Yesterday I went on my first date with my very first girlfriend. It was a movie date, and we kissed in the theater, nothing too major... (Oh, what am I talking about, it was my first kiss! It was AMAZING!) ...but it wasn't like we were making out or anything. xD We were in the back row where no one could see us, so it was all very comfortable and easy and easy for me... until the movie ended.
Once we were out of the theater, she kept trying to hold my hand and kiss my cheek and stuff like that, and it made me very uncomfortable. Now, I know that some people just really aren't into PDA, but... I think that if I was straight and had been with a guy, I wouldn't have been nearly as nervous. Honestly, I think I'm scared of someone seeing me and my girlfriend together and causing trouble. I've heard so many terror stories about gay bashing, and really... I just scared of something bad happening.
So, is my fear rational? Should I be worried? Or should I just suck it up and hold my girlfriend's hand like I really, really want to...
