Public displays of affection

Hi everyone. The inspiration behind this post was from one of my ex boyfriends.

I was thinking about this the other day. How come Europeans are ok with public displays of affection, but most Americans are uncomfortable?? In Italy, for example, it's not so unusual to see two people kissing outside. They can be seen kissing in the square or in a restaurant.

My ex-boyfriend and I used to kiss all the time in public. I was not uncomfortable with it at all. I was very happy he felt so comfortable with me that he wanted to kiss me in public!!! The kissing wasn't anything heavy; just a short peck on the cheek. I just loved the reactions we would get!! Everything from a stern frown: "ew, not in my store".... to a huge grin: "aw, that's so cute"... to jealousy: "I wish MY boyfriend would do that to me". It goes without saying that I liked the huge grin reaction the most. From the list, the most common reaction was a stern frown: "ew... not in my store". I just do not understand why people are uncomfortable with it!!! If you like or love someone, why not??

What are YOUR opinions?
