Holding hands in public, scandalous or sweet?

I think it's sweet. kissing is sweet too, unless it's that face eating kind. but a kiss on the lips is cute. I tend to find it especially sweet if it's a Gay couple too, as it's quite brave to be so open when so many people are so horrible about it.

Holding hands in public are very sweet...I wish to see it more often that I am able to see it so far....hmm…maybe I am blind… I wish someone wants to hold mine....I am always with less romantic guys.... Help! Where did my romance go?

I think holding hands in public is great. My husband and I do it all of the time and I see many couples doing it. I don't see a darn thing wrong with it. In fact, I think MORE couples should do it. I believe it is the small things - like hand holding - that help keep a relationship between two people strong.

I love seeing people hold hands in public, I think it's adorable and sweet. I know I hold hands with my husband a lot when we're out! Most of the times people say it's cute that we still hold hands even though we've been together for years, but I have heard people saying it was too intimate. I think that's a weird and silly way of looking at it. Personally I agree with your idea of the problem with people who complain about holding hands. =p

There is a huge difference between a couple holding hands and a couple that's making out on the street. I think holding hands is endearing and sweet, especially when I see an elderly couple still holding hands after many years. I like when my husband holds my hand when we are out, it gives me a sense of belonging.

I guess it depends on the culture. There are some ultra-conservative cultures that condemn holding hands, and there are cultures who don't, especially in the west, wherein people who are just out on a date and not in a serious relationship hold hands as a sign of affection. Personally, I think holding hands in public is romantic and sweet, especially if you're doing it with someone you genuinely care for.

I think holding hands is romantic. I think any couple should be able to walk down the street hand in hand without being harassed.

I really don't see any problem in holding hands in public because all it does is show people that you are committed to the other person, it's the most innocent form of public display that you are together, it should not be seen as scandalous or anything of the kind, i can think of a lot worse that goes on. Carry on I say!

I think holding hands in public is very sweet. When I see a couple holding hands it makes me smile. It shows that they are happy together.

I think it is sweet. I see many older couples, ones in there 70's-80's, walking around holding hand and I think it is so romantic. Although I have heard other people make a comment like they are only doing that so they don't get lost or other such silly talk. I think it is a good way to keep a litle spark of romance alive.

Sometimes my husband and I hold hands in public. We don't do it on a regular basis, but we do. I don't think it is bad. I think it is so sweet to see it. It makes me think that those couples are truly happy with each other. I especially like the older couples holding hands, I know that they have been through the wringer with each other and after all the went through, they still have enough love to show their affection.

its sweet for me.

next time you see the get-a-room kind of people you should punch them in the face... and yes, you can tell them that is from my part:P

why should people care about that? why don't they grab a partner and do more than holding hands in public.. hahaha

for me no..its only a gesture that you really like the person! you can hold hands with your friends and it does not imply anything except that just best friends! maybe its how people interpret such acts ..

there is nothing wrong with holding hands. i think it's sweet

Hi silvernutbar. I think that public displays of affection are not only beautiful but an essential part of any relationship. Beautiful because you love each other enough to show the world and essential because I think it's the little things like hand holding that really tells your significant other just how much you love and care for them. Oh by the way...I would hold your hand any day. love ya much...have a nice day=)

My fiance and I have been together for three years and still hold hands. he is the first I ever have and its nice because you don't see it anymore and its a shame. -Lora

I completely agree. My husband and I have our arms around each other or give each other kisses... sometime he even pinches my butt in public.

I think holding hands is sweet and not at all scandalous. I mean, I could see if a couple were playing tonsil hockey on the street or something, but holding hands doesn't put anything in anyones face and I think it is a shame that it has gotten to be such an unfamiliar occurence.
