I met the this weekend. I was at a friend's apartment for a Galentine's Day brunch and ended up chatting with a woman I'll call Rebecca. She was all doe-eyed and long-limbed and had a slight that made it clear she didn't grow up in the United States. She was, in a word, adorable. I clearly wasn't the only one who thought so! Rebecca was there with her boyfriend, who I'll call Ben. Throughout the afternoon, they exhibited some PDA that convinced me they're head over heels in love, even though I know that's not always what PDA translates into. I'm a general fan of PDA. As long as it doesn't go overboard no ass-grabbing in public, I beg you , then I don't see anything wrong with stealing a or holding hands. That is, as long as that kiss doesn't become a prolonged makeout on the subway and that hand-holding isn't in the middle of the sidewalk, when I and the rest of New York City have somewhere to be. OK, to be truthful, I sometimes even think it's sweet when people get so swept up in the moment, they forget themselves a bit. On a night out a few weeks ago, some friends and I walked past a couple who was kissing in an alley. Sounds sketchy, but it was actually really romantic. They were completely caught up in each other. That's how Ben and Rebecca were. I didn't actually see them kiss, but every time he ran his fingers through the ends of her hair or she scooted closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder, I could practically see sparks fly. It made me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy. But does PDA sometimes disguise how unhappy someone is in a relationship? I seriously doubt that's the case for Rebecca and Ben, but I do think it's possible. Overcompensating in public for what's going on in your private life isn't new, and it certainly isn't restricted to relationships. Sometimes PDA can seem forced, and then it's like, the lady doth protest too much. The most recent example that comes to mind is , the latest couple in The Bachelorette franchise. They made a lovey appearance at the live premiere of The Bachelor and just a few days later announced their breakup. This is yet another reminder that you should never compare your relationship with someone else's. I'm sure there were people out there who watched Andi and Josh at the live premiere and wished they had the kind of love they wanted to share with the world. It just goes to show that even though PDA can seem super sweet, appearances can in fact be deceiving. Do you care about seeing PDA? Are you a fan of it yourself, or do you prefer to keep that kind of thing behind closed doors?
