If she takes it off the table, then you should take that as a sign that she does not want to hold hands. You can also offer your hand to her. If you are walking together, hold your hand out to her to take. If you are sitting across from each other an a table, turn your hand over so it is palm-up.

One way to do this is to look her in the eyes, place your hands in hers, and smile. Although you didn't ask her, this way of holding hands is very personal and romantic. You're probably totally psyched that you're holding hands for the first time. But one important thing to do is to keep on acting as you normally do. Even though you probably paused the conversation by asking her to hold hands, start talking again, either about what you were talking about before or a new subject. You don't want to just start holding her hand and go silent on her! As awesome as holding hands is, it can't go on forever. There's no rule about when it's time to stop holding hands, but sometimes your hands get sweaty, or you both have to go through a doorway and you can't keep holding hands. Know that even though you asked her to hold hands, you don't have to ask her to stop. If you are worried about being too abrupt, give her hand a little squeeze and then let go. This is a nice way of letting her know that you enjoyed it, but it's time to let go. If you want, after you let go you can even say something like "I love holding your hand", or "I've been wanting to do that for a long time". This is a sweet thing to say and she'll love it!
