Responding After a Kiss
Kissing someone can be an incredibly intimate and passionate experience. With so many emotions and sensations involved in a kiss, it can be a challenge to find the right words and actions to follow up the moment. Here are some tips to help you respond after a kiss in a way that honors and celebrates the moment.
Things to Do:
- Express your enjoyment. After a kiss, it's good to let your partner know how much you enjoyed it. Behavioral gestures, like a smile, can be meaningful. Words can also be very powerful. For instance, you can say something like, "That was really nice."
- Give physical feedback. Touch is an essential part of many relationships. Give your partner a hug, rub the back of their neck, and/or put your hand lingeringly on their arm. This type of physical feedback helps to communicate your appreciation for the kiss and helps to strengthen the bond between you.
- Stay engaged. Don't break apart abruptly and look away. Share a few moments of eye contact, affectionate silence, or gentle caresses to let your partner know that you enjoyed the experience and rooted in the moment.
Things to Avoid:
- Don't overanalyze. Don't get stuck in your head trying to dissect and judge the moment. Enjoy it, savor it, and don't second-guess yourself.
- Don't discuss it. Do not try to verbalize the experience right after it has happened. You can certainly talk about it later, but try to stay in the moment and stay focused on your partner.
- Don't take it too far. Don't assume that a kiss means that it's time to jump into a full-blown physical relationship. Make sure that both of you are comfortable and on the same page.
By following these suggestions, you can help ensure that your response to a kiss is meaningful and reflective of how much you care for your partner.
