    Wouldn't it be actually best to have an almost "secret" relationship? To a person you can really trust, I mean. You don't need anyone to validate a relationship, nor is it anyones business who you like and why. This way, nobody would be interfering, it would be just you and the other person. Everything that matters, actually.

    Wouldn't it depend on if you were deliberately keeping it secret? If you're purposefully keeping it hidden from others...then those others are already interfering, even if that interference is merely by letting your thoughts of them influence your actions in this relationship.

    Ah, idk, I don't even think about loud love as something having to do with boasting with other people about your relationship. More like you know...loud stuff. Idk, like having sex outdoors, lol.

    I like having sex outdoors, without people watching.
    She is wise
    beyond words
    beautiful within
    her soul
    brighter than
    the sun
    lovelier than
    love
    dreams larger
    than life
    and does not
    understand the
    meaning of no.
    Because everything
    through her, and in her, is
    "Yes, it will be done."

    True, but not many people can figure it out unless you tell them at least once.
    you abbie

    I like being worshipped by a group of isolated primitives for my great height and seven heads.
    OUR GODDESS HAS ARRIVED;
    let us bow down our heads in worship
    and kiss her decimal toes,
    for we would kiss her
    on her 7 lips but
    but we fear her flaring nose.

    And besides we're too damn short to reach it.
    She is wise
    beyond words
    beautiful within
    her soul
    brighter than
    the sun
    lovelier than
    love
    dreams larger
    than life
    and does not
    understand the
    meaning of no.

    I don't like PDA around family members. The thought of scarring their memory of me with something so insignificant as a french kiss is frightening to me. I think it's most comforting when done around other couples, since I tend to notice how the "third wheel" in my party (namely, those who are single), are disgusted with open displays of affection. Quiet love is more preferable, because it saves all of the "guster you could muster" for "I love you's" in a powerful way.

    for any feeling to be genuine one ought not to be ashamed to outwardly transmit it's expression.

    Yes of course, that's why I put the "secret" in quotation marks. It wouldn't be very good for your relationship if nobody is allowed to know about it.

    It's a matter of taste, I didn't want to say that "loud" expressions of love are necessarily attention-seeking. There are certainly a many people who would feel constrained if they weren't allowed to show their love openly. But I handle most personal things very secretive, anyway.

    Mostly quiet. Though I am not opposed to public hand-holding, snuggling, and kissing (within limits), and telling people I love them-- whether in public or in private. I'm not going to paint it on a billboard, though. My husband and I both say "I love you" to each other often, and also to our kids. I'll yell it across a parking lot if I really feel the urge, though my husband prefers the quiet "I love you" hand signal that he picked up from his parents and taught to me (holding out thumb, index finger, and pinky, to make the letters "I L U").

    Verbal affirmation is very important, though it should always be backed up with loving actions.

    Omg this kind of stuff would creep me out. Like I would feel the need to shout it as loud as I can to contrast the strong dampening and stifling of emotions this kind of stuff implies.

    As far as emotions go, I prefer implicitness.

    Why? I shouldn't have to tell someone how I feel about them, especially not people I love.

    For me? Yes, absolutely. For most people I know, not really. Or perhaps I'm wrong.
