On most days, I don't mind being single

I went to a friend's party and I never felt more single than I felt that night. I went with a friend and her almost boyfriend and chilled with another friend which you guessed right, brought her boyfriend as well. I don't usually mind being single but last night, it definitely got on my nerves.

I don't know what it is about publicly displaying your affection which make couples think it's okay. I mean, I don't mind seeing them hold hands or sit beside each other or give each other occasional hugs.. But is it really necessary to kiss every 15 seconds? Is it really necessary to grope each other in front of other people? Dude, you're in a public place with friends.. If you wanted to do that, you should've stayed home, in your room.. Or in your car.. Or wherever quasi-private.. When you are at your friend's house, don't kiss and fool around as if you were at your own.. Again, if you wanted to do that, you should have stayed at home.. Have some courtesy..

Another thing, I hate it when couples are insensitive.. They act all sweet and flirty around their single friends who already feel bad enough that they're alone.. Why? Why can't you hold your hormones down for a couple of hours? Why can't you just save the puckering for later when no one else is around to feel awkward? I get that you're physically attracted to each other and all that but why do you have to show the whole world? Is nothing private anymore? Is the concept of "private" on the verge of extinction? It's almost the same thing as posting your home made videos on Facebook.. Ladies, have some respect for yourself if not for your partner.. And men, respect your ladies enough to keep your private things PRIVATE..

For the record, I HAVE had "boyfriends". I have experienced what it's like to have this desire to kiss your partner, a desire that's never extinguished.. But if I remember correctly, I have kept the public acts of affection very minimal.. Even if we were with friends to whom we were really comfortable with, I don't think we did more than peck.. I respected myself, my partner and my friends enough to not place anyone in a awkward and uncomfortable position..

Where does being single come into the picture? Well, i hate having to bear no other company than these kinds of friends.. I hate feeling so uncomfortable and awkward and icky at the sight of tongues and hand actions, alone..

After how I felt last night.. I vow that I will never go (exaggeratedly) PDA around friends.. and anyone who's reading this can strike me when I do.. If any of you see me being all flirty and physical with my partner and that makes you feel uncomfortable, I give you the permission to condemn me and call me a hypocrite.. Please, throw a stone at me..

I say these things because I know that it's possible to not publicly show affection for your partner especially in the company of your friends.. As much as I have PDA-loving couple friends, I also have those couple friends who act proper.. You know they're together and they're sweet but they act pretty decent..

So much angst in this post..

Anyway, I'm sure that you all get my point and I hope that you don't take it offensively.. These are MY sentiments.. If you have thoughts go ahead and comment.. If you want to justify your acts, go ahead, I will still respect you when you do.. But I pray that you respect my opinions too..

Sincerely,
Kyle
