What will you do? How will you react on this instance especially if you know that you are way older to both of them. I have an encounter like this once way back in the university. I was seated at the back and the young couple were sitting in front of me. When they did that, some yelled. I felt so awkward as well. What will you do?

Not a problem. Today custom is completely different with the past custom. We need to respect change because they are everywhere. But only for kissing. I've seen a couple who make love in the MRT. I'd like to kick them out. Hi, to do that, why don't they get a room, do they?

I feel awkward when I'm out with my friends and they start kissing in front of me, as I just don't know where to look or how to react. Because of this, I don't like kissing in public myself. I just feel exposed. I think the best thing to do though is just ignore it, or if they won't pack it in, ask them politely, and with any luck they'll be too embarrassed to carry on ;)

I would not be concerned. I had an older teenaged sister, so i saw that, growing up. She's now married to a wonderful man. They've been married for 12 years, together for 15, and they have a wonderful marriage.

Though it should not happen in public, but sometimes ppl cant control their feeling and emotions, and they express it any place, but for teenagers, i think they normally do it due to excitement and as they newly fall in love. but its really awkward like teenagers did it in public. if it will happen in front of me, i will definitely stop these guys and will ask them to do it in private.

[i]HI nengs, I will prefer to stay away! That happen to me before and I was very ashame being the one who witness them but they are very comfortable to each other and didn't care the crowd, SO, I decided to transfer to sit down, it was night time when we are having an activity in the school! [/i]

it doesn't bother me anymore than anyone of any age kissing. unless they're being really over the top, as teenagers often are, having not fully mastered discretion. but it doesn't bother me. I just ignore it.

Yeah its kinda awkward, but we are in the generation where these kind of things are already accepted and practiced, I think we must get used to it. I have encountered this also but I usually look at a second or so but then ignore them latter. Most people though are very open to show their affection, its how I view that as well. Happy mylotting !

When you are a teenager and think you are in love, there is not much you care about than your better half. I would not mind seeing them kiss, coz it's natural and i'd rather have them kiss than shoot each other (i know i sound extreme but...) You see there is always a limit though. Some young persons tend to be completely obscene in public places. I think if am with my parents or kids and seeing two young persons kissing and caressing, and behaving like untamed dogs, then yeah, i'd feel like kicking them. But if it's pure simple kiss, it's ok with me...i mean even i've done that.

I think that's the generation now...I will really feel awkward, but I would just ignore it, it's their life, they should be liable to their actions and who cares they are the one whose being ashamed to the public...but i think right now, that's been acceptable, not unless there is more than to that...you know what i mean, then that would be improper enough...
