Dear Dave,
I’m a 29-year-old gay man who’s been dating a guy I met online about eight weeks ago. We’re very attracted to each other and equally interested in a relationship. My problem is that he’s big into public displays of affection everywhere we go. At first, I noticed it when he wanted to hold hands outside after our second dinner date. Last week at a friend’s party, he wanted to kiss in front of my friends and then got irritated when I was uncomfortable with that. He thinks I am uptight about this. I’ve never been in this situation before… Any suggestions for how to handle?
