Unless you aren't that type of person which is also ok.

I agree. Some folks aren't as into physical contact as others...a long-lasting relationship means finding how each person "communicates love and affection". We are fortunate in that our "language" is pretty similar.

My SO and I are touchy feelie but we don't make out in public, maybe a peck. Touching and holding hands, absolutely. A hand on the back as we walk along, that too.

I like it.
This. We're both pretty affectionate with each other, even in public. However we know where to draw the line. I don't think I've ever even sat in his lap. We'll share quick kisses in public and save the making out for private. Like someone else said, we keep it PG rated.

There's got to be some reason to go.
OMG filihok. I think that is the first time I have laughed at one of your posts..... You are usually questioning something about my opinion....

too funny.

I doubt that I question your opinion. I'm much more likely to question the application of your opinion to a subject or to question the logic behind your opinion.

Me and my sweetie are one of those couples you speak of. But, we conduct ourselves respectfully in public and only hold hands and do quick pecks on the lips. But, at home....well, all bets are off!

I'm no prude, but do you not think that kind of behaviour is a bit inappropriate for a church service?

I'm not opposed to PDA's, but to those who do it constantly, get a room. I'm not jealous or anything, I'm not the type to constantly have to affirm how much I love somebody.

Call me a grumpy old (at heart) man, but what do you think of folks like this? Are you one yourself?
I think it's a great thing to find someone who shows affection like this. I would rather have someone of the opposite sex touching me a lot to show thier love rather than them only showing affection once every month. I never understood people who are distant or don't like affection when you chose to be in a relationship with someone.

PDA is disgusting, nobody is interested to see it. That kind of thing should only be done with doors closed.

Coming from a country where "excessive" PDA is illegal, it's refereshing to see young couples holding hands and hugging. As long as they aren't trying to stick their tongues down each others throats, it's fine by me.
