these days, i feel that every lovers are having PDA (public display of affection) everywhere i tend to look at. some couples would kiss anywhere even when there are alot of people around them. there are even couples who hold/embrace each other so tight even in this super hot weather. is this just me giving other meanings to their actions because im not that used to showing so much affection in public? or am i just too old-fashioned that i can't catch up with today's environment?are you the type who kiss anywhere and anytime when you feel like doing it? do you always hold hands when you are walking? or are you the shy type who does these only when you are alone?

If you are in love....really in love....you will not notice whoever is around you, when your love is in front of you....For them the world and people around them doesn't exist....

It depends really on the situation. There are times when we are really affectionate everywhere, and not just in public, at other times we only do stuff when we are alone. Again it comes do to whether or not it is appropriate to do such acts (such as they may be kids everywhere).
It is true though that people these days are more comfortable in expressing their affections in public. I see it everywhere I go, even in some of the most unlikely places which I won't mention :)

My husband and I do hold hands or walk with our arms around each other in public. But, today it seems that there are quite a few couples who do tend to get really affectionate in public places. I think that it depends on the couple, but my husband and I would not really be very descriptive in a public display.

I have no problem with PDA in moderation, but some people take it too far. I was at my colleges computer lab the other day and some couple sits down right next to me and start making out. That bugs me and isn't something I really feel like seeing.

if you love somebody and you are with that person why not show it. PDA not only applies to lovers. it can be also to your kids ao to your parents. so why not show it. i dont care if i kiss my partner or kid around with him on public places, if they dont want to see it then my gosh dont look. well but if the couples are too young then its kinda not ok.

i really cant say if you are an old fashion type. but being affectionate is one big factor in yesterday's, today's and even tomorrow's relationship trends. it might as well depend on the type of people we are dealing with. but being affectionate, i believe, is already within each of us. you just have to try it out. and mind you, once you're in it. you wouldnt care being one of those with PDA's.

It all depends on our moods. Sometimes we hold hands, sometimes we will embrace in a hug. And we also kiss in public. I don't see anything wrong with this. We are showing each other how much we love and care for one another. I don't think that we cross the line to the point that we makeout in public though.

I am a type of a person who is affectionate. I never used to it that i'm going to show my love in public. I mean kissing, embrassing each other's arm or anything else except that we do sometimes do some holding hands but that is very seldom to happen. I guess, its a matter of how do we brought up by our parents and family.

I'm not this type of this person. I'm shy. I can't do that in the public before the public . But some young lovers like having PDA(public display of affection).Peopl of this kind are mad-minded. Most people will not do that. If you ask your friends whether they will do PDA, you will find the result.Is it right?

I dont like the type that would kiss anywhere or in public but i like the way that he will hold my hands to show in public that she's with me or she's mine. But i dont agree in kissing in public like the others do. I think kissing must be done when the two of you are alone.

well personally, I love being hug by my hubby anywhere, like he puts his hands on my shoulder whenever we go to the mall or anywhere else and i love it when my hubby hold my hands - for me it lifts me up and i really feel that I am being loved...BUT to the point that we'll do french kissing and hold any sensitive part of the body - I will never let it happen...it is something private for me... This is just my p.o.v

There is nothing wrong with showing affection in public. We do it all the time. My hubby was a bit shy at first but that never stopped me. I'm always up for a little smooch and a cuddle. We always hold hands in public. We even hold hands while we are walking the dogs. It gets a bit uncomfortable when the dogs are pulling in two different directions. Makes it hard to keep holding hands!! I love my hubby and I am not embarrassed to show it.

I am not type of that girl, because i do have my respect for myself.Here in our country people are conservative so we put things in a moral way because it is not good to be public diplay of affection because younger ones can do that also or follow you in an early age.I am a shy type of a person.

Affection is a very private matter. Why display it in public? Show your affection in private when you are alone or in a small group of near and dear ones.Why a public show? While some public display of affection(PDA) may be genuine, I feel a lot of PDA borders on exhibitionism, just trying to show off.

Love and affection comes from the heart. It is not necessary to show it in public. World is changing and also people perception of the meaning of love and affection changed. You cannot blame anybody. It is a cultural revolution. Our grand father would not do such a things because their time was different and their method of living was different.
