    Kissing = Just a kiss on the mouth
    Making out = with tongue.

    I love doing it because I always imagine that everyone nearby is jealous of me :lol:


    Can't say I'm a big fan of watching it though so basically, I'm a hypocrit.

    I say if you're in love show it. Turn your head if you don't want to see. :)

    The problem is there are people who overdo it. I was in line to see Dark Knight at the IMAX and there was this couple who wouldn't stop throughout the line. And even during the trailers and a little bit of the film they were going at it (unluckily they chose to sit near me).

    Holding hands is fine and a kiss or hug, but I don't need to see a session....

    Nah it's alright.
    As long as they don't do it to the point where you can't talk to them and so on. I mean in terms of friends of course.

    I'm not completely against it. I just expect my friends not to ignore me while I'm talking to them just because they are sucking someone's face.

    If you are low key about it, I'm cool with it.

    Also, how do people hard core make out? Like, not actually HOW, but...with me and Josh, making out ALWAYS leads to more. It always has.

    Aren't these people that are sucking faces getting really turned on in public? :blink:

    It is nice to see people in love, but it's also nice to get a room. :lol:

    I don't mind it that much, though.

    I hate it. it's gross on tv and it's gross on the streets. I try not to get steamed about it but it's hard, and it doesn't help when friends do it near you. Do people have to roll around on picnic tables? And you can't just turn away when you can hear them.
    I know they like to amplifiy the sucking noises in the movies, so when I was younger, when a big scene came up I put my hands over my ears and hummed because it was so annoying.

    I don't have issues. Seriously. >_>;

    Please explain? :>

    I don't know... I have been on both sides of the it... I've had a relationship with a lot of PDA, and one the one I'm currently in has basically none. We hold hands and little kisses but its nothing over the top.

    I never noticed what other people might be thinking of me during the PDA filled relationship because I didn't care about those around me, only the one with me.

    But in todays relationship I recognize that PDA draws attention to you and usually negative. I don't feel the need to make up with my girlfriend in public... for whatever reason...

    Please take no offense to this, but I think the amount of PDA in a relationship reflects the amount of maturity. I will admit the girl I was publicly active with, I more of lusted her and was more about having fun... but now with my girlfriend, I am more about a serious and long relationship. I'm not saying that PDA makes you a whore, I just think it means that your relationship is less mature and serious then a couple who just walks around holding hands.

    I mean, look at older couples who have been together forever for example. You don't see over the top PDA from them. Assuming they are not cranky lol, they are usually just cute, hand holding couple, where as when you look at younger kids, they are typically the more PDA involved people. I don't think an individual is either pernamently for or against PDA, I think it is something that people grow out of as they mature. I think people who say they dislike it but still do it are in the process of evolving out of it and moving on to a more serious mature relationship.

    This is all opinion based though and I don't mean to offend anyone, its just my theory.
