Or any sort of affection. Is anyone out there that can explain to my why men do not like it when a woman spontanously kisses a man in public, holds his hands, out a arm around his waste, or whisper in his ears?. I thought everyone liked that. Is there a reason behind this feeling? Reply to this Question

 We are all different and there may be a reason he is not openly affectionate, maybe he has not been shown much love, maybe he is shy, maybe he is married or with someone else and does not want to be seen being intimate.
The only way to find out is to ask him what is and is not acceptable to him and see if you can live with that, and if you cannot then he is just not for you.

 If that is the way he is, you must learn to accept it as you can not force someone to change. Some men are embarassed of public affection although holding hands is quite conservative. You must prepare to accept this and respect his feelings if he is the One. The only compromise I would discuss with him would be the holding hands bit. Hope it helps
