old too hold hands. There is no age limit to holding hands, stuff what anyone else thinks or says. It's lovely to have a hand to hold.
What's wrong with couple-y if you're in a relationship, you are a couple!?
I think it's a sign of affection, of 'belonging' (not in the possessive sense), of committment, of friendship, of co-dependeancy and nothing to be ashamed of.
Me and my fella hold hands almost all the time; in bed, watching tv, shopping, cinema. If it's not possible to hold hands, there's always constant contact, whether a hand on a knee or whatever. Neither of us are clingy or needy. We have a great relationship and are in love, we just express it by a lot of touch.

 If you want to hold hands do it my partner and i are in our late forties and we hold hands and kiss in public it is showing you have affection for your partner .

 I guess it depends on who it is holding your hand. When you say "too couple-y", I assume you mean someone is trying to hold your hand that isn't your boyfriend. . . or you don't want people to know is your boyfriend. I'm not sure. But in any event, I hold my girlfriend's hand at any opportunity. . . and she holds back. LOL.
I think hand-holding is sensuous, and tells the other person that "I care for you". If you care for the other person, go for it.
