PDA
So, I'm not a huge fan of PDA (public displays of affection). I just don't enjoy seeing other people kissing all the time in public and i'm not totally comfortable doing that myself.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 10 months now and i just don't like the PDA.
My friend and her boyfriend are always kissing and stuff and I just think it look trashy. And if i ever say how i feel to my friend shes just like well your not affectionate with your bf. And we are, i love to be affectionate. i just dont like to be in public.
I mean I don't mind holding hands, putting arms around eachother, hugging and a peck to say goodbye. But I feel that should be all. Is this normal?

Yes definitely. I can count the times that my fiance and I have held hands in public on one hand and we've been together for over 2 years. We're very intimate and affectionate in private. We've never made out in front of other people. It's not that we're uncomfortable showing intimacy in public, we just feel like it's silly, unnecessary, immature, and disrespectful toward others. I think you'll find that many people will agree with you. There are people out there that are like your friend, but they are in the minority, making us the normal ones. :)

This is completely normal. Alot of people, including myself, feel this way. I mean sometimes a semi-long kiss is alright every now and then, but not full-on make out session. Numerous amounts of couples in my schools are like that - I'll be walking down the hallway to my next class and I'll turn the corner and there'll be two people making out right in my face, tongue and all. I'm just like thinking,"Mk, I'm gonna just goooo arounddd..."
The next time your friend makes any remarks about you and your boyfriend not being affectionate, I'd just simply reply,"We are too affectionate, just in our own way. Me and [his name] don't like making out infront of everyone. We prefer to save it for whenever we're alone. It makes it more romantic." Or something along those lines.
It's good you and your boyfriend aren't like this. It shows people it's more than just making out and hooking up with someone, that you two really do like eachother.
I hope I helped.

Absolutely. I'm exactly the same way.
In my way of thinking, to be all over each other in public sort of cheapens it when you're together; if you save displays of affection for when you're alone, they're just that much more special!
Next time your friend criticizes you for not being affectionate, tell her that you are, you just don't feel the need to broadcast it on national news.
You're secure in your relationship, and that's why you don't need to be all over each other all the time.
