Title: Kissing in public
Post by: Joyce on July 30, 2013, 11:02:11 AM

Saw this on TV today and thought it might be interesting to see what you think. So do you? Did you? Would you?

Yes I have and yes I would.  However, much as I don't mind a quick kiss I'm not in favour of   watching couples chewing each other's faces off especially when their hands start wandering. I mean if that's what you're wanting to do - get a room!  ::)

We used to.  Lots.  Now I cringe inside if I see others kissing deeply in public, I saw an old couple only yesterday  >:(  ;D ....... a quick peck in public is OK-ish  ::)

When you are in love you feel as if you are the only people in the world in a cocoon, I remember it well  :D eyes only for each other.

Changing the subject slightly, I see loads of middle aged couples holding hands whilst they are food shopping!
My OH can't get round the supermarket fast enough, so he can get out.  No time to hold hands. Lol

I must admit that when I see couples canoodling in public, I feel it is for show rather than anything else - like they want people to look at them. A peck is fine but anything else should be private in my opinion. (Crikey I sound so OLD!)

Don't mind a quick peck but I really remember seeing "older" people snogging when I was younger and thinking it was disgusting.  ;D

Don't want them thinking that about me. We do hold hands sometimes though.

We know a couple who are well into their 90s and they always hold hands. Don't think it's much to do with romance and more about balance now  ::)

I link arms for that when I've got my heels on.  ;D

Though had to laugh at your comment about older people "snogging". Years ago, I'm talking about when I was a young innocent teenager  ;) my mum & I were out with my aunt & uncle and we came across a couple in a car. My aunt turned round and said they should save their "winching" for indoors. Hadn't a clue what she meant. In my head winching was hauling something by a winch onto back of lorry.  ;D
