Deeper meaning.
What's her reaction to PDA?
Is she an out and out b!tch or does she just not reciprocate?
Is she like "OOOH, hands off. Not in public!"
Or, more laid-back?
Is she a 'bed room only girl' or does she just need some privacy?
Are you in front of her friends when you try to PDA or just in public in general?
If she's a b!tch, I'd already have launched her.
If she's queasy about it, discover why. Maybe personal preference, maybe it's how she was raised, maybe she became programmed NOT to like that much affection.
In my world, love has no boundaries. It's my reality, and ya'll are just visiting, so if I want to kiss my girl, I'll kiss her. If we're gonna knock boots, then I'll go somewhere half decent.
If you desire a woman who is *more* affectionate go find her.
I've always found this conundrum interesting. Up here in Boston, I enjoy taking a girl out about the city, for coffee/espresso martinis and walking in the snow. That setting along is enough to turn her jets on. You can't miss! If I ever had a girl not into, it was either I didn't set the stage right or she's not my type.
It's one thing to PDA in the kid's clothing department at Baby Gap, and entirely different to PDA in a romantic setting, makeout at a strip club, or kiss it up in a nice club.
It's a 'grey' area thing where if you're relegated to a certain location or geographic area due to age, then it is what it is and you'll have to discover those places it's acceptable to do such things. Most women will be more into what's publicly acceptable than men will, so sort of knowing where is or isn't is a good idea. Especially if you drag her someone she's likely to meet her HS track coach or college professor, or even pastor. She has an image, in her mind, to uphold, and in public some women feel slutty doing such things.
Be the real man and show her how to get what you both want, and yet enable her to keep her face in public and she'll reward you in privacy.
