zero hands

The speaker is encouraging the listener to take their hand and hold it, expressing their fears and anxieties about the relationship. The listener reassures them and expresses their appreciation for their consideration. They discuss their nervousness and insecurities, but ultimately hold hands and enjoy the moment. They also mention wanting a rematch in a card game and express gratitude for the relationship. The speaker ends with a humorous comment about being overwhelmed by affection. You got this. Just take his hand. If he's not comfortable yet, I'll let you know. No big deal. Okay, you didn't grab his hand as we were walking out the restaurant to the car. Just do it while you walk to the coffee shop. Just grab his hand. Just grab his hand. We've been dating for six months now. Just grab his hand. It's not that hard. Huh? Oh, nothing. I'm fine. Really, I promise. I'm fine. Oh, why is this so hard? Your parents, friends, even your grandpa said to just grab his hand. Now he'll think I'm a weirdo. Because I am a weirdo. Like I said, I'm fine just thinking about stuff. You know, just life, college, work. I'm scared to grab your hand because I fear you'll reject me and how I have trouble telling myself that you actually like me enough to date. I have a question. So, how do you feel about holding hands? Did I really just ask him about it? Why? Okay, I'm glad you're okay with it. He probably thinks I'm so weird asking him about this. Then again, who has their boyfriend if they can hold hands with him? Well, I didn't know how comfortable you would be, so I wanted to ask. I never want you to feel uncomfortable in this relationship. I appreciate you asking me that. You've never made me feel uncomfortable. Even when we first met, you respected my decision about meeting in a public place. You've always asked where I want to eat, if I have any ideas for dates. You feel safe and happy around me, and I don't want that to change. I never want that to. I do get nervous. A lot. Like, a lot, a lot. I... I... Listen, the reason I get anxious is not because I'm scared of you. It's because I overthink everything. Every word I say, every text I send, everything I do gets analyzed over and over again. Even when I remind myself that you wouldn't get me flowers or take me out if you didn't like me, I can't shut off my brain. I don't want to seem too weird in front of you. Ugh, I regret saying all of this. I know you said that you wouldn't buy flowers for just anyone. It's just, I've never been in a romantic relationship before, and I don't want to mess it up. I've gotten so comfortable over the months, but what if I get too comfortable? So comfortable that I do something that accidentally pushes you away. Like accidentally saying something that offends you, or doing something that makes you cringe from secondhand embarrassment. You wouldn't be pushed away by me? How are you so sure? You're right, I have shown more of my personality as I've gotten to know you better. We have a lot in common. Our tastes in music are similar, along with the shows and movies we like. To be honest, I was terrified while I waited for our first date, and like every date after that. I'm still nervous, and I don't know if I'll ever stop. I know you like me. You even introduced me as your girlfriend when we ran into one of your friends. I thought my heart was going to explode when I heard you say that. Well, I don't know if you're ready for that, and I also don't want to pressure you. I never want to be seen as pushy. I never want to accidentally make you feel uncomfortable when you're around me. Yeah, I guess I should have asked you how you felt. I was planning to, but I was advised to let you do it in your own time. Eh, it all worked out in the end. Why are we stopping in the parking lot? Do you need to get something from the store? I can go in with you. He's holding out his hand! Don't freak out! Don't freak out! I'm not blushing. I'm not blushing at all. Why are you holding out your hand? Do you need something from me? T-to hold it? You're ablutting me? I can hold your hand? Okay, okay, I'll hold it. It's really warm. This is nice. Your hand is very nice. It has a nice grip. Sorry if I hurt you. This is nice. Your hand is very nice. It has a nice grip. Sorry if I sound weird. Is that weird? Thank goodness. I was starting to overthink things again. So, what now? We already went to the restaurant and the coffee shop. Speaking of which, I want a rematch on the card game. Well, in fairness, where am I, but I had everything set up perfectly and you ruined it all! I was this close to winning! It's on. I will beat you next time. I'm glad we met. Getting to know you has been a lot of fun. I'm glad you feel the same. Maybe this relationship will go further than I thought. Wait a minute. What about when we kiss? How is that going to go? No, I'm fine. No, I'm fine. I'm seriously fine this time. Yep, I'm seriously going to die. This man may actually kill me from pure affection.
