Its not the technique thats failing, its you.
I will add not only confidence, but his problem might also be bad people reading skills.
You do not touch hands or hold hands "mechanically" because it was in some guide. You hold it when you see it would work.
I had NEVER had a single incident where they did not want to hold hands with me when I took them because I was reading the situation and was 100% certain that it would be well reciprocated.
To some people this "never" by me may sound either unbelievable or bragging, but to people who naturally can read people and chicks it would be the same. You just know when it is the right moment to hold her hand and you know that it will be reciprocated. It is not something you do "mechanically", it just happens so to speak.
