was enjoying a cool drink at a joint the other day and saw this couple engaging in an openly display of affection.. in full view! not an affectionate squeeze on the shoulder or pat on the thigh but smooching & those long languid strokes on the hair.. on various body parts *cringes* i'm no prude and am known to be affectionate but i've always believed in proper conduct in public.. what disgusts me is that the couple in question are not kids in their teens, with hormones raging and doesnt know any better but young adults who are supposed to be mature in certain sense.. jeez.. had the urge to tell them to please do their personal grooming at home.. i was so embarrassed for them.. Then i began to think.. "what made them behave in such a manner?" i'm sure they are fully aware of their behaviour..
ran that by zack when i got home.. he had proven to be an exceptional judge of character on countless occasions.. he has this innate ability to read a person extremely well and i've come to rely on his opinions.. while i will go off on tangents and tell a long grandmother story, he is always able to summarise and give a succinct verdict.. once again, his analytical brain rears.. while i was off describing the minute details of the 'engagement' and how my stomach turns just watching the gal stroke the guy's arm.. etc.. all he gave me was one sentence: "they are insecure.."
and i was like: "gosh, u are right.. i didnt see it that way!" he pointed out that couples in stable relationships do not behave in this manner cos they do not have the need to 'show off'.. it was almost like this couple was telling the world.. "hey, look at us, see how loving we are" but they didnt realise that there is a fine line between appearing affectionate and looking ostentatious.. and as a woman, i feel sorry for that woman cos it really didnt look good on her.. 'westernized' or not, a woman should always conduct herself with respect.. i sound like some principal
a stolen kiss here and there is fine.. a quick nib on the neck or a squeeze on the butt when no one is looking is ok (dun tell me u dont do that :P).. such engagements are between a couple, not for people to see! playful sexual teasings between a couple are actually healthy.. but smooching and stroking blatantly infront of people or friends (it's almost deliberate) is really hard to take..
thats my take anyway.. oh well.

My option? Damn it! I hate when these damn couple love to show off with their tongues and lips intertwining with one another. It makes people like me who is looking for a real relationship rather then a fling pissed that I am single.
