Shy men and PDA? Affection? Etc?

[Anonymous]

Shy men. Do you do PDA? How do you normally show affection for your gf? How long into a relationship does it take for you to be comfortable to show affection?

Back in the days when I was really shy I wouldn't do any PDA. Because shy people don't do that.

Even though I'm no longer shy I don't feel comfortable with PDA because I feel that is a thing between me and her and not something I need to broadcast to the world. Doesn't mean that you have to be totally cold and distant either, there is a middle way.

So no hand holding or your hand on her back?

I don't consider hand holding to be that much of PDA. But back when I was shy I wouldn't feel comfortable even with that.

I don't do much PDA, sure an occasional kiss on the lips goodbye/greeting but that's about it other than holding hands. I personally don't want everyone to know how affectionate I am with my gf, I leave that when it's just her and I. So I always show affection, but never much of PDA.

Ok. Thanks! That does help.

No problem!

What type of shy are you talking about? Those that are shy with others who they don't know well probably wouldn't have a problem with PDA. Others that aren't shy may be hesitant to show affection in front of others too.

Shy around people they don't know well.. I guess.
