Thankfully we are both on the same page. We are NOT into it. My ex was though and didn't respect my PDA boundaries -- it led to some fights, so I'm glad that my FI and I see eye to eye on this one!
I wish FI was more affectionate in public, because it's weird for me when he does not touch me all day/evening and then when we get home it's like WHOMP he's all over me. It's kind of overwhelming.
I would choose other if that was an option.
Me and the DH are on the same page. We hold hands and a little kiss when either of us is leaving. Other than that we don't do anything else.
I guess we are more into PDA in moderation and only if its appropriate for us.
We both display our affection. We don't get too crazy though. We almost always hold hands when we're out, sometimes he puts his arm around me. If we're sitting down in public his arm is always around me. We'll kiss each other on the cheek or give each other light pecks.
We don't just make out in front of the world though!
It depends on where we are...FI would never paw me when he visits me at work or in front of relatives, but there are other places where we are super affectionate.
We are on the same page. I wouldn't say we "like" public affection, but we are confident/ comfortable with expressing ourselves if that comes to pass. We try not to go overboard, but a kiss or something is fine, or a hug.
I can barely get him to kiss me in public, but when we're at home he's always trying to get my clothes off lol! I wish he would be a teensy bit more affectionate as I think it makes me look like an asshole when I give a smooch face in public and he just ignores it. But I've never really given it actual thought until now so it doesn't really bother me.
We are both on the same page that some PDA in modertation is okay. Some light touching here, a quick peck there - we're not big PDA people.
We're both on the same page (: We hold hands, hug, and are comfortable kissing (in moderation) in public. We're comfortable with PDA but we make sure to do it only when it's appropriate.
We definitely limit any PDA, and we're both on the same page about it! We see nothing wrong with a quick kiss on the lips or a hug goodbye... but we're not the hold hands, long kiss in public kinda people.
We're that annoying couple in public- (I apologize should I ever cross your path in real life)
but we know it and make fun of ourselves for it :) We are very touchy, what can I say, and wouldnt have it any other way.
We used to be on slightly different pages.
He was totally anti any public affection (including hand holding or putting his arm around me or even a kiss at midnight at a new years party).
Now he's fine with hand holding, putting his arm around me, and giving me a quick kiss when we go our separate ways at the subway platform.
That's the perfect amount of PDA for me and for him too. Just enough that I know he cares but not anywhere near enough to make others uncomfortable.
I can't stand PDA. We hardly even hold hands in public. We don't feel the need to broadcast our love for each other and we are definitely on the same page about it.
We're kind of on different pages... he's more into PDA than I am. Nothing terrible, but sometimes I think I come off as kind of cold...I don't mind a kiss now and then and I'll certainly hold his hand because it's adorable and I love him... but sometimes he just wants to kiss me WAY too much and I feel awkward. No one wants to see that, right?! I never really know how to bring it up so that I don't sound mean, though. Suggestions??
We hold hands and walk arm in arm but thats about it. The more nervous I get the more touchy feely I get but it is never in the form of kissing, sitting on his lap, etc.
@KatNYC2011: I'm working on getting SO to that point. Did you talk with your man about it, or did he just become more comfortable with it?
At the start of our relationship, I was anti-PDA. I just felt like it was flaunting our relationship, and we were so new that it was awkward. Now that it's been 5 years, I've become more comfortable with the idea. I'm trying to change his habits about it ...I keep telling him that it's ok if people know we like each other... the jig is up! :-)
@ruby26: We talked about it a bit. I asked him why he was so against it. His reason for being so against it was because we had such a good relationship and his friends were single. We hung out a lot with his guy friends and he didn't want to "flaunt" our relationship in front of them. He didn't want them to feel like they were missing out or remind them that they were single.
I paid more attention to when I reached for his hand or arm and it got better. I'd make sure not to do it when just us and one friend, or when around a friend I knew he was concerned about.
Then he started reaching out to me too.
I think it also helped that I made it clear I didn't want to make out in public and that holding my hand wasn't going to lead to a full on make out.
We can never seem to agree lol when we first got together he was all for it and I was like "get away from me" and then over the years I became more comfortable with it and we would hold hands or have a quick hug and a kiss and now the tables have turned, I'm all for it and he's like "get off me" hahaha
@KatNYC2011: Thanks!! I think I'll try to talk to him and figure out his reasons too. All I'm asking for is a little physical contact once in a while when we're out, so I'm hoping we'll make progress like you guys did :-)
We hold hands sometimes (hubs doesn't really like it cuz it feels weird to him), walk arm in arm or with arms around each other, light kisses and hugs in public
I'm all for it, and it's growing on him :).
He used to refuse to kiss me if my mom was around until she said, "Look. She doesn't care, and neither do I. Kiss your wife."
No more issue :).
DH and I aren't into PDA. We don't even hold hands in public--my friends think it's weird.
thankfully we are on the same page. we only hold hands or give a quick peck on the lips in public if one of us is leaving.
@symphony: Hahaha, that was funny about his mom. Sometimes the 'rents still have to crack the whip. :P
Oh, we are on the same page, we hold hands and have quick pecks, walk arm in arm... you know the deal.
I'm so glad we are on the same page. We both are comfortable with a little PDA - hand holding, his arm around me if we are sitting at the movies, little hello and goodbye kisses.
He used to be so ANTI public affection. I don't like a lot, but I do enjoy a little... so it became a bit of a problem for me.
We talked about it, and he's come around quite a bit. He's better in smaller groups of people, but in bigger groups still doesn't like it so much. I am so thankful he was willing to compromise though! :)
PDA is one of my biggest annoyances. My DH and I will hold hands...that's pretty much it. Once in a while if he feels compelled he'll kiss me on the cheek or forehead. His brother and SIL are infamous for groping. making out, etc... in front of everyone. It's disgusting.
I am into it and my bf isn't - he used to not even hold hands in public! He's getting better now but still doesn't like it if I try to kiss him in public (I'm talking a peck, nothing more)
We don't set and make out in front of large groups of people or whatever. But we always Hold hands or my hubby will put his arm/arms around me. And he also gives me lots of cheek and forehead kisses no matter where we are and I love it!

Do you and your FI / spouse share the same views on public displays of affection (holding hands, light touching, light kissing for example)?
If not, how (if at all) does this impact your relationship?
