About This Quiz
Find the people you love and hold them close. Oh, that's not your style? That's cool. There's tons of ways you can show affection. A simple kiss on the cheek or even something non-physical like cooking someone dinner can show them just how much you care about them. The key is to find someone who complements your displays of affection. Did you know that someone actually wrote a book dedicated to the five ways people show love? While love and affection don't necessarily mean the same thing, it's an interesting guideline to figure out where you fall on the scale.
Public displays of affection always come under fire. There are some who are more than comfortable making out in public, while some don't even do so much as hold hands. PDA can make some bystanders uncomfortable while for others it brings out a sense of warmth to see couples so happy and in love. Think about yourself. How do you feel about it?
