Question - (7 April 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 April 2008)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've never been one to like doing anything in public. Things that might make me look out of place. (Which is odd, because I am such a metalhead, wearing black band shirts, chains, spikes etc. [and just because I said that doesn't mean you get to answer my question any differently]) And, so you might be thinking "just don't do anything that may centre you out." Well, I wish it were that simple. Because of my fear of being centred out, I don't like hugging, kissing or holding hands with my boyfriend in public. SO, my question is: I don't like public affection, but my boyfriend does. What should I do?

quarky agony auntI had an ex like that, (not a metalhead, but the public affection bit!)...

Anyway, I'm not sure it should be something to worry about in particular-you're different people who like different things, even if you have lots in common! Just enjoy each others company, no matter where you are-that's the main thing!

Guess what I'm saying is that unless it's seriously getting in the way of you relationship, I doubt it's something to get too worried about. But yeah, speak to your partner, just clearing the air can be good!

lotsofgiggles123 agony auntwell you should show public affection you should not care what people think of you show people that you dont care what people think you try showing public affection and see how it goes and if you like or absolutley hate it

talk with your bf tell him that you are not very cool with show public affection and you want to keep it on the down low not so low that your attraction is a secret just enough where you two can be like fitting in if that what you truly wnat. :)
