Love. It's a beautiful thing, no one can disagree. When you find that special someone the rest of the world seems to vanish and there isn't a care in the world! But to my couples out there, let's come back to reality a little bit alright? I, myself, am in a relationship, but know what and what not to do in the company of others. Here are the top most fowl things I have unfortunately witnessed couples doing in public.
1. Feeding one another
Excuse me, but unless one of you has a disability, this is down right repulsive. Look down. See those things called hands? I'm sure you can figure out how to use them, you are not a blubbering baby clueless to the act of feeding yourself. Unless it's your wedding and you are shoving cake in each other's face, please refrain doing this while everyone else if trying to enjoy their meals.
2. Holding each other's waists while walking
NOOOOOO. No. No. No. No. No. How is this in any way, shape, or form logical? It's awkward, you're different heights, have different strides and even more repulsive when one's hand is shoved into the other's jean pocket. I used to do it as a kid with my BFFs (not the pocket part) and believe me, there was a guaranteed face plant each time. This is not a comfortable way to walk. Hand holding or linking arms I'll allow. It is safe, logical, and still allows you to be touching your partner if you can't keep your arms off.
Ahh, you see? Look how happy this couple is holding their hands. So free so young, they're doing it right.
3. PDA
We get it, you're a couple. You might get hot and bothered on the side of a building or anywhere in public, but please keep it for the bedroom or else you'll be attacked by this sly dog.
4. Working out together
Seriously, as if you aren't together enough. I go to the YMCA and I always see this perfect young and fit couple that workout together. And when I say together I mean one is breathing over the other while they lift weights at a machine and then they switch places. The women is now pregnant and they still go to the gym and do their workouts together like seriously??? Flaunt your perfection more, I dare you.
5. Pet names
"I'll be right back boo boo bear." ~cringe~
6. Ass grabbing
First off, it just looks disrespectful. Second of all, it's just weird and makes us imagine things we don't want to ever want to imagine about you. I don't care if your special someone has the ass of Nikki Minaj, please for the love of god wait until you are alone!!! Though I will give this girl some credit...
7. Sitting on laps
Unless there are simply no other seats in the proximity, there should be no lap-sitting. Your partners lap is not going to catch a cold or feel lonely, I promise.
