That he needs to stop with the PDA? I really like this guy and do not want to hurt his feelings. I just can not deal with all of the kissing, stroking, touching in public or otherwise. I want to continue to see him, he is a really great guy and we connect in every other way. I DO find him attractive. We are neither of us in high school/college.. I kinda resent him for making me have this convo with him. So.. help a girl out. How do I bring it up? I am a pretty straightforward girl and Im afraid I will just hurt his feelings. It is definitely a dealbreaker if he doesn't stop.
Just tell him. If he is feeling you then he wouldn't mind you saying that. If he is not feeling you then good riddance for you.
Just say it next time he does it - let him know you don't generally like it. Dudes is simple. Just be forward. It shouldn't be a big deal.
Say the following: He's a great guy. If he wants to continue seeing you, he needs to accept you for who you are. You are a very honest and straightforward person. It's important that y'all communicate so you can't remain silent anymore. The PDA is really bothering you, and if he cares about you and the relationship, he will accommodate you.
I would tell him exactly what you just said here. He should get the message but not be upset about it, I know that's how I would take it.
Tell him the next time he pushes you in national media its over. Joking aside, just what the above posters already said. Just tell him, it shouldn't be a problem at all.
Just tell him that you want to talk about something that has been bothering you. Explain that you really care for him and that the last thing you want is for something to escalate to the point where it is a real problem. Let him know that while you care for him that his PDA are something that you are not comfortable with. He either gets it or he doesn't. Honestly, if he is a baby about it and gets all butt hurt, you probably don't want to be with him long term anyway.
He's probably feeling insecure about something (like he probably outkicked his coverage. Though, we wouldn't know without pics...wait, did it take to post #10 to ask? You guys are slipping). Just be honest and, like Master Baiter said, if he's a baby about it, he isn't the one anyway.
Another question.. is this a symptom of a deeper issue? insecurity/possessiveness/etc? Has anyone had a similar experience with someone they have dated?
Just tell him straight up. Girls need to stop trying to send signals or signs because guys don't pick up on that ****! Just be real with him. Every guy would appreciate that from every girl. Much better than having to be a detective and decipher all the signals and codes yall give out.
It could be, how is he around friends and family? If he's a hugger with them and that kind of thing then it's just probably just how he grew up.
My gf and I have been open and upfront with everything, honesty is the best policy. I would tell him before it happens as to not embarrass him in public
Just be honest with him. You like him and you like being affectionate but just not in public. If you're too afraid to confront him, you can write a note on his PDA.
Just tell him you are not that into him. You don't like kissing and touching each other privately? What kind of a relationship are you expecting? I don't like PDAs either, but you have to be intimate privately. If I had a girlfriend who was not into me touching her privately I'd have to break it off.
