Kissing platonic friends on the cheek?
I know its just a fun thing, but I never really know what to do. Like when you're posing for the camera do you just get your lips close enough to show that you've kissed or do you do a normal, non sexual peck?
And whats the best way to pose when you're the one being kissed other than looking away and pouting (I can't pull it off) ?

Over analysing very much I think.

Re: Kissing platonic friends on the cheek?So what about other times? and does that mean that some may have a problem with it? also do guys usually initiate it or girls? I, as a guy would have no interest in something like that unless I was quite drunk.(Original post by Krish4791)
Normal, non-sexual peck sometimes if there's no problem with it - if they're also feeling playful, they give one back; I don't think anyone minds too much if it's not passionate -
Re: Kissing platonic friends on the cheek?Ok just to clarify I meant "most of the time" rather than "sometimes", and sure of course some girls may have a problem with it and misinterpret it as you liking them. Thirdly, I suppose girls do it more than guys - my girl friends gave me couple of pecks and I responded for a photo so I suppose guys tend not to initiate that sort of thing. Other thing is, if you're going to give someone a platonic kiss, make sure they are feeling in a good mood. If they're not, then this could once again be open to misinterpretation.(Original post by Anonymous)

Re: Kissing platonic friends on the cheek?
It's very common with some people, some give big kisses, some fake it, generally you only do it with someone you're close to but I've had strangers do it for photo's many times.. generally it's only girls that initiate the photo cheek kiss.. I can only think of once that a guy initiated it, and he was a housemate with platonic feelings only. It's very friendly, done by confident people.. I wouldn't read too much into it unless it lingers, and obviously so.

British people expressing emotion in public? The start of the downfall of civilisation in this country. Whatever next, we'll be dressing appropriately in hot weather and speaking the local language when on holiday abroad!
