I consider myself a warm and affectionate person.  I have very little problems with my feelings and expressing them.  I tell my friends at least a couple times a week that I love them(mainly because they are so awesome).  I tell my family that I love them after every conversation.  I like holding hands with my boyfriend as we walk down the street.  I love cuddling.

But as affectionate as I am, I have my limits.  

Hugging should be reserved for people you know and love.  It should be like an "I love you", if you do it too much it looses it's meaning.  It's a personal invasion thing.  You don't need to be in my space if I just met you.  I hug people I like.  If I don't really know you then I haven't decided whether or not I like you.  If you come in for a hug too soon in our relationship, I'm gonna have to quote Johnny Castle- "This is my dance space, this is your dance space. I don't go into yours, you don't go into mine!"

Holding hands.  I think of it as something very intimate.  Another thing I don't mind doing, if I know you and love you.  Or if you are a little child and we are crossing the street.  I once went on a second date with someone.  Second dates are not "hand holding dates".  Second dates are "we are still getting to know each other dates".  He held my hand while we were walking to the restaurant.  He held my hand at the restaurant.  He held my hand walking back from the restaurant.  Dude, I'm not going to run, you can leave my hand alone.

PDA.  I don't mind kissing in public.  When I say "hi" to the guy I'm dating, I'll kiss him.  Even when he does something cute, I'll kiss him in public.  I will not start making out with him in a bar full of people.  There are couples at the bar that I work at that don't leave much to the imagination.  When I feel uncomfortable coming up to your table because your tongues are down each other's throats, you should probably detach yourselves and pay the bill.  Your bed has to be much more comfortable than the bench you are sitting on. 

I really am a warm and affectionate person.  You just have to get to know me to see that side. Until then,respect my space.
