Well, in a way.. I find it hard to control my affection. It's interesting how girls say they want a guy who cares about them, and yet they don't want you to express your affection..
-
In public, yes. That is no place for anyone to show affection. Well, except to maybe your baby or something, which I've never done in public.
-
With new people, yes. It takes awhile, even though I want to!
-
no........
-
Not at all.
-
Nope. I love showing my affection towards my fiance and he does also ;) It think it makes for a very healthy relationship to not be afraid to show your love for one another.
-
No, I'm actually a little afraid I'm TOO affectionate.
-
yes i wansn't raised to show affection i also find it that if you show to much emotion you are weaker and vise-versa
-
No.....MUAH (((hugs)))
-
Meh, not if I'm comfortable with the person. =)
-
My way of showing affection is sarcasm and poking fun...if I didn't like you, I wouldn't waste my time teasing you. (It's not like what 10 year olds do, it's more mature). I do find it hard, however, to give lots of compliments to one person. I'm just not used to it.
-
I do in public.
-
yes, and it's not because i feel like i'm showing weakness when i do, but it's more because i grew up in that kind of environment ... i belong to a very close and loyal family, but we seldom talk about feelings, let alone show affection, although we know and understand the love that binds us ... and i grew up this way, and sometimes it becomes an issue not only with my relationships with men, but even towards my friends ...
-
We weren't raised with any sort of affection at all. I feel like I missed a lot so I am really good at hugging, kissing and saying I love you.
-
Not with my family, I can be as affectionate as I want, but relatives or friends, not so much..
-
Not at all, usually. But there are some people - like my husband - who tends to rebuff physical affection, so that makes me shy away. I can nearly count the number of times we have kissed. I can definitely count the number of times we held hands.
-
yes i do. Even with friends as well as in more romantic type relationships. It feels that when i finally do let people in and show them affection that it gets thrown back in my face a bit further down the track... maybe i'm just unlucky...
-
with all of my ex's i found it very hard, i wasnt affectionate at all, but with my current bf all i want to do all the time is show him affection
-
I don't even know how to show affection.
-
Wow, this is a great question. It simplifies the situation I'm currently in to a point where I can actually make the hard decision. Do I say too much, make myself a fool... And she runs away? Or do I not say enough, have it seem like I don't care... And she walks away? Thank you for this question. Now I know what I have to do. Tomorrow afternoon.
-
No .. i find it's easy :)
-
No. I find it hard NOT to show affection. I am a toucher-feeler. I have to restrain myself.
-
Not really. It depends on how affection is defined. But I usually do show that I care.
-
I'm not a very outwardly affectionate person and the Marine Corps certainly hasn't helped in that department. That being said, there's only one and a 8/9ths people who I show affection to. For those two it's very easy.
-
Not is its my g/f. Anywhere else and your question would be very true.
-
sometimes i get shy about it...
-
NOPE not anymore :) i used to be shy, but my s/o helped me out with that by voicing his concerns... i listened :)
-
No I use to but not anymore I am pretty open now ! :)
-
Only towards girls :) and my family :3 Anyone else is just creepy O.O;
-
It depends on how much I want sex, so most the time no.
-
No, I have trouble keeping my hands to myself!! ;)
-
nope
-
No way! I give affection like it's going out of style!
-
I feel it with great ease, but I show it with great difficulty.
-
No wayyy! I'm such an affectionate person...I cant' help it! :):):)
-
yes, and i hate myself for it. I actually have to remind myself to hug my loved ones because it doesn't come naturally for me unfortunately
-
Yes, I do. :(
-
To be honest, ... yes. I think I've figured out why, though.
-
Kind of, I find it pretty difficult when I actually have feelings for someone, I can be pretty standoffish and clueless as to what I should do. But with anyone else I'm pretty touchy.
-
not at all I love to show affection towards those who are very near and dear to my heart.
-
Not at all - I'm one of the lucky ones. SPREAD THE LOVE!
-
If I don't trust the person to not react weirdly to it...
-
nope.im a sweet person..and i show affection in cute suprising ways
-
Yes. I was raised by rather stoic parents. Well... one was stoic and the other was an A-hole that no one wanted to be affectionate with anyway so...
-
Not at all. I'm very affectionate by nature.
-
No I am very good about showing affection
-
I grew up in different countries, and can say that there is a lot of cultural background in the display of affection. For example, Brazilians hug and kiss children who are not their own, in school, at stores, in the park... and compliment, touch and kiss one another often. It is standard for French Canadians to touch and kiss across genders when arriving or leaving. Even in the US, it varies from State to State, and from ethnic group to ethnic group. Personally, I don't have a problem displaying affection, because I spent part of my early childhood in Latin countries. My problem is sometimes the opposite, holding back (for fear of how parents and acquaintances will react).
-
hell no!!! i love showing affection. at first i used to be really uncomfortable with it. but now i show my gf so much affection it almost makes me sick. i dont know why she likes it so much. but it makes me happy to know it makes her happy.
-
No, its harder to get them to pay for the check : )
-
no, but she will find it HARD when I show affection
-
no im not very good at showing affection naturally. My new man loves to show me affection and wants it back, im am starting to enjoy it more now and im showing it more, it takes practise as i can fall back into old habits, but im trying and working at it, for some people it doesnt come naturally
-
not at all my partner complains i show to much affection
-
Yes. I am not a really demonstratively affectionate person. When I love someone, I love them very deeply and completely...and they know it.
-
Ya I guess so....
-
Oh, God, no! I come from a large family that falls all over one another...men and women. [Of course, we all drink our share, too! :-)] Anyway, when new propective members join --like the kids' new love interests-- they love all of us, too...and usually join right in [like they have a choice?], especially if they aren't accustomed to loving families like ours. I think some of them are "starving" for love...they'll sure get it out of my crew! :-)
-
It's not at all hard to show affection but,real affection with a feel is hard to find now a days.
-
Not at all, as a matter of fact, it's so much a part of who I am, I most likely would die a rather quick death if I could not express my affection. That was the primary problem between me and my ex-wife. She was fond of saying that, "I'm just not a touch person," whatever THAT is. I was dying a slow death from constant rejection.
