If a guy is shy and doesn't show affection publicly, but does in private, is he tryna hide the relationship?

Question

If the guy says the way he was raised makes him uncomfortable with certain public affection (from NY) and barely acts like you're together or even like eachother in public but acts sweeter in private, is he being sneaky or just a little insecure?

Answer 1

well.... he might not want to show is relationship to other people, but if you do wanna show your relationship to other people, and to let them noe that u guys are dating, then when you are outside, kiss him, hug him, or nibble on his ear a bit.....lol

if he doesn't approve of it

one day wen u guys r alone, ask him why he doesn't  want other ppl to noe that u guys r dating, u should always make sure that its okay with him too, if u feel that u dont want to be in a relationship that way, break up with him in person, n tell him that u cant be in this kind of relationship anymore

Answer 2

he may be shy in public or depending on how much sweeter he is in private he might be bing sneaky

Answer 3

seems to me he's just insecure or he doesn't want people to konw he's dating you.

Answer 4

insecurity no doubt...well a little doubt...buh thats just my paranoia :P

Answer 5

No, it just means he's very shy in public.

Answer 6

probably doesnt like any unnecessary attention on him or you in public.  that is a personal preference.  if he doesnt even act like youre together though....that is a 'bell' for a control problem.  he is constantly trying to control his environment and you are part of his environment...not his affections.  keep an eye on that one.

Answer 7

Just shy.  That's the way my boyfriend is.  Neither of us are very affectionate in public.  We prefer to keep that to ourselves.

Answer 8

it probably just means

he is very shy in public.

hope this helps  

Answer 9

shy, insecurity and PDA IS GROSS.  

Answer 10

not necessarily .. have you ever asked him what his familys values are? or how did they raise him , it could play a big part in how he acts in public , also some people just arent comfortable showing affection out in public .. i find out whats behind his actions and if you still have a problem with it , them maybe you dont need to be together .  

Answer 11

Sneaky? No. If he's open to you in private just be happy he feels comfortable around you. He doesn't know the people in the outside world so he might be show around them.
