Generally I am not too affectionate with partners in public. I rarely hold hands, hug, cuddle or kiss in public. In fact, I think I am far less affectionate now than when I first started having girlfriends. How affectionate are you towards partners and others in public? I'm probably most affectionate when I greet female friends. I will often greet them with a kiss on the cheek or, if close fiends, a hug. Male friends have to make do with a nod of acknowledgement and maybe a handshake from me. I think it was my background - my parents never showed me any physical affection in public or in private. And boarding school certainly didn't make me more affectionate towards others. PS. I was tempted to do a JN and make this blog post into a two-parter to make it less wordy!
