Love makes the world go round. But a public display of affection for your partner will create discomfort for those who happen to look at you. In extreme cases, like in India, one may even get beaten up for it.

Nevertheless, couples in love forget the world around them. They tend to show their feelings a little too obviously, as if they want to prove to the world that they are in a relationship. A classic example of this is when couple constantly tell each other how much they are in love, while in the company of others.

When someone decides to give their time to a friend, and then promptly begins chatting with their lover, the situation is annoying to say the least. If the couple is so in love, they have all the time in the world to spend it together. If they need to take advantage of every single moment of free time, then it is advisable to not agree to meet 'friends'.

For many, looking at couples attached at the waist can be a little embarrassing. Mild displays of affection will no doubt create positivity and maybe even envy. But when a couple has no time to consider the feelings of those around them, the situation is frustrating for the friend who 'tagged along'.

In our state, everyone agrees that couples mostly take along a friend to make it appear as if its a group, while the so called friend is waiting patiently. The friend has nothing better to do until the lovers finish their conversations or whatever.

While hand holding and a quick peck on the cheek or forehead is acceptable, continual declarations of love is absolutely annoying for even the most patient of people. Public Displays of affections are fine up to a point and have to be checked before it goes overboard.
