4. Public Display Of Affection
I think the more reasons why people would love to be in the open with their partners is for people to know who they are dating.
I for one would love the entire world to know the person I am dating— I mean why should I be with someone who does not want the world to know I am with them?. I understand people would want to find “bae” and keep bae private but even that I still would not fathom and accept whatever explanations you would fabricate.
You are no celeb and even these celebs love flaunting their partners into our open faces so why would you not hold my hands in public, hold my waist at the malls , take a Selfie with me at the beach or kiss my forehead in the midst of your friends.?
Don’t tell me you are shy because you have gone down and dirty and the people you are seeing , there is a chance you may never meet again so I will not buy into the shy lie either.
You leave me to pick between only two alternatives— it is either you are a playboy and may have other side chicks around or you are simply unromantic and I say you are simply unromantic. I am yours, letting the world know is not that hard.
I think I am done here and as I said earlier, not all of our men are members of the unromantic club. I have met quite a few who made me live the fairy tale.
Scratching my head as to why an article addressing an issue between African men and women has a white couple as the main image. As Africans several generations removed from the continent and forced to live in America, we look up to you. Having never been enslaved and never having your connection to Mother Africa interrupted, we admire you and long to live in a country, as you do, where positive black imagery can flourish. To see this front and center feels like the same white supremacy brainwashing we’ve been battered with here. Unexpected and jolting to find it in an African publication. Why? Or what am I missing?
