well, i used to be one of those shy ones wen it came to PDA. but a couple of months ago, i realised that life is too short to bother about wat other ppl think. n i love my boyfriend too much to even care about others. so now if i want to hold his hand or even kiss him in public, i will go ahead n do so. :D

yes, and i used to be that way too. but, as what you've said, why think of other people.. right? this is a free world and you can do whatever you wanna do with your boyfriend, the important thing is that, the love and respect and the trust you give with each other...

it's not bad to show your affection in public just don't over do it and see to it that the respect is still there..

I don't see anything wrong with showing affection for the person you care about in public. I often give my fiancee a hug or a kiss in public. Occasionally I will even allow him to hold my hand or put his arm around me as we walk. I personally think that there are some that show to much public affection at times. Its as if they are making love in the middle of the sidewalk and all. There is a time and place for everything.

We might kiss When we are alone When nobody's watching We might take it home We might make out When nobody's there It's not that we're scared It's just that it's delicate Those are lyrics from a song from Damien Rice, which pretty much sums up how I feel about PDA. While I don't find anything wrong about when I see someone kissing in the supermarket lane on front of me or on a train or bus and such, I prefer not to because I think there's a place for everything.. I sometimes feel like it cheapens the relationship if we stand there and kiss everywhere. Though I'm not really the type to "show" everyone how in love I am.. he needs to know, and I need to know. I like it like that. The only sort of PDA we do is hold hands, hug, he might kiss the back of my neck or rest his chin on my head (Lol) while behind me. Kissing and that, that's for when it just him, and it's just me.

My boyfriend is very very showy of his feelings, even when we're in public places. I don't mind it when he holds my hand or gives me a peck in the cheek or when he gives me quick hugs. Those are natural, in my opinion, because we are in a relationship. Anything beyond that though is something that I cannot tolerate. Even if we are a couple, there's still a thing that we call "delicacy". Privacy and respect for your partner also plays a part here. With too much PDA, it's like your partner doesn't really show you that much respect..it's like you're a loose person so it's okay to do those things to you in public. ^_^

i have no problems with displaying affections in public. just as long as it's still decent enough for the viewing public to manage, then it's fine with me. what's worse is seeing people almost making out in public, that's scandalous. eww... just go to a motel, your house or something....

yes, and i believe that there is a right place for everything.. you can display affection in public but limit yourselves, not all actions done are good to be seen by people around you..
