I’m a very affectionate person. My boyfriend gets embarrassed by my touchy-feely ways in public. He comes from a family where they don’t even hug. Do you have any suggestions on how I can show him some love in public, without embarassing him? - Christina, Brownsville
I’m a lot like you…I love being affectionate in private and in public. Try some of these sweet subtle moves. When hanging with a group of friends or just the two of you, gently play with his hair or scratch the back of his head. This makes him feel very relaxed and comfortable. Try rubbing his back when you’re standing or walking, softly moving up and down the spine. Give him a quick kiss on the cheek. It’s happens so fast that he won’t have time to be embarassed. Place your hand on his arm when he’s talking.

I met a girl recently at a bar and asked for her phone number. After talking on the phone a few times, I asked if I could take her out on a date. I’m not sure where to take her on a first date. I’m 25 and she’s 23. We both like to go out to bars, but I want to take her somewhere that we can have a conversation where I can get to know her better. What would be a good place to go to?
Personally, I would want to go to dinner or a cafe. Or a quiet bar where the music won’t drown out our conversation. Also, you can’t really talk at a movie, so if you do that, I would suggest going somewhere else afterward. Getting ice cream is always fun, too.
