    How affectionate are you to your other half?

    I'm not talking about when you're drunk & half hugging/ strangling him/ her but just in everyday life.

    Do you hug each other a lot? Kiss?

    I'm annoyingly affectionate. I like displays of affection, although not in public. No sense making the rest of the world sick.

    Often depends on how affectionate an OH wants me to be!

    However I don't go for any of this kissing shiit in public, I'll hold your hand or put my arm round ya walking down the street if you like but that's about it!

    Behind closed doors is another story.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam


    yes and yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    No kissing or holding hands, just throw it in :eek:

    in public?

    i don't like seeing people all over each other, therefore i don't inflict it on others, holding hands, a quick peck, him putting his arm around me and hugs are permissible.

    in private....we are both VERY affectionate ;) but that's private!:D

    Yeah, the whole public thing makes me want to vomit. It's crossed over to facebook now where people feel the need to tell/show us who they're dating. I recommend you delete any friends with two people in their profile pic.

    I'm a pretty tactile person: hug/kiss mates, my kids etc and I'm generally affectionate.

    I have no problem with couples holding hands and kissing in public even if I don't go overboard on it myself. I'm capable of turning my head and don't need to watch if I don't like it.

    Find really OTT get-a-room stuff like dry-humping a bit much though.

    I would like to be more affectionate, but mammy doesn't like it when I try to put my tongue in her mouth when I kiss her goodnight.

    I'd be somewhere between the top two options tbh... We're very affectionate in private, but keep it to a minimum in public (but still have the occasional smooch)

    I'm dying for a hug right now.
    Seriously, I wouldn't have considered myself a clingy or needy person but I have to get a hug soon but i won't see the other half until tonight sometime & I don't think I can wait that long.

    I don't belong to the "eat each others face off with as many sound effects as possibly on the bus" group of people, but we do hug and kiss a lot, both in public and in private.

    In private: very.

    In public: stop holding my hand you b1tch, you're making me look like a sissy!!!!

    I would be somewhere between the top two options. We're VERY affectionate in private but we're quite affectionate in public too. Hugs, kisses and holding hands in public = fine. Snogging, dry humping, groping in public = vomit!

    My wife and I hold hands or link arms in public, hug and kiss a bit but keep it to a minimum.

    I hate to be pedantic OP, but in your poll - option 4 really should be "never will be". Anyway, here's that hug you're dying for ! :)






    I reallly really like being pedantic

    I would be affectionate and love to give my man a peck on the cheek, hold hands etc when in public but nothing OTT.

    He on the other hand is not one for big public displays of affection even holding my hand in public is a bit of a struggle from him at times.

    Well I'm currently single at the moment, but when ever I was with someone or seeing someone I wasn't too fond of PDA's in public. I prefer PDA's in private to be honest. It bugs me though when people overdo the PDA's in public, I often have to turn a blinds eye when it happens on the street or in a shop or cafe or something.

    It depends.
    Its all about time and place - and to what degree incorporated with a decency of manners to those around you at the time.

    I am the most unaffectionate person in the world,no time for that malarky. Raised hard and it tells in my hard exterior and personality but if you do break through it you are there forever or at least till you annoy me.

    Hugs and kisses blah.

    I'm not an affectionate person with anyone but my partner and my animals. I rarely voluntarily hug/kiss-on-cheek friends, though I'm fine if someone else instigates.

    But when I'm with someone I'm ridiculously affectionate and sweet-- love physical affection and just doing nice things for the other person for no reason. In public, not so much I suppose, holding hands, hugs and quick kisses are about as far as it'll get and the kisses are rare. I wouldn't dream of making out in front of a load of people (unless I was plastered).

    My girlfriend is the complete opposite of me when it comes to how "affectionate" we are.

    For Example:
    The second we leave the house, she reaches out for my hand, and if I ever decide to pull away and say "get off!" (or another, more lighthearted response!) she assumes I'm embarassed of her, or being seen with her in public.

    We fight a lot.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    I'm not really that affectionate now that i think about it, only with someone i'd know really well. I put it down to being quite shy. It'd definitely be more in private than public when i am, and nothing OTT. Nothing worse than being stuck on a bus or something with a couple in front of you eating the face off each other.

    Been known to squeeze the odd ass cheek in public.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    Never really thought about this before. I wouldn't make out in public, 'cause I'd hate to make others uncomfortable and I just think it's really rude when you're out with a group of friends and one couple is all over each other.
    Hand holding and stuff is fine, but tbh I'm not exactly bothered if we don't. I guess I'm pretty affectionate, but not OTT.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    Id say Im fairly affectionate to close friends and family I would hug them if I see them, but public displays of affection Im not to keen on it would be limited to just holding hands and a light kiss
    I hate to see people with their tongues down the back of the others throat practically having sex in public places

    Oh right. Nevermind my vote. I never read the original post! I thought you meant in general.

    I don't have a partner but whenever I do I'm only affectionate in private. Kissy kissy overly all over each other couples do my head in!
