A question on apropriateness and PDA's

[Nicholas The Slide]

Ok, so i have a gorup of friends. (OMG!) And, i realize that, because we are all rahter immature teenagers and afaraid to go outside of our boxes, we frequently "go out" with each other (Technically i am not included in the "going out" but will continue to use "we"). Now, we get together a lot and, usually when someone is "going out" with someone else, all that means is that they are "together" the entire time that he group is together. Sounds fine right? well "together" means, they only recognize the others presence. No others (i am exxaderating, but for effect). Personally, i find this rather Inappropriate for the situation (and a bit insulting) because the point that everybody got together is so that they could interact in a socially beneficial way, and personally, i enjoy the company of my friends. I just talked with the two people who were "together" last time me and my friends congregated (it was a drag party, lots of fun). I told them that, in my opinon, it was a inappropriate time to act that way. And, i dont kmnow about you guys, but to me it is quite intimidating to walk up to two of my friends, who are sitting baisically on top of each other on a couch, and start up a conversation. you get a lot of those long awkwrd silences and spiteful "i dont want you here, i am busy" glances.

now that you knwo the scene, i wasnted to ask, do you (the general public of BF) think i "did the right thing" in talking to them both about it, and reccmoending a course of action that says, "if you want a relaly intanate moment together, go on a date, Large social gatherings with friends is not an appropriate time or place for that."

Really,if they want to have sex or make out dont bother them.

meh,its your choice though

I agree that it is inconsiderate for a couple to be all over each other in public (and I admit, I was guilty of it back when I was in a relationship). I'll forgive a happy couple for sharing a few kisses and hugs, but there is a limit to the appropriateness of that behavior. I hope your friends took it well when you talked to them. Although it's embarrassing, you were not out of line to do so.

Being on the other end of this argument, when you kiss somone in such a way in public, it is like saying "I love you", to the whole world. To everyone else it might be a bit disturbing but to the two people performing the act, it means the world to them.

Time for my "perverse" opinion.

I believe that if people don't want to see me kissing somebody they don't have to look. I am, in no way, forcing them to and it shouldn't be taken that way.

Get over it, stop whining. I don't care about your opinion of my actions. If I did I would never do anything.

u were right to tell them that a pda is something couples should do alone not with friends, they cant be making out and expectsomeone to go over and start a convo u did wat was "right" by means of appropriate public behavior.
