Drama
In discussing this issue, I believe it is appropriate to cover it comprehensively because love means different things to different people. There are people who believe in public display of affection as a way of showing love, and there are those who do not think it is that much of a big deal. You also have to consider the fact that not everyone has the boldness it takes to kiss a man/woman publicly; some of us are so shy they wouldn’t even consider the idea…So it pretty much depends on who’s involved.
Personally, though I think publicly showing one’s partner love, like kissing, hugging, or even holding hands with them on the streets can go a long way in strengthening a relationship because first of all, it sends a strong message across to onlookers that really, you two are proud of one another, and happy to be together so potential ‘homewreckers’ are warned- off. It also gives both parties a sense of security in the relationship; and the impression that they’re valued well enough to be shown off to the world like that because only someone who truly cares about you would get down like that. This doesn’t mean PDA is the only way to prove or express love/one’s feelings cos like I said, some people are extroverted/shy and may not be comfortable with kissing in public, but if you can do it, and have a partner who shares the same sentiments, it’s a good way to keep love alive.
