I guess I should clarify my answer... It's easier to accept PDA when you have someone that wants to hold your hand, give kisses, etc... now that I don't have that, I just get jealous when I see people that want to share their love for each other with everyone.

I am not much for public displays of affection...and for that matter I obviously was not much for private displays of affection either...maybe I just have not found the person I want to display with?

*hmm, wonders what....nah, but she is hawt*

I don't like anything related to love these days...just reminds me of what I don't have. I could be a island these days...yep...I could.

? Are you all electronic geeks, or something?

< ---- was told to "get a room" at the sports bar this past weekend with my BF.

Pffft

Jealous bartender

I'm sure my ex fiancee is getting very public with whatever skank he is with now. He was very touchy and kissy when we were together. I hate PDA now. To be fair, I don't know if he is with another woman now but, he sure isn't with me!

I liked PDA. I like to hold hands, walk arm in arm, and don't mind kissing in public. I'm not for much further (get a room), unless it can be done discreetly and then the naughtiness of it all is kind of a turn on.

Like Hikerchic's unwelcome church encounter, if done so no one else would know.. would be so naughty.

My STBX was cold in public. I couldn't even get her to hold my hand.

Kat - that's the worst isn't it? My stbx was vey affectionate in public at the beginning of our marriage... I had complete strangers comment on how happy we looked together. I guess it just goes to show you can't know what goes on behind closed doors :(

now all I have to look forward to is hoping my doggie looks at me with love :)

< - - - - has been known to shout "Get a ROOM!" :)

It's to taunt the people who are not in relationships. It's all strategy if you think about it.

There is the PDA that my EX H used to do - never when we were alone. Always made me feel like 'hey guys, look at my hot wife. aren't you jealous?'

Then there is the PDA that I have now, with my man, that is genuine affection, that says, 'I don't care where we are, I just want to touch you.'

Now, he asked me if it bothered me? 'Nahhhh, no problem,' as I leaned over and gave him a kiss in the grocery store.

I think it's the KIND of PDA, you see? My affection for my man is not a show to anyone - it's how I feel for him.

If I am watching someone else and get the impression that they are just putting on some kind of movie and they feel they have the starring role? Now, for me? That is the turn off.

(((((mavsie))))PDA style :)

I agree I love to hold hands and kiss and look into my partners eyes. I am a true romantic at heart and YES I do like PDA. But only a short kiss, nothing long so that everyone can watch me and the woman I am with. Love the touch of a woman on my hand or skin...
But no I do not get carried away and do respect others. And if there are small children around... Hand in hand only !!! :P

Mav's, thanks for recognizing my point. I don't have any pets and the plants that I had and loved, are now dry leaves dropping one by one into a pile of a pool of death. Like my heart. I know, that's some negative shit coming from me and I know, blah blah blah, it will get better with time. I'll keep popping prozac until when?

Back to PDA, I was a loving woman. I never made lude gestures in public with my fiancee but, whenever or wherever we were, I would walk up to him and touch his face and looked into his eyes and would tell him how glad I was that he was in my life. He would bent down and kiss me. Or, I would walk up to him from behind, and wrap my arms around him and kiss him in the middle of his back. Now, I just get to my place and lay on my couch until its time to get ready for bed.

This whole conversation is making me nauseous.
