Friends?

[Clive Sparrow]

My girlfriend and I hang out with our friends together a lot, ya know what I mean? I mean, like, we'll ALL go bowling and stuff. And I know it might seem dumb, but I feel more nervous around her when I'm around all her friends too. What do you think is an ok level of things to do with your significant other when you're around her friends and your friends? I mean, I always wanna kiss her, but I'm afraid I'll embarass her or somethin, so, do you think you should lay off of kissing them until you're alone? or does it all depend on the person?

[LaRêveuse]

Well yes, it does depend on the person, but it also kind of depends on how long you two have been together and how comfortable she is kissing you around other people. As far as comfort, you just have to ask her. My boyfriend and I have been together a few weeks short of a year, and will pop a kiss in front of about anybody. But a month or two into our relationship, we wouldn't have been so quick to do so.

You have to not only know what she thinks about it, but what the people around you think about it. Some people think it's cute, some people get grossed out. As long as you're not full-blown making out, and you don't do it every couple of minutes, I don't see anything wrong with it. But it really depends a lot on the situation.

geesh.. how about.. you and her..

talk about it first. simple. easy. less confuzion. honestly.

but yahz. what to do? simple peckz... cuddlin... lotsa things u could do...

i mean i think it depends on the sitch and environment too...

like a bowlin alley... who goes madd makin out at bowlin!? honestly...
but like if u're at a party... not a lotta ppl gonna mind that u kno?
and it also depends on the type of ppl they are...
sum ppl think pecks are cute, some ppl would think "get a damn room"
sum ppl think madd makin out is grossin, some ppl would think "live porn!"

u kno? dpeends

but yahz talk ta her

I think that works for a lot of situations, talking about it first. hell, I do that half the time regardless of what everyone says, hehe. I think really asking people on the forums helps to get ideas of what other people do in the situation, and it can influence you one way or the other. with me really, I just like seeing what other people have done and if people can relate to the situation.

If it were me...I would do really cutsie stuff like hold hands, give little hugs, flirt uncontrollably, play with his hands...whatever, but nothing like kissing. I've never felt real comfortable around other couples that kiss and stuff, so I wouldn't want to create the same atmosphere for my friends and stuff.

My friends...have told me that they wouldn't care if we kissed little "cute" kisses in front of them, but I don't even kiss and tell...let alone kiss in front of my friends ;-). His friends...are my ex's friends as well, so I would feel REALLY weird.

[Coyote Loco]

as long as you do it in moderation then everyone will be fine with it... it's all about being comfortable wiht her...

:mrgreen:

[Clive Sparrow]

I think that the whole thing you said about just flirting is the way to go. I mean, like I've said before I like hearing what everyone else thinks about it, and it's nice getting to see if people have been in similar situations, but if you try to plan this stuff, it gets screwed and never works the way you want it to.
