Public displays of affection have an unspoken line that nobody can define until someone crosses it in front of them. Handholding is fine. One good airport kiss is fine. What happened at the Montreal airport was apparently not fine and Ryan O'Donnell has the story.

The line, according to Ryan: a muah muah, maybe one solid kiss, totally acceptable. Two people in their own vortex at an airport who have clearly lost track of how long they've been at it, not fine. And if you want to understand where the upper limit lives, the Calgary Stampede in thirty-five degree heat with beer being served early is apparently the definitive field test.

Nobody can explain the rule. Nobody agrees on where it starts. But somewhere between a hug and a Superbad house party, a line exists and most people know exactly when it gets crossed.

Topics: public displays of affection, PDA too much, Calgary Stampede, airport goodbye, relationship boundaries

RUNDOWN: Ryan O'Donnell draws the PDA line at handholding, one airport kiss, and absolutely nothing that resembles a Superbad house party scene, while nominating the Calgary Stampede as the ultimate test of how far people are willing to go in public.
