Is PDA a sign of love? This to me is one of those questions you treat with mixed reactions. PDA is a sign of love most definitely and PDA also wouldn’t hold sway in many situations. There are many angles you can look at the matter of PDA from and I’d shed more light on them in a nutshell.
When one is in love, you don’t care what the world thinks; you show that you love your partner whether you are alone indoors or out with friends or taking a walk on the street; love comes to the fore of the relationship, it overrides you and your partner and you don’t mind; with this you can say PDA is a sign of love in that relationship because the moment that partner stops having the affection to show PDA then it could be said that the relationship is on the decline; so in this context PDA is a huge sign of love.
Also, some people who have multiple partners are quite restricted to showing PDA, they don’t feel comfortable with PDA because they wouldn’t want to ruin their other relationships; with this, a lady or a man can easily spot that their partner is hiding things or doesn’t have enough affection for them to show PDA.
PDA means care, it means affection, it shows attraction; I wouldn’t show PDA to a lady that I don’t have something for and most men out there are like that. Also, it also doesn’t mean you should pull the trigger to end a relationship because your partner doesn’t show PDA; some people are quite old-fashioned, they feel shy and reluctant to show PDA but they still are crazy about their partner. So in a situation like this, you shouldn’t use PDA as the judge to your partner’s actual feelings and emotion, but you can teach your partner to warm up to PDA rather than complain. Everyone’s exposure levels are quite different and this affects their PDA.
In a few cases I’ve also seen situations where people show PDA without really having much love or affection. These kinds of ladies can show PDA to Tom, Harry, James and the lot; these kinds of men would show PDA to Lilian, Gloria, Vivian and a host of others without minding; so if you want to base PDA totally as a sign of love then you might actually lose out.
I think PDA is a sign of love but PDA isn’t enough, PDA isn’t everything, but it is a sign of love.
What’s your take on PDA?
