I find it inconsiderate and rude for couples to cuddle and kiss (holding hands & pecks are fine) around singles. It's like .. Get a room please. It makes me want to leave the area--boring.

I prefer the times where couples wouldn't keep to themselves so much.

awkward turtle

My friend and her boyfriend came to my house for a bit. I was talking to them when she suddenly leaned in and frenched him for a minute or so. There was this awkward silence in the room and I was just sitting there with my laptop trying to find something to do.

Holding hands and pecks are fine, I'm fine with that. But when they are all lovely dovey (cuddly, frenching) on each other when theres anotehr person in the room, that makes thigns awkward

Yeah, it's pretty obnoxious.

DAMN YOU JOHN LEGEND

I don't see anything wrong with holding hands and peck kissing in front of other people. I'm not going to stop showing my boyfriend minimal affection just because you're single.

I've seen some pretty bad PDAs too...makes me cringe when I walk by couples feeling each other up in the halls.

okay i agree with this, i feel extremely awkward when it happens too. i think out of respect i wouldn't molest my gf in front of others. it's just impolite, single or not. I just don't like doing that kind of pda (which to us guys leans more toward meaning personal digital assistants... but i guess she could be that too).

but loveetrish i voluntarily volunteer to keep you company while your friends are making out.

+1

yes yes frenching your bf in front of anyone shouldn't be okay whether those people are single or not
what's your opinion on love taps? lol playful slap on the butt ... not groping ... u kno?
i think its cute and don't mind love taps, holding hands and a quick peck hello and good bye

Some people are a bit over the top or in other words, shameless.

but... there isn't much we can do about it. Just deal with it. lol

Sounds like the beginning of a porno I watched last night.

PDAAA WE JUST DON'T CAREEEEEE LOL AHAHAHAA.

I'm friends with this couple that PDAs A LOT. A lot of people who are friends with them are uncomfortable with them whenever they're around them because they make out all the time. It's really awkward when you're talking to someone, and then they suddenly start making out with their s/o from out of nowhere. Yes, pecks, hugs, and holding hands are cute, but not something over the limit like making out in front of your friends and being all over each other in public. That should be done in private.

if i'm with my boyfriend and just ONE other person who's single, then yeah... we won't be so rude as to start making out or having our own little world
but if i'm with my bf and just ONE other person, who is in a relationship or just more than 1 person, I'll be a bit more touchy, b/c it's my way of letting them know that I wouldn't mind them doing that either

i like pdaing with my boyfriend.
we'll hug, hold hands, kiss.
put my hand in his butt pocket.
or slap his butt every so often.. lols.

but we won't.. french or go overboard.
pda to some extent is okay.
as long as there's no dry humping involved.


and yeah. it's awkward if it's just you and this couple.
it's bad enough you feel like the third wheel..
lols.

i think cuddling is fine.
but yeah, making out and kissing like hell is annoying and should be done in private.

Holding hands, cuddling, pecks and hugs are fine, I used to do it with my ex around our friends, but I feel extremely uncomfortable if my friends are making out with their boyfriends right next to me or just being really touchy with each other. I guess it would be fine if we're a big group of people out partying somewhere but if not then I feel annoyed at how couples can just do that openly in front of everybody and turn the atmosphere awkward with their make-out fest. I just don't want to be around couples that do overboard of PDA, rather than ME having to leave shouldn't it be the two of you going to the bathroom or somewhere private, lol. Why go out to meet people if you're gonna be in your own little world anyway?

This is why I never hang out with couples by myself, I always make sure I have 2 or 3 other friends with me.

Kisses, holding hands and cuddles I can put up with, but the moment things start going past first base then it's just annoying... get a room!

Oh I knowww, esp. when you're in a group of people and they start PDA-ing all over lol. Holding hands, a peck on the lips/cheeks is fine, but when you start making out and getting all over each other, then it's really just kind of gross.

I don't understand what's wrong with cuddling. Cuddling in itself doesn't involve anything inappropriate like groping.

I can understand some people not liking to see extreme PDA, but some people are just plain bitter about it. The MAJORITY of couples I see are not making out in the middle of a public place.
Even so, once in Target I pecked my boyfriend on the lips and some old hag was like "GET A ROOM." I was like... no? because this does not require a room?

Yes to Cuddling and pecking.

No to frenching and groping.
It's um, too explicit/sensual for public.

it's not only awkward for singles, it's akward for people with boyfriends\girlfriends too.
i guess it's just uncomfortable to watch people pda-ing o_o
makes you feel like you're interrupting xD

Woah, hold on, wait a minute.
Not only singles are disgusted at the sight of PDA, but same goes for other couple. Why do you guys have to broadcast your affection in public? When you're with a your other friends and all you do is swapping saliva, why even bother being there with your friends?

She said peck kissing and holding hands, basically the lowest possible denominator for public displays of affection. No idea why you're so pointedly asking her about swapping saliva or broadcasting affection, neither of which she's really advocating.

My bf and I aren't fans of PDA either.

Holding hands and peck kisses are fine but when we're aournd people we try to keep it to a minimum. I remember when my best friend got a boyfriend, whenever we would hang out together with a group of friend, her boyfriend and her would be almost attached to each other and whispering, making everyone felt like we were disturbing them.

Imo, it's not just about kisses or holding hands, it's about how you interact with people around you when you are with your boyfriend/girlfriend. If you are just going to ignore everyone else and stay in your corner with your boyfriend/girlfriend even if you are just holding hands and barely kissing, well you shouldn't be hanging out with people if you are just to be asocial with everyone else. XD

I think frenching is more a private kind of thing xD I actually think it's cooler when couples know how to control themselves in public.

LOL.

But then those couples can't keep themselves off each other =X
So if you're uncomfortable about it, get out of there.

I do think it's really awkward for someone to full out be making out and groping eachother in front of others. I can't even do that with my bf. I'd feel way too uncomfortable with being the center of attention. It's hard to miss a couple that are making out in public.

I don't mind couples that give eachother light pecks and hand holding. It's actually kind of cute.

Like xxmeow said it's an awkward situation for both sides. No massive PDA in front of a single friend or group of friends or even in public for me. That isn't an outdoorsy sport for me.

holding hands, peckign and cuddling in public is fine.
but making out and groping is just plain inappropriate.

makes mad ppl uncomfortable where we have to avert our eyes, or pretend to be texting or sumthing. >_<

I don't mind either way.
Me and my boyfriend show lots of PDA but we don't make out or feel each other up. o.o

I would french the OP in public for a minute or two.

I don't mind if couples PDA once or twice but it gets annoying when I see it everyday, every time I see them.
I know this guy who would literally have a full blown make out session with his girlfriend EVERYWHERE.
It doesn't help it that he's so overly annoying. -__-

My ex used to peck my cheeks when we stated dating and I felt uncomfortable because we were with my friends.

Yeah I know what you mean. I would never do anything other than holding hands/hug/simple peck with my boyfriend in public. Its just rude and inconsiderate.

haha i have absolutely no problems with couples kissing each other (french even) as long as they dont fully start making out and feeling each other up. Not because I'm single, it's because it is awkward, to stand there, I feel like I was invading their privacy.

Peopl @ my school always like holding eachother for like3 minutes. It's rpetty annoying because they just hug and stand there. I think it's cause they want to show off, but it gets pretty annoying after you see them everyday while walking to Spanish class. =__=

I'm ok w/ holding hands and pecks, but making out and holding for 3minutes-in-passing-period-which-is-only-6-minutes is annoying to see everyday. :3

I'm like this too! I'm just not comfortable with showing PDA to the public because when I was single, I felt extremely jealous to those who held hands/pecked a lot when I;m talking to them. Well, not even jealous, but also disrespected because it's like you can't even put your attention on me for like, a minute?

So yeah. But my bf hates that and so we constantly have this argument about PDA and stuff -____-

man, couples who PDA can be really annoying.
i see them EVERYWHERE in the halls. i don't really care if they're holding
hands and all that, but when they're all over each other..it's just disgusting

i don't mind...as long as it's not too extreme

omg once i was shopping at eaton center
this guy and girl were LYING on one of the benches, like it was a bed
n they were hugging each other n totally all over each other, groping n making out n stuff
i REALLY wanted to tell them to get a room
it was SO disturbing! i mean..it was EATON CENTER! at least go somewhere more secluded

haha i will feel awkward too, but if i were you- i will leave them alone and mind my own business.

Whatever. The bf and I cuddle in public like nobody's business. If you don't like it, you don't have to look. Do you?

Carry on.

omg.
i totally agree with u.
it makes me feel awkward, weird and disturbing especially in some public places, even in streets while walking!..
it's like u can't take ur eyes of them cause they're making a scene, that happened to me while in the street, and everyone is looking at them...
i find it inconsiderate and disrespectful to other people.
if they want to cuddle so much and french kiss, maybe they can do it in a more suitable place when no one else is around.

Speaking of PDA, a few days ago my sister and I were just about to leave the mall, when we were outside, guess what we saw?
A couple was making out right IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE OF THE MALL...and it wasn't just french kissing only, neck was involved....

We were like ".... get a room" (in our head of course) lol

I don't mind couples sharing that they care for eachtoher.. but I don't want to see them going at it like crazy..

I think it's okay if you're out with your s.o. and you give each other a peck on the cheeks, however I do not want to see couples going full out make out session sitting on your bf's lap about to take him down PDA, that's just too trashy.

I don't think your friend should've went to your house to make out with her bf.

oh this happened to me. my friend and her now ex were standing there hugging for 10 minutes. i was just like well... i'm going to check out these clothes in that shop over there....

awkward much!

Ahh.. i think PDA should always be kept to a minimum..
it makes things so awkward for everyone else around the couple..

i dislike hanging around a couple who excessively PDA cause.. it just makes me feel like such a third-wheel and awkward.
i mean, holding hands and quick kisses are fine, but if you're literally going to make out, please relocate yourselves.
