So i was just wondering which side of your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse do you stand on like when you walking together or holding hands? cause i noticed that guys usually stand on the left and girls usually stand on the right so it would be kind of neat to see where everyone stands.

Personally I usually stand on the left and when im on the right its kind of weird and it doesn't feel right.

Depends on which direction the window seat (the part not next to the road) is facing. Walking next to the road or sitting anywhere not next to a window is bad.

Usually on the right, come to think of it.

With the few girlfriends I've had I always stood on the left and held hands with my gimp hand (right hand).

It's kinda like wearing a watch. I prefer to wear a watch on my gimp hand.

always the left
some ppl look at me like what whyyyyy just walk in a straight line but i have to cut across & be on the left!
with mates i can settle for the right if theres too many & get pushed out but with my gf allllways the left,dont know why

odd

i'm always on the right, always. I have no idea why lol. And when holding hands, my hand always has to be the one with the palm facing forwards lol.

Beth · 6th Oct 2008, 02:27 PM

maybe part of it is cuz i wear my bag on my left shoulder & she has hers on her right but i still like the left
hmm

To the left to the left! Everything you own in the box to the left!

When I'm with anyone it's the right side, unless we are sitting in a booth or some other seat not easily exitable, then I have to be on the outside, no matter. Along with this, if you carry a wallet what pocket is it in, left or right? Mine is on the left side.

littledinosaurs · 6th Oct 2008, 04:23 PM

my wallet is in my left side too

lap531 · 6th Oct 2008, 04:44 PM

i dont have a wallet but i put all my stuff is in the right side

I haven't walked hand-in-hand with anyone (yet), but since I'm left handed and my boyfriend is probably going to be right handed just by going by the stats, I'd probably be more naturally inclined to walk on the right.
