We're basically glued to each other in public. At one point, I had to stop my boyfriend from nibbling at my neck in a mall xD I mean, that was just an overkill. Normally we do kiss, but it's mostly just a peck or two on the lips. I never really thought displays of affection were anything gross, even when I saw strangers passionately kissing right in front of me. The one thing that crossed the line for me were two lesbians who were having something between a make out session and foreplay on a bench... in a CHILDREN'S AMUSEMENT PARK. I'm not saying it's bad because they're lesbians, I'm saying they were basically groping each other's breasts and eating each other's face out and

I like PDA but I'm not the biggest fan of hand holding. And even still it's not like a constant need attention need affection thing with me, it's just like a nice thing to do. I think it's crap if you're with someone and they care more about upsetting a bunch of random strangers by being in the moment with you to kiss you if they want to. If a person doesn't want to show affection with me in public it shows they're insecure and ashamed and that's bullshit and annoying.
We don't snog each other's faces off and we don't always hold hands. When we're having a laugh, we may give each other a peck on the lips. I cuddle into him when we're waiting in a queue or something. I don't think there's anything majorly wrong with public displays of affection as long as it doesn't make people uncomfortable around you, but that doesn't include someone saying it offends their religion. I'm atheist, idc.
We hold hands and skip and giggle and run around like airplanes and laugh and hang on each other like we're 15 and have been dating for 2 weeks. We're 19/21 and have been together for 3 years. We don't suck each other's tonsils but we do give quick kisses.
I don't mind holding my girlfriend's hand in public, even in the busy streets of Times Square. Hey! She's my girlfriend and I'm proud of her being my girlfriend. There's nothing to be ashamed of with the women I chose because she's glorious. When it comes to kissing, it depends. A quick smooch on the lips is fine anywhere. But a passionate kiss lasting longer than half a second is reserved for when we're alone because its a more intimate thing I'd rather not show to the public.
Of course...

I don't see anything wrong with holding your partner's hand or kissing them in public. I would encourage it, for sure. The only reservation I have is when it's an area likely to be filled with kids (like a kid's park); they don't need to see you sticking your tongue someone else's throat!
i think holding hands and/or kissing in public is fine, but when it comes to kissing, id rather it not be a full make out sesh-.-
I would like it a lot if he didn't mind us doing such things. Maybe a peck on the lips and holding hands? With my previous partners I did..
I really like holding hands and kissing/pecking in public.. Any further then that.. It will be left behind closed doorsMy boyfriend holds me around the waist if we're walking a short distance, we hold hands if we're walking pretty far, and we kiss goodbye in public, but it's mainly just a peck. We don't make out or feel each other up, though (we save that for empty movie theatres ;) )
xxVoted C because it's a definite YES, we aren't teenagers, early 40's though we are in love and in no way I'd want to make her feel like I'm ashamed or something along those lines.
Public display of affection expressed with some etiquette is sweet.
Now for those who would disagree I sugest to you that you haven't experienced being in love 😀I believe this is called Public Display of Affection? If you guys are a good looking couple sure, but not to be mean, when ugly couples do it it's really awkward especially like at the mall during shopping season.
I mean I've done far worse things in "public" but at least we covered it up the best we could and never got caught (well almost at the beach by patrol car but we dodged that one xD I don't know what age of consent is here but we were well under it lmaoI'm not opposed to doing either in public, I just don't typically. PDAs (Public Displays of Affection) aren't a big thing in my culture. All in all, I wouldn't refuse holding hands/kissing in public (I have done it, and even initiated it multiple times before), but it's not the norm.
we do hold hands pretty often and occasionally we kiss, we don't makeout though, it's just a little peck on the lips or head or cheek. it also depends where we are. we don't do it around friends usually but we will do it when it's just the two of us. :)
i don't have any problem to hold hands and kiss in public, i don't really care what people think about me and my gf... i don't see anything wrong with that, people do worse things in public places such like wearing a t shirt the snooki's face on it :/
I prefer holding hands more and pretty much kissing when I first see them or when it's time to leave. Occasionally it happens throughout the day but yeah that's just my preference until we're alone. The ones who make out really hardcore in public though? Damn, I don't wanna see that shit.
Kissing is fine it's just snogging a ridiculous amount, a quick peck is fine but don't play tonsil tennis. Holding hands is also fine, little kids hold their parents hand cause they dint wanna get lost, don't lose ur partner they will never forgive you
Usaully the girl really decides what we do in public but i like holding hands the most so guys know she is with me and so girls know that i am with her even some people don't get the hint so when she sees a girl try to talk she me my girls comes and kisses me like marky her territory and i do the same thing to kinda.
We've been married almost ten years and we still hold hands and kiss, but even early on, I was mindful of where I was. I think it's awesome to remain affectionate, but be thoughtful about those around you. Not everyone wants a show. >.>'
We usually hold hands, and we give each other a peck here and there, sometimes a kiss on the cheek. Sometimes he puts his arm around me.
Though, usually if we are shopping we are too busy to hold hands.I've definitely 'made out' with girlfriends in public in the past. I don't care if other people like it or not. I suppose the state of perpetual misery, bitterness and judgement is what most people would prefer.
I and my boyfriend hold hands of each other among the public. It isn't rude. Why do u think so? As for me, I feel safe, protected and taken care when my boyfriend holds my hand. I think most of the girls will be the same. Try it.
Holding hands is totally acceptable in public. When it comes to kissing, a smack on the lips and a peck in the cheek is appropriate. You don't want to see couples french kissing or having the prolonged kiss in public, that's just awkward.
He loves to hold my hand and kiss me in public, but not really making out unless there isn't anyone else around. I just love the fact he isn't afraid to show that he loves me in public after being treated like trash by most guys up until I met him.
I hold hands with and kiss my girlfriend in public (obviously not in super public places, like a grocery store or something like that, haha) and we do cool it down in places where kids are running around.
We hold hands in public and if we kiss, usually it's just a peck. We don't make out in public because I think it's gross when other people do it
