	My romantic partner and I do this quite often, as a matter of fact
it is hard to keep us from not holding hands and stealing kisses.  We often
say later how we made so and so sick from our PDA.  I usually smile and say
"Yes, I know...Terrible wasn't it.." and laugh.  I think if your are not 
all over eachother like a 'Cheap Suit' and be as tasteful as possible you
should be fine, and if you make others stare it is because they are probably
lonely or they are just not used to it, but I find that hard to believe in
todays society.

	I try to hold the door open for anyone if there are people coming in
the door right behind me and I reach it first I automaticaly hold it.  This
action really dumbfounded my romantic partner when we first met as she was
not used to such treatment.  She loves it alot.
