20 years ago, I dated a guy and we fell in love. He started kissing me in my forehead after we fell in love. One day, I asked him why did he kiss me there. I liked it, I just wanted to know why. He told me it was because I was his and he was mine and the love he has for me is more than can be explained. We were young then, but our love wasn't if you understand that. Unfortunately, we broke up. It was a heartbreaking break up. I was close to his sister so, I stayed touch with them for about a year after he and I broke up. After awhile, I lost contact with them.
May 2014, this friend request pops up on my FB with the name of this woman I recognized, but couldn't remember where I know the name from. When it dawned on me that it was his little sister, I accepted, and I was excited about getting back in contact with her. The very next day, I get a IM from her brother. Now, at first I didn't respond. I didn't know what to do. So, I waited a day. The next day, he hits me up again in the IM asking if I remembered him and he described a Valentine's Day gift I got for him on year. Laughing, I responded and thus began our getting back in contact.
I saw him a few months later. He draped his arms around me in a huge embrace, and he kissed me on my forehead. The action was so natural, that I didn't question it. He tells me, "It's been a long time since I kissed your forehead." And he kisses it again and hugs me tighter.
His explanation of the forehead kiss 20 years ago is still as true now, as it was then. We have this connection that is indescribable. It's this connection that even though I hadn't seen him 20 years, it's like what we meant to each other then, means the same now. We both have married and divorced. We have even discussed our break up and he said that was one of his regrets. So, the meaning of a forehead kiss is deeper than a normal kiss. It's a love that is unmatched and deeper than many of us know. And it lasts even after the person is no longer there.

It means he REALLY cares about you. When guys kiss me on the forehead, I like it more than anywhere else because it means a lot more. It is like. A kiss in the rain.
Many guys hate showing that kind of affection. But when they do; its just really cute.
So he cares about you, and likes you a lot regardless of anything like a break-up!
It means that she doesn't only love you. It means that you're the most important person for him, that you are part of his happiness (if not his happiness itself ) It means that god only knows the way he feels about you. That he has always loved you, that he loves you and that he will always love you. That he will always be there for you no matter what you say or do. That he will always forgive you :'(
I'm telling you this because in my 30 years I've only kissed "one girl" in the forehead a girl , a girl that I don't only love, a special someone I'll never forget.
So yeah consider yourself fortunate, For some of us kissing a girl in the forehead is the ultimate act of passion.
Please forgive me ! I'll never forget you Ashley :'( !
A kiss on the lips before he leaves is something that is almost second nature now to any couple. A kiss on the forehead means that there's something more in that relationship. He wants to be there for you even if you guys are just friends. Its unfortunate that you guys broke up, but this guy seems like he truly cares about you. I'm guessing he doesn't do this to all of his other female friends, so you'll probably still mean that much more to him than everyone else.

It's simply a sign of affection. I'm sure for some people, at times, it can mean more, but most of the time, it's just that.
In my culture it means respect in general. We kiss older people on the forehead (parents, grandparents , teachers...) People with more knowledge and wisdom.
But some couple do it and it's an act of respect as-well.He likes her. I did it as a first kiss with my girlfriend.
The responses here are divided... I don’t quite know what it means but it feels incredibly special.
I agree with him. I just had a tough relationship with my ex because we had started dating when we graduated high school and when she went off to college which was 2 hours away from where I was she begun to lose entrust because I couldn't always be there for her to like watch movies or do anything with her. So she said the distance just wasn't working out and so when she explained her reasoning it broke my heart for one because she was my first decent relationship and she meant a lot to me. So after months of not really knowing where our relationship stood i finally understood that she had moved on and found another guy at her school and it was time for me to do the same. She said that she was happy and told me that I deserved to be happy as well because I was too good of a guy to her and that I was too good of a guy to not be hapoy either. So beofre she left back to school with 5 ears in my eyes I gave her a big tight hug and kissed her on the for head to let her know that she was my first love and always would be and that she would always have a special place in my heart. - Jonathan Husley
Kissing on the forehead implies caring, besides it is one spot which is kinda safest to kiss if the girl is not your girlfriend...BUT you have a thing for her. :) If he did that deliberately in front of your friends then may be he wants them to think that you two are dating and ask you about it, kinda making you think on those lines.
Also, it could be just for the moment. As you said you two were very close & I am assuming you are shorter than him, so he just did it spontaneously without giving it a 2nd thought as to why is he doing it.
I would do that to the girl I like :P, so can't rule out the possibility of him caring about you. :)Don't listen to the video they are wrong. To kiss someone on the forehead is to say you love them. Were as a kiss on the lips mean you want to get in there pants. But when I say Love I don't mean Romantic Love, but True Love, like the love of a Parent to a child, or a child to a parent, like the love between siblings, and yes the love a significant other. I this type of love is the strongest kind of love, because I has no end, and to kiss someone on their forehead you are kissing them on the third eye chakra which is the gateway to the soul.
A forehead kiss is a high form of adoration. It means that the guy doesn't only like/love you but also adores you, feels responsible for you in a way that is beyond mere sexual or mental desire. It is selfless. I hope this guy is genuine and isn't abusing this symbol of extreme affection.
~ wisemanYeah... that video maybe true for many people, but not me. There's only been one girl that I've kissed on the forehead. She was one of the most special women to me and although I'd kiss her on the lips and, well, everywhere, the forehead kiss was special. I think it originated because she was short and one day couldn't give me her lips for some reason (preoccupied with something) so I kissed her on the forehead instead. We both really liked it, so it became a thing. Even still when I see her, I kiss her on the forehead and it still means just as much.
My boyfriend always does this and I love it. I'm his first serious relationship and he's mine too but I've had a few sorta serious relationships and nobody ever kissed me on my head before, just on the lips but me and my boyfriend were laying together and he kissed my forehead, cheek, and then he took my hand and laid it across him and then picked it up and kissed it like in a sorta sequence and it was so cute! Now he kisses my cheek a lot and he'll take my hand and kiss it or when we leave and have a moment alone, he's a lot taller than me to just to add haha, he'll take my face in his hand and kiss my forehead then he'll kiss my lips and say "I love you" ❤️
I love him haha and like I said this is his first serious relationship and it's both of our first times ever saying "I love you" to our significant others and it's my first time being regularly kissed on the forehead by a guy so I think it's a first love/I really care about you type of thing. :)well the forehead kiss symbolizes I care about you or you worry me too much, or you need to relax. ( Maybe sometimes all of the above.) Most of my girl friends, (not lovers lol) like the idea of me hugging them sometimes accidentally I would kiss the top of their head. I used to do this to my sister and then somehow it spread to my friends as well. I mean nothing by it, I don't or try to flirt or anything, just I think its a way of showing much I care as a friend for another friend. I think people should do this among friends who they have been friends with for more then 2 years or something.
if I were to kiss a girl on the forehead it would mean I really love her, and she means everything to me. a kiss on the lips to me is a bit more dirty and shows slight sexual innuendo, I wouldn't necessarily kiss a girl on the lips - if I were married to the girl then I would kiss on the lip - a lot. I guess to me, the kiss on the forehead is more of a kiss that says I really really love you, and I totally respect you and your position in this relationship.
In my opinion a kiss on the forehead is one of the most clear signs of deep feelings, love and respect for the other person. I kiss my girlfriend on the forehead quite often, and it's the first girl I've ever done that with. Didn't do that with my previous girlfriends. And I know I haven't feel the same way with all of them.A kiss on the forehead I would say that he deeply cares about you. That he protects you and feels as if your really special. I think its a sign that he is showing you that he would be there for you when you need him.
As the others said, I won't kiss any girl on the forehead unless I truly care for her and want to look out for her.
Kissing a girl on the forehead is akin to the love and support one would get from a parent. If you think about it, I think it even has its origins in this as many parents would kiss their (small) kids good night or when they are heading out on the forehead.My fiance has always done this to me. Granted he is 2' taller than me, but I asked him myself why he hardly ever kisses me on the lips and always on the forehead. He said, when a man kisses a woman on the forehead it is a term of endearment. It means she means more to him than just a roll in the sack and that he truly cherishes her. I used to always get mad that he never kissed me on the lips but when he explained it to me (and of course I asked others) I didn't mind it so much anymore. I miss those forehead kisses now and would give anything to get one.
It means we really APPRECIATE you aside from sex...it's a real compliment. I hope it happens to you many times!
If a family member does it, it's a sign of protection and good luck.
If a woman does it, it means the kiss of death.
If a guy does it, he's playing with your head and makes you to want to believe that he really loves you, so you'll probably have sex with him again and be more open for kinkier stuff.Might be something here
medium.com/.../the-real-meaning-behind-a-forehead-kiss-from-a-guy-f2584d7532d5I don't think it means anything special. But maybe he means something with it.
A guy that always left me hanging did kiss me on the forehead, and I loved that. I loved him, but he didn't love me back. So not in every case... But in your case it probably means he loves you
