Why is he now shrinking from holding my hand in public? Is this a sign that he's less interested?

Question - (18 October 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 October 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I have been going out for two years and September 20th is our third year anniversary.

We've haven't had sex yet because I'm still a virgin but that hasn't harmed our relationship one bit. The only thing that's been bothering me is why he won't hold my hand in public.

I know he hates too much but holding hands is the most we've done in public.

He used to never want to let go of my hand, but now he seems like he's embarrassed. Now he would hold my hand only when I reach for his, then he would do some sly move as an excuse to not hold my hand and that would get me mad and end up putting him on a guilt trip.

Only then will he hold my hand and I wouldn't want to hold his hand by then because I feel that he isn't holding my hand like he wants to. What can I do or not do to solve this issue. I don't like nagging or bickering and this is the only thing that I do nag about with him. Help me I dont like nagging or bickering.

Honeypie agony auntYou already knew he hated holding hands in public, but when the relationship was new and all he wanted to do was please YOU he did it. Now that he is more comfortable with you and the relationship he tries to avoid it, because.... he still hates holding hands.

Stick to holding hand when you two are just by yourselves. While watching a movie of talking. If he isn't a fan of PDA why FORCE him?
