Me and my boyfriend always hold hands and give quick pecks in public, but some people I have seen dont even touch eachother when their in public and you could barely tell they were couples. What do you think of PDA? How much is too much?

I think holdings hands while walking is ok. But having a french kiss in a public places is big no no for me. I think we should also look after our own privacy. We can show our own sweetness to our love one in a much better way than doing some PDA or public display of affection....

of course, making out just isnt right in public. Some people are very sensitive about PDA. My teachers at school will tell people who are hugging to stop. But I find hugs are alright..anything past a hug and a peck is a bit to much.

Hi, I feel holding hands in public is ok but apart from that anything else is not acceptable in the public. It looks awkward for the onlookers. You have to maintain the privacy of your life for yourself and not in the open public. It might embarass the onlookers. It is better and advisable to do whatever you want to do in privacy but not in the public. That will be decent enough than displaying your love in public.

I really hate seeing couples who do public display of affection. Maybe a quick kiss or holding hands in public is ok but being too intimate is too much! Couples don't do more than that if they respect each other.

Fiancee and I can only hug and hold hands in public. Kissing and other things are only done when we are the two of us only but we can kiss when swimming or out at night when nobody is staring at us.

My husband has never been much for PDA's. I remember taking his hand when we were walking across a parking lot in our very, very early days together and I could tell he was uncomfortable by it. He was quite the playboy though so I think it was more of a matter that he didn't want anyone to see him and think he was "tied down". LOL! We go for walks together and occasionally he will hold my hand or I will grab onto his arm if it's chilly. The only time he ever kisses me in public, believe it or not, is in church. When we give each other the sign of peace we kiss each other. It was something I started when we were visiting his family for a family reunion. They had a mass and I was just trying to prove something to the naysayers. We have been doing it with each other and with our children ever since. I noticed his mother does it and other families do too. I love seeing couples holding hands, especially older couples. Makes me hope that it will be us some day. And a quick kiss is okay too. Otherwise, get a room.

I think hugging,holding hands and kissing in public are fine. No full fledge making out though that can wait until your alone.

Publice display is the best thing in the world, young or old. Nothing more romantic than your man holding your hand in public, letting the world know how much he loves you.

Me and my husband hold hands and every now and thena quick peck. He does NOT like PDA at all so that's all we do. I think it's wayyy to much when people are just sitting there rubbing all over each other and making out like crazy. That right there drives me crazy.
