'My girlfriend is allergic to PDA'

She's extremely shy and doesn't believe in public display of affection (PDA). I know I should not force my girl to do anything against her wish but I am keen she reciprocate my feelings. She still prefers to be shy and coy. How should I convince her?

Dear Parth,
You seem to be on an overdrive when it comes to getting physical while she is playing safe. She has her reasons to go slow so you have to respect her wishes. Meanwhile why don't you speak to her and tell her how you feel. It looks like both of you are mismatched. You seem to have a high sex drive who wants the woman to make him feel the centre of the universe giving undivided attention. While she does not want too much of getting lovey dovey. This does not however mean that she likes you any less. Respect the way she is.u00a0
