A PDA relationship, or Public Display of Affection relationship, is a romantic relationship where couples show physical affection, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing, or cuddling, in public settings. PDA is a way for couples to openly express their love and general affection for each other, sharing their emotional connection with the world around them. It can include gestures that convey intimacy, warmth, and a sense of togetherness, reinforcing the bond between partners. However, the acceptability of PDA varies with respect to culture, society, and individuals, and some people may frown upon certain types of PDA. PDA can be a reflection of a couple that is secure and confident in their relationship, but for some, it could be a way to overcompensate for feelings of insecurity in the relationship or a way to signal to other people that they are more connected than they might actually be.
