writes:My girlfriend and I have been dating for a little over 6 months now. We are both still in high school and I can't help but ignore the constant chatter by my friends. Every single one of my friends (both friends who are single and some who are dating also) continually tells me that we never do anything. And by "do" I mean touching, holding hands, etc. The fact of the matter is that we do hold hands, cuddle, etc. However we may not do these things all of the time, including when we are with friends. So whenever we "do" anything they will always sit and stare with an expression of shock and occasionally throw in some whispers. So I guess my question really is, why are they all so obcessed with the fact that we aren't as touchy as they are and that we aren't always pretty much on top of each other 24/7?

 Trust me, a lot of teenagers these days, Will pressure there friends into going further, just because they have, or they want too. If you listen, you'll probably end up going into somewhere unprepared and definetly not ready for. As teenagers, some young minds try to influence there friends into kissing infront of anyone, Do they try to do this to you? I've noticed that alot lately. Their will be a couple in a group of a large amount of people, and then everyone will start chanting, "kiss! kiss! kiss!" Or something silly like that. But, as if your going to kiss if everyones trying to make you do it, right?
Tell them to back off. If they want to be all over there girlfriends, 24/7, or all over any girl, then so be it.
Laugh at them, and ask them why it bothers them so much if you don't want to do the same? Not everyones a fan of the PDA. (Public Displays Of Affection) You've just got a bunch of friends with raging hormones.. and all you can do is sit back and laugh.
Good luck!
