5. The Over-The-Shoulder Lock: Similar to the interlocking fingers handhold, this position brings you and your partner very close together, thereby creating a lovingly intimate bond. It goes beyond just a “handhold,” however. In this stance, your partner is wrapping their body around you, making for a very protective, yet casual gesture. If you’re the one whose arm is wrapped over the shoulder, that means you take pride in your relationship, and that you would selflessly defend your partner from any dangers.
