Relationship Issue?

I’m a very affectionate person. And I like to hold hands and cuddle and such. But my boyfriend is very against pta. Which is fine I don’t really wanna be attached by the lips 24/7 out in public all the time either. But sometimes it really hurts my feelings. If I ask to hold his hand in public he will blunty tell me no and that he doesn’t like to do stuff like that in public. And he knows I don’t like that. Any advice?
