This is a very good question. If you're poorly versed in hand-to-hand etiquette, the female may reject you as a mate and leave for other pastures.
When you are walking alongside her, begin to excrete your scent musk as a forward to her. If she doesn't turn away, maneuver the hand adjacent to hers into the neighboring palm. If you use the opposite appendage, you'll have to reach across your torso, which is a common beginner error.
Now begins the entwining process. Curl your thumb around hers (if you are unsure about which one you're reaching for, look down for a cue) and feel for any positive signs of acknowledgment from her. If she doesn't mace you (speaking from experience, this is a common response, so don't think you did anything wrong), then carefully put your index finger into position. Continue accordingly with each finger. If you want to impress her, you can mix things up by altering the order of reticulation. By this, I mean that rather than, say, leading with your thumb and following up with the consecutive finger, you can keep it interesting by using your middle finger before the index. This is an advanced method, though, so only attempt it once you have some experience, but when mastered, she will be driven into utter heat.
Once the entirety of the hand is clasped, exert just enough pressure to keep hers in yours comfortably, but not so much that the bones in her hand are fractured. I still do this by accident to this day, so don't be lax with your attentiveness.
That was awesome.
Or you can be creative. When you see her give her a hug, then right afterwards hold her hand and say, "cmon, we're going to be late", or something of that nature. Or if you drive stick, tell her to put her hand on top of your hand while you're gripping the shift knob, that way she can experience the feeling of changing gears... most girls have fun with that.
Or maybe I just had weird experiences...
