Line 13 ⟶ 12: Compare with [[Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies]]: That choice of movies is when the male character would rather have the girl thrown in his arms. Probably a [[Undead Horse Trope]]: -- [[Seen It a Million Times]] but often subverted: * Bob grabs the wrong hand. (Add bonus points if it's a big, badass guy. Extra points if he seems to like it.) Line 21 ⟶ 20: * Bob makes a mistake and grabs his [[Abhorrent Admirer]] instead. * He watches the [[Romantic False Lead]] embrace Alice. Those two things can overlap to add tension, or in the contrary lead to [[Pair the Spares]]. * It can be Alice's point of view, and she can discover that it's somebody else (the big guy for instance, or a serial murderer like in ''[[Scream (~~Film~~film)\|Scream]] 2'') that is embracing her. * Sometimes at the beginning of scenes, arguments can happen for who gets to sit next to Alice (if she came with more than one boy) Overlap with [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] and [[Will They or Won't They?]]. Often a first step in a [[Relationship Upgrade]]. Sister trope to [[Yawn and Reach]], except that for reach the excuse [[Pass the Popcorn]] is more used in theaters. A variant can happen in front of a TV, [http://allison-now.deviantart.com/art/Silent-Kiss-33097055 just like in this Bra/Goten fanart].▼ {{examples}}▼ ▲A variant can happen in front of a TV, [http://allison-now.deviantart.com/art/Silent-Kiss-33097055 just like in this Bra/Goten fanart]{{Dead link}}. ==== Type A ====▼ ▲{{examples}} == Live Action TV ==▼ ▲==== Type A ==== ▲=== Live Action TV === * DJ and her boyfriend in ''[[Full House]]'', except an employee comes and breaks their kissing moment. === Western Animation === * In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', there's no cinema due to the low technology civilisation, but there's regular theaters, in "[[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book ~~the~~3/17 The Ember Island Players~~/Recap~~\|The Ember Island Players]]". Sokka has his arm around Suki most of the time, but they were a [[Official Couple]] already. === Real Life === * [~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Man_Ray~~:Man Ray\|Photographer Man ray]] tells in a biography his first date with model [~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Alice_Prin~~:Alice Prin\|Kiki]] in a theater: "I was searching for Kiki's hand in the dark." * Countless actual dates in cinemas and theatres [[Omnipresent Trope\|the world over]] for [[Older Than Feudalism\|as long as there have been such places]] have involved handsplay. ==== Type B ==== === Advertising ===▼ ▲== Advertising == * A brutal subversion in that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36kEgDe3q0Y Rolo ad] as the girl is attacked. * Averted with this one: [http://www.culturepub.fr/videos/breast-fest-festival-de-films-cancer-du-sein-feel-up there's a mistake on the owner's hand] === Anime and Manga === * ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~½]]'': When [[Gender Bender\|Ranma]] has to be pretend to be in love with [[Iron Butt Monkey\|Kuno]] (long story), this trope gets lampshaded. {{quote\| '''Kuno:''' But, my love, holding hands in a theater will be the proof of our love!~~<br />~~ '''Ranma:''' Let's not push it. }} === Live-Action TV === * Subverted on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SAqreFLzeM#t=1m00s the season one Opening Credits] of ''[[Happy Days]]'': Richie & Potsie are out with a couple of girls at the movies, the boys on the outside and the girls on the inside.

So he pays a lady to pretend she's Slater's mom, and to sit between them in order to kill any attempt. === Literature === * [[Gender Flip\|Genderflipped]] in ''[[Book of the Stars]]''.
