is it unfair to make love in public?

[mayrain]

So I have a friend who is slightly handicapped and whenever he sees people making out (kissing,hugging,smooching, etc) in public he feels sad. He thinks he will never be able to experience the wonderful feelings of being in a relationship. So I was wondering if couples should avoid making out in public places. What are your views on this?

I like to ask a question of my own. Is it unfair to restrict those showing love towards their lovers in a public place because someone sees themselves as incapable of obtaining a lover for themselves? Are the people being restricted responsible for the issues that they face or the feelings that come from those issues in the matters of relationships?

Being handicapped doesn't make you incapable of finding someone. What does do it however is the perception that you are incapable and therefore unwilling to attempt to do so because you already came to the conclusion that you can't before you even tried.

I would suggest that he stop thinking of his disabilities as limitations and see himself as different rather then limited. If he starts going through life with a positive mindset then he may find someone to call his own someday but no one wants someone in their life who spends his days feeling sorry for himself.

I can agree in some sense that watching people makeout can be a little annoying. I think it just comes down to... are you just kissing? Or being obnoxious?

When you're out in public around others, you need to show decency. No one wants to watch people lip wrestle. In some cases, yes, it has to do with someone being jealous, but generally, we just don't want to see it. A quick kiss on the lips is fine, but when you're full on making out, grinding against each other, etc then it has gone too far.

I think people just need to have a little self-control...
