I agree with the OP to an extent. It's obvious by body language when something is an affectionate gesture and when someone is delineating the boundaries of "their property" for public consumption. I'd rather sit across from my girl in a booth so I can make eye contact when I am talking to her and not have to turn my head constantly. I am happy to hold hands with her in public, but I probably am not gonna do it for hours on end and certainly not the "must-not-break-contact-on-penalty-of-death" thing some couples do. I do think if you are constantly within inches of each other, it's often either a new relationship or probably reflects some amount of insecurity but there are probably people like slcrocket who just appreciate the opportunity for extra physical contact. It's usually pretty easy to tell if people are holding hands because they like holding hands or if someone is on a "leash".
how would one even know there's such a thing as "THAT guy", unless you're actually there with THAT guy and hic chick, as in the truck, at a restaurant, etc... either you're seeing different guys in these different situations, which would mean your observation isn't very valid, since it's not one guy doing everything.....or you're talking about someone you specifically know and he's pisses you off, which i think is the case here.
KingCheetah, that was funny as *****... I do like feeling my loved one next to me, whether that be her leg intertwined with mine, or just putting my hand on her hip...but only for a little while, b/c I needs to be comfortable when I sleep and yes, it does get sweaty...
Most couples are like that in the beggining. They'll get over it. I just assume their a new couple when they do that so its cool. I was guilty of that at one point. Now we rarely ever hold hands
In the past, I have witnessed hispanic males securing their girlfriends, by cupping their hand like a claw around the back of the woman's neck. Surely I cannot be the only poster who has seen this?
My friend Chris is like this, the guy has a short sloth looking gf. Personally I tell him he can do alot better, he smothers her, always wants to know where she is and if it's true if she's where she says she is. Well saturday he calls me to let me know that his gf has been acting shady, she gets to his house Friday night from the club apparently she was drunk and had taken ecstasy. When she passes out he gets on her phone and finds txts from a guy she was obviously with earlier and they were "sexting" and due to the text he managed to come to the conclusion that the trick has been cheating on him and they have been going out for two years, they are supposed to be moving to Louisiana in a week together. I told him to dump her, but he says that she still loves him. Some guys are pushovers, it sucks that he's my friend. Has anyone ever washed their dick with toilet water?
ok, so to clarify... me and my girlfriend don't kiss.. period (personal choice) Because of this, we like to hold hands and show affection in other ways.. mainly just holding hands. She always asks to sit next to me in booths leaving the opposite side unoccupied. She loves to sit up right next to me... I never ask her to, but its how we show affection. Is our hand holding and close-sitting vomit-inducing for some of you??
hand holding is fine...but if she's all up on you when you're suppose to be eating or driving...i guess it seems childish because that's what teenagers often do, since they usually dont live with each other or see each other constantly, they knock out all the mushy stuff on dates....so if you're a grown couple it would seem odd, since you should have a place to do that at other times. And by being "all up on you", i mean over the top, as in she acts like she's glued to you and even when you're both eating she's got to be in contact with you, not just randomly reaching over to kiss you.
