Secret meaning?

If you go to shake hands with someone, and the guy scratches your palm while doing so...is there any meaning behind it? I'm not out (openly) and the guy who did it is straight (but I have my suspicions). Just wanted to know if I should read into anything here. Thought it was kind of odd.
 
Or he could be one of those neurolinguistic programming people who likes to try out the handshake trick.
 
My brother's friends used to do that just to mess with people... I have no idea if there is an actual purpose though.
 
The only time I've ever had someone do that to me was when a friend and I were shaking hands. We fooled around a couple months ago. I think that was a little inside joke between the two of us but if a somewhat random person did it, i would just think its just random
 
There really isn't enough context to be able to tell. Was this a first meeting with a complete stranger? An old friend you tend to joke with? A business associate? Was alcohol consumed? Does the person in question have neurological/muscular concerns? Was the "scratch" a simple rubbing of his fingers across your palms, or an actual scratching back and forth motion?

I wouldn't consider him a close friend...a friend nonetheless. I've known him for more than five years. He has a girlfriend who I am good friends with. I've known both of them seperately, before they got together. I am not close enough with him where "joking" like this would be appropriate. It was a clearly an intentional gesture. I'd classify it more of a tickling of the palm than a scratching. He's never come on to me before...it wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be gay though. He's very attractive, and very cocky. I heard somewhere that a gesture like this has some sort of sexual/hidden meaning. I'm 23 by the way, he is 25...just in case that helps.
 
Maybe his fingers just got folded under or something. From what you describe, him having a girlfriend and you being a friend to both and having known both before they were together, I would doubt there to be any sexual context to it.

It is possible, however, that he considers you a closer friend than you consider him.

Or maybe his gf wants a 3way with you and he is considering the possibility?

Or maybe someone dared him to do it just to see how you would react. There are still too many possibilities.
 
Yeah, like Yahoo answers is going to be an objective source of info.
 
It is in fact a signal that means he's interested in guys (in general), and interested in you (in specific). That is, assuming he knew it was. The only way to find out is to meet up with him again, and return the signal.

when i was in college, my roommate told me this was signal that a guy was intrested in you.
 
How can it be a good secret message if all us gays don't know about it? :lol:
 
The point isn't that all gays know about it. It's that most straight guys don't. :)

Yes, He made a pass at you. He was flirting. Next time you see him, flirt back. Wink or look him up and down and raise an eyebrow. Have fun and don't take it so seriously. Scratching someone's palm has been done for ages! He made a move, now it's your turn.

Wondering why nobody has suggested scratching girlfriend's palm so far...

Does it really matter in this case wether it is a secret 'code' or it isn't? The other guy has still got that damn girlfriend :)
 
Every time that has happened to me, I've gotten either a hand job or a blow job. No kidding.

I don't know if it's a "code" or not, but one thing led to another. But, maybe straight guys caught onto it and do it as a joke? I don't know. My guess is, it's not as reliable a come-on as just grabbing someone's crotch. That's pretty unmistakable.
