To find it awkward when people coo over us kissing

[Baobuns]

My boyfriend was with some friends, I went and met them after work.

Stop sucking face in public then. It’s gross.

Are you sure they weren’t actually thinking, keep it to yourself? Were you snogging in front of his friends?

Ugh, I’d actually hate it if a couple we were out with did that.

Oops! They were at a bar and so my partner came up and gave me a kiss to greet me, just a quick peck and a hug.
The friends were watching and going 'aww!! Soo cute!!"
It happened again today with a male friend of his, he watched us kiss when I arrived to meet them and went 'aww, bless"

I'm just quite shy and self conscious and feel embarrassed when they do it. I know it's them being nice.
Aibu?

And what did you do? Peck on the cheek or full on snog?

We literally hugged and quickly kissed. Not face sucking,i wouldn't do that

How long have you been together?

I think people replied before i posted the next bit

A few years now

Better than them shouting 'get a room' I guess

We're not snogging or making out or whatever. I do feel shy even kissing in front of other people, I hate the thought of being watched

Well don’t do it then, how weird

Then don’t kiss hello.

I’d hate doing that to an audience, too. So I don’t. I save it for when we’re alone.

How hard is it….?

Stealth boast and a non problem. ?

erm okay then.

Just tell your boyfriend that it bothers you and you don't want to kiss in front of people.

You’ll grow out of it. Most teenagers do.

I think a hello kiss is fine. Ignore them!

Of course it is! I hello kiss loads of people! Some strange and unnecessarily snarky comments on here.
Greeting a loved one with a hug and kiss is very normal and unremarkable. That said, if your BFs friends are annoying, OP, you have the option of ignoring it or not kidding.
I'd ignore it, personally.

*not kissing.

Don't kiss on the lips then. You can't control what others do you can only control yourself.

Aww how old are you? 17? 18? You'll grow out of it.

This sounds like a problem from the Cathy and Claire problem page in Jackie. 👵🏻
What a complete non issue.

They were in a pub drinking before you turned up. I'd suspect your bf was talking about you as a couple and being a bit loved up/mushy and they were reacting to that.

You sound very young. If you don’t like to kiss, then don’t. Simple.
