Even when I started dating I still had issues with stuff like PDA. My first partner I had I really liked but I was really embarrassed about doing stuff with them in public. I also always hated the idea of showing affection for a lover in front of my parents.

I just dont like the thought at all. I always deal with this issue in a very simple way. I simply dont tell my parents ever. Problem solved! However sometimes they ask why I dont want them to see my parents and I say its embarrassing.

Im not ashamed of dating people but I dont like talking about it to people like my parents or doing stuff in front of family. Even when I would kiss my partners in HS I would take them behind a building to do it most of the time. Is it normal to feel this way? I am now 21 and I still have the same issues I did when I was like 12. Is it normal? Some people seem really insistent on meeting the parents but me trying to admit I am dating someone is just really embarrassing.

    You sound like me, but my issue with PDA extends beyond being witnessed by family. I think it may have something to do with how you were raised. Did your family ever make you feel guilty about dating? Are they nosy?
