As much as I may be embarrassed by certain spontaneous displays, that is a personal problem. The only people I've ever known to actually complain about it were either school officials or someone who was jealous (either of an "offending" party member or of their state of bliss) or both. My general response to those people is: Cope! I imagine that someone who grew up in an enviroment where physical affection is common wouls be less likely to have any qualms about it.

A friend of mine said one major reason she broke up with her boyfriend was for 'little' things: he stopped saying he loved her, he wouldn't hold her hand in public, and so on. I hold my ladyfriend's hand in public...it's always struck me as a pretty cool gesture: just another small way to say you care about someone a lot. Kissing or hugging in public is also fine with me:) And I also: ***HOLD DOORS*** for her...(bringing back a dead, buried, gone and better off forgotten subject:) )--she seems to like it. Anybody else wanna share their ideas of what makes a PDA?

PDA? :-) It took me a while before I would feel comfortable about it. But even now I still feel some modesty about giving my SO a kiss in a public place, but I dont mind if it was subtle and if it was not in a very crowded place. Hand holding I dont mind and I welcome it from him always. To me it shows that special bond we have. :-) Sometimes I'll wrap my arm around my waste if it was convenient. :-) And I really dont mind hugging in public either. :-) Well, that's what I think of PDA :-D -- Eva Chan spacey@bu-pub.bu.edu (e-mail is always appreciated) Cheers! And may you enjoy life!

Kissing >or hugging in public is also fine with me:) My romantic partner and I do this quite often, as a matter of fact it is hard to keep us from not holding hands and stealing kisses. We often say later how we made so and so sick from our PDA. I usually smile and say "Yes, I know...Terrible wasn't it.." and laugh. I think if your are not all over eachother like a 'Cheap Suit' and be as tasteful as possible you should be fine, and if you make others stare it is because they are probably lonely or they are just not used to it, but I find that hard to believe in todays society. > >And I also: ***HOLD DOORS*** for her...(bringing back a dead, buried, gone and >better off forgotten subject:) )--she seems to like it. I try to hold the door open for anyone if there are people coming in the door right behind me and I reach it first I automaticaly hold it. This action really dumbfounded my romantic partner when we first met as she was not used to such treatment. She loves it alot. -=TheEvilOne =============================================================================== === ========= ======================= Dave Nye, a.k.a. -=TheEvilOne = === ========= ======================= dnye@bbn.com The Evil Empire = === === === ===== dnye%bbn.com@relay.cs.net = === === === === === === ===== ...!harvard!bbn!dnye = === === === === === === ===== BBN, Inc., Cambridge, Mass. = === === === === =Inc= Employers computer, MY opinion.. = ===============================================================================
