Two people hold hands, apart from in the case of a handshake:

  • to express friendship or love
  • to guide a child
  • to keep together in a crowd
  • for emotional support

Whether friends hold hands depends on [[[culture]] and gender: in the Western culture this is mainly done by woman and small children. In arab countries it is also done by men.
