PDA- Public Display of Affection: sounds cheesy! Right?? But sometimes it becomes imperative to do
that!
With the digitization of everything and all of us living
in our own small worlds, social media has become the new lanes where you stroll
hand in hand by posting pictures or posting lovey dovey comments on each
other’s posts and thus, the PDA!
Everything about PDA comes with a long train of criticism as
well. There are tons of articles which tell you in how many ways the couples
are just gross if they express love to each other in public. I have been part
of that community as well, and more because I think, till then I wasn't getting
any myself.
Doing PDA in just the right limits can keep you off from social
criticism as well as help to build your bond stronger.
· With no ‘Good Morning’ messages ritual now, you
wake up to a notification that your ‘louve’ has dropped a super sweet comment
on your picture – not just admiring but how that sweetness has kept him stuck
to you all these years- morning made right then and there!
· Mutual friends and those reading every single
comment of your pictures also get to know that the bond is going strong! This also
goes for the secret admirers who are still secretly hoping for your break up.
· Take it or not, real life compliments come
rare! In that case a well edited picture
can help you get some much needed admiration :P #selfesteemboost
· Once you do any activity on any post, you
automatically ‘follow’ that post and hence receive all the further activity.
This might also give you about 5-10mins of discussion in your daily telephonic
ritual especially when you have been in love for too many years and already drained
out of topics.
· It gives a sense that your better half is
overall interested in your life – when half your life is spent sitting in front
of a computer. And off course you can also get to know their other friends
which will only add two more twinkles in their eyes that you care enough about
them
· You just keep feeling you are still in love!
But as I have also been a part of the hater’s
community, there is also a little piece of advice
Word of Caution
·
DON’T OVERDO IT! Love is not what is there for
public display in your social online world but a little expression of it shows the
commitment and keeps the life spiced up!
·
KEEP IT RARE! Keeping it rare will also keep the
value of your compliment and the surprise along alive. Just doing it on every
post will only irritate and you will lose that precious mental admiration in
revert.
·
DON’T SPAM please for God’s sake! People hate it when they are personally going
through a rough love phase themselves and all they get to see on their feed is
couples getting all cuddly – be human!
So, PDA – because it’s
as important as holding hands in public to make your beau safe and loved !!
PS- Once more I want to say – DON’T OVERDO IT!
