Just say hello. You already know one thing: they’re open to meeting someone. Start with something natural about where you are.
Keep it simple. “Hi, I noticed your pin. Are you a hiker too?” That’s it.
That’s okay. You tried. This is about real-world connection, and not every conversation turns into something. Move on.
It means the person wearing it is single and open to meeting someone for a real relationship. This is not for hookups. This person wants to .... hold your hand.
Because it's hard to embelish and exaggerate in person. What you see is what you get.
It is really hard to tell if someone is single. Many men don't wear wedding rings. And people who are in a committed relationship (boyfriend/girlfriend) don't wear any rings. This way you know that the person you've been eyeing at the gym is single, available, and interested in a relationship. This makes it 'safe' to approach them.
This is NOT for you. Hold Your Hand is for people who are actually (legally, mentally, authentically) single and available.
Then you go back to your hike, workout, coffee, or book - which you already liked doing anyway.
