To think it's quite nice to see people hugging and kissing in public?

I don't mean full on simulated sex or 'get a room' style necking but I always think it's lovely to see people being affectionate, hugging & kissing.

Just had a debate with my friend about this and she says she really doesn't like it as it makes her feel uncomfortable.

I love it when old couples hold hands.

JudysJudgement · 24/06/2011 15:59

as long as they are attractive

pretty ghastly when they arent :)

Not keen on snogging but love seeing old couples holding hands, giving each other a kiss or being generally affectionate.

Makes me hopeful! :)

I only get to see DH about once evry 6 or 7 weeks, so you can be sure that even if we are just going to the grocery store, we'd be holding hands Grin

Bah humbug.......

As long as I can't see anyone's tongue then I think it's fine. Doesn't necessarily make me go "ahhh" but it's fine.

Men taking home flowers makes me go "ahhhh".

Dh and I do hold hands & kiss in public (not full-on slurpy snogging) Grin Dd hates it but having been in a relationship where affection was non-existent I wouldn't have it any other way!

RightUpMyRue · 24/06/2011 16:51

I'm with Judy on this one- if they're hideous I'd rather not see them out in public at all let alone with another fugly and touching

ZillionChocolate · 24/06/2011 19:00

Hate public snogging. Hand holding is lovely.

TidyDancer · 24/06/2011 19:04

Hand holding and nice little kisses are okay, but full on snogging is icky to watch.

Fleurdebleurgh · 24/06/2011 19:24

I dislike all public displays of affection.

You are grown ups not teenagers.

JamieAgain · 24/06/2011 20:02

lots of little smacky kisses are horrible too. I was forced to witness a whole series of these on the bus the other day. Eeew

NO SNOGGING IN PUBLIC. It should be banned.

Holding hands, polite close-mouthed kisses, hugs sans groping = acceptable in moderation.
