Today, I went shopping with my cousin. Walking down the road, I heard her say "Can you hold my hand?" I was confused, but thought it was cute, so I held her hand and kept walking. It turns out she'd asked me to hold her bag. We didn't say another word after that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a cute girl was walking towards me. She held up her hand for a high five, so I also did the same. I hadn't noticed her friend behind me, and was left hanging and embarrassed. FML
Today, I was walking down the hallway at work when I saw a coworker I hadn't talked to in a while. I went for a high-five as a friendly greeting, but she didn’t see me coming and instead awkwardly grabbed my hand like she was about to hold it. We both froze for a second, and then awkwardly sighed and practically ran away. FML
Today, I was on a date with this girl I actually like. The date was going really well and it seemed like it would be a good night. While in the movie theater, I went to hold her hand and instead she gave me a hand shake and said, "You're so funny, I'm so glad we're friends". FML
Today, the girl I've had a crush on decided she wanted to see a movie with me. I tried to hold her hand during the movie and it was great for about four minutes. Then she said, "Can I have my hand back?" FML
Today, while I was shopping at a store with my friend, I noticed a cute girl smiling at us. My friend said, "She's all yours," and walked away. When I approached her, she asked me if my friend was single. FML
Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML
Today, my girlfriend threatened to break up with me because I crossed the street without holding her hand. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend for a kiss, and in response, she suggested that we settle for a hand hug. FML
Today, while shopping with my sister, she asked me to wait for her while she quickly said hello to a friend. I sat on a bench for an hour before I realised she wasn't coming back. Turns out, "Hello" had turned into a date. FML
Today, after countless nights spent together and flirty texts, I decided ask my crush on a date while at a party. We went on a walk and held hands. Just as I asked him, he said no, let go of my hand and briskly walked away. He was my ride home. FML

How old is your cousin? If she's much younger, then whatever, you held her hand. If she's about your age, and she asked you to hold your hand, you should have laughed and said no. Weirdo.

you thought it was cute?

If his cousin is much younger, then yes, it is cute.

Im sure she wasn't if he clearly said it was awkward.
KiddNYC1O 22
So just because it was awkward you're completely ruling out that she's much younger? Maybe they've never held hands before. Although it does insinuate it was awkward... point to me where op clearly says "it was awkward" in that anecdote...

his name on top is "awkwardd" .. dead give away. and yeah I'm thinking she was about his age maybe a few years younger but not significantly
jdeshnerx3 0
and the fact that he was confused.. kind of makes me think she was around his age

My bad, that went unnoticed by me. Anyways, point taken.

Just be glad that it wasn't a male cousin that asked you to hold his bag.
