Don't worry :) I'm sure he's mad about you (2 months is a long time)

My friend has a problem with her hands where he sweats a lot and it makes him really scared that he will freak a girl out with his sweaty hands - your bf may have the same problem and might not feel comfortable talking to you about it because of your age. Even at 18, he still doesn't feel okay telling his long-time girlfriend. I only know because we've been friends for... 7 years.

He may also just not feel comfortable holding hands - some guys have PDA (public displays of affection) problems. Try when you're alone sum where and walking or standing putting your arm around him. That's what my friend does so that he can be close to a girl but not freak her out. :)

Laura1318 agony auntHe could be shy or is not used to it. You will need to initiate holding his hands until he feels comfortable enough or from much practice.

Perhaps, you need to ask him that question and see what he has to say.

Either he's not ready for a relationship, or he's just not a man who likes to hold hands.
