Ye but that varies from relationship to relationship, depends on the people u know, I’ve had some friends that I’ve held hands w too, but it’s still not really the same longing for intimacy as with a love interest I guess
for me if i hold hands with a friend it's just like whatever, you know im not invested in it, it's just nice maybe, but if i hold hands with someone im romantically interested in, i get butterflies in my stomach or i can feel like in my body that im longing for them or it makes me really happy to be holding hands or something. deeper feelings than just "this is fine/nice"
