The gesture of crossing one's fingers for good luck is older than one might think: in some pre-Christian European cultures, two people would cross their fingers together as a show of support, teamwork, or mutual well-wishing: very much like the modern handshake.
The medieval Christians adapted it as a variation on the sign of the cross, to ward off witches and evil spirits (in the same way that today's crosses can supposedly keep vampires at bay).
Over the centuries, 'keeping away the bad' evolved into 'inviting forth the good', and thus was the modern meaning of the superstition born.
Crossing your fingers is a common gesture to express hope or luck. It is believed to have originated from pre-Christian times as a way to ward off evil spirits and protect oneself from harm. Today, it is often used in a more lighthearted way to wish for good luck or success.
When you cross your fingers you are wishing for luck. You may do this when you are hoping to go on a second date with someone you like.

Clicking your fingers refers to the action of snapping your fingers together to create a sharp sound. This is usually done by quickly bringing your thumb and another finger (usually the middle finger) together, causing friction and producing the clicking sound. It is often used to get someone's attention or as a form of expression or rhythm.
Drumming or tapping fingers can symbolize impatience, nervousness, excitement, rhythm, or creativity, depending on the context and individual. It may also be a way to release excess energy or keep focus.
If you are biting my fingers, I can gently redirect or remove my fingers from your mouth and replace them with a safe object for chewing. To stop finger biting, you can try using bitter-tasting products on your fingers, offer a teething toy as an alternative, or practice positive reinforcement techniques when you refrain from biting.
