What couples shouldn’t do in public

Ever been around friends who argue all the time?

NO one likes that…it’s one of the things couples should never do in front of their friends, according to the Daily Mail…it’s not a good look, makes everyone uncomfortable and forces them to choose sides.

Some of the others:

Putting each other down.  Jokes and sarcasm might be okay but there’s a fine line.  Avoid doing anything that might humiliate them in public, or in front of friends.  They could end up resenting you for it even if they act like it’s cool.

Constantly bragging about your relationship.  That one applies even if only one of you is there.  If it comes up naturally, fine.  But people will get sick of you bringing it up on your own, especially your single friends.

Too much PDA, or “public displays of affection.”  Again, it gets old fast and feels awkward.  Especially if you’re out with a “third wheel” who’s on their own.

Inappropriate flirting.  Be careful about flirting with other people while you’re out together, especially their friends.  It can happen by accident without even realizing.

Marking your territory.  That one sometimes happens right AFTER inappropriate flirting, but not always.  Interrupting conversations, being dismissive, and being overly affectionate can all be forms of marking your territory.
