How do you show affection to your partner in front of your friends?

Cupid’s Advice:

Managing PDA is always tricky, but it’s especially tricky around friends.  Here are a few ways to show affection without making things awkward:

1. Tone it down: Try toning down your usual displays of affection in order to make your friends feel more comfortable.  Give your partner a hug instead of a kiss, or hold hands instead of sitting on each others’ laps.

2. Keep it quick: Keep your displays short and sweet.  Give your partner a quick kiss when your friends’ backs are turned or go in for a short hug.

3. Little gestures: Try holding your partner’s hand or sitting close to them.  These little gestures will allow you to show affection without making your friends uncomfortable.
