If a friend you are attracted to kissed you, do you enjoy it and hope they want to take it further OR do you just enjoy the moment?

[VIVANT]

🤔 Hmm what to say I mean I think I covered it in the Q and the poll options lol

I hope they want to go further as in DATE and I’d be disappointed if not.

I hope they want to go further as in SEX & I’d be disappointed if not.

I just sit back and enjoy the ride either way.

What I’d expect Depends really on if I trust them etc.

Other.

If she knew I was attracted (and often times people can tell) I'd be in a position that makes me borderline angry because if the kiss is just some tease then she's playing with my emotions.

That being said I often try not to develop deep attraction towards someone unless I'm already actively trying to be with the person.

The sideline crush that does nothing but hurt is something I've lived through enough times growing up

[VIVANT]

🤔 Hm that’s fair in my opinion I’d feel similar if someone thought I liked them, used it to steel a kiss then f’ed off.. tho.. I suppose if she asks first &you concede, it’s fair game 😛 but if she randomly face attacks you then it’s defo not cool 👍🏼

I know people think asking is lame but I think you can do it in way that is playful & doesn’t make it awkward egoist jetting everyone have a curve to de use to come to the table or be excused 😌

[ZackBan]

Asking does make it "fair game" but it doesn't make it any less painful if it's a crush giving you a taste of something you can't have.

But in a case like that I would probably take the kiss because it beats turning it down

[VIVANT]

😂 oh no you’re right!! It’s kinda worse bc now the person has only themselves to blame bc yeah who wants to miss that! Ugh 😑 cruel world we live in.

[Jamie05rhs]

"Asking does make it "fair game" but it doesn't make it any less painful if it's a crush giving you a taste of something you can't have."
And THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why I don't want to kiss a girl until we are official!!

Thank you for pointing that out, Zack! 👍👍

[Jamie05rhs]

But I would NOT take this kiss.
No sir.
No ma'am.

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT who wants to miss what?

[ZackBan]

@Jamie05rhs I should've elaborated on why I would take the kiss.

If a girl knowingly toys with my emotions like that then the sensible thing for me is to move on from her. She's a bad person.

Taking the kiss is a step towards closure and also a subtle way to get even as girls rarely kiss someone with no emotions involved. Meaning if you kiss her passionately enough she'll remember it and with time might come to regret the games she played (by then it would be too late of course) but you get to walk away knowing that it wasn't just you who got played

[Jamie05rhs]

@ZackBan Nahh. F that, dawg. I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree personally; sorry. In fact, my view is the exact opposite. You'd be taking back your power by denying them that kiss. It shows that you respect yourself and you're not going to let anyone take anything from you.

[VIVANT]

😂 exactly how I’d handle it I guess depending on how you approach it you can feel empowered or just sad

[ZackBan]

Both. I'd say it's both.
The ideal outcome is that it never comes to that but life can be less than ideal sometimes

[Jamie05rhs]

I don't believe in ever taking anything physically from anyone for selfish reasons. Even if it's consensual and they want to give it to you. I'm sorry, but that's just not how I roll.

[VIVANT]

@Jamie05rhs

But they want to give it to you that’s the whole scenario lol if someone wants to kiss me and I think they’re toying with me sure I’ll kiss them but I won’t date them

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT. I know. I understand that. But I wouldn't let her kiss me. Because I don't want anyone putting their lips on mine if they don't love me. That's gross to me.

[ZackBan]

Yeah it's more than fair. Different people put different stock in kissing.

If to you it's something that you value and would only share with a real partner then good on you for not kissing strangers for the hell of it.

I personally don't think kissing is such a major activity which is why I wouldn't mind giving someone a "loveless kiss"

[Jamie05rhs]

@ZackBan Thanks, man. I appreciate you understanding.

[VIVANT]

@Jamie05rhs

Oh I totally get that Jamie I think I oscillate between that and couldn’t care less 😂

[Jamie05rhs]

Thanks, @VIVANT. 😊

[Sevenpointfive]

i've done this to someone before. she asked me why i did it. i boldly said because i wanted to. i backed off a little but she invited me to her room. played hard to get for a few minutes and then we had sex. oddly enough, she wasn't into kissing

[VIVANT]

Wait what did you do? Which side lol

[Sevenpointfive]

yeah. it's quite a story. i don't know if i coerced her or if she wanted to? all i know is that she didn't want to kiss.

[VIVANT]

So you’re the one who kissed her? If she kissed back it’s not coercion unless under threat

[Sevenpointfive]

she kissed my dick but wasn't into kissing me on the lips. i guess she didn't want to get emotionally intimate

[KatherineJ]

Sometimes it’s just better to be in that moment. If more is going to happen, it will. But we spend so much time on next steps that we miss enjoying that moment in time.

[VIVANT]

I agree 💯

[Pinay_ako]

Enjoy the moment and make sure they won’t forget the day I kissed him back. It will be one of his top moments.

[AviatorTom]

I enjoy the kiss, and would like more... dating... sex.

[Jamie05rhs]

I would prefer that they asked me permission first. Because I've never been kissed before. And I would honestly prefer to have the agency to say No if I don't want to be kissed at that time.

(If I say no, it doesn't mean I NEVER want to be kissed by that person. It just means that I don't feel comfortable with that yet.)

[Jamie05rhs]

And to answer your question further, No, I don't want anything else to happen after the kiss. I would prefer it to just be a kiss. I don't want to set any kind of precedent of a kiss becoming a gateway to other things.

(by the way, I voted "Other.")

[VIVANT]

I’m with you I actually literally just finished explaining why I’d ask first ☺️

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT Oh! Awesome!! ☺️

[VIVANT]

But @ZackBan made an excellent point and I now doubt everything I thought I knew 😕

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT Oh? Let me look and see what he said.

[Jamie05rhs]

@VIVANT Okay; I responded there.

[Philyouup]

i would enjoy the moment, as pleasure is not bad, and would probably hope for a furtherance of the moment, immediately or over time. But if they didn’t, i’d feel a little disappointment. not becuase if a lost
opportunity for sex, but for emotional closeness

[MementoMori777]

Well if you like the person why not try to take it forward? It is possible if the other doesn't feel the same way it can make things awkward tho

[VIVANT]

Yup can be very awkward.. that is why I think if you def want more or def don’t want more, you should not kiss without data. If you are flexible, then it is safe to proceed 😌

Nothing ruins a moment like someone worrying about what happens ten seconds later in my opinion

[MementoMori777]

Yes mostly with bonds that aren't romantic and the step of romance is just implemented from the blue it can make things very awkward very fast lol

[VIVANT]

Not wayward if you both don’t care or if you both care but since no one can know for sure how the other feels , it’s best to not do it if you know you care and if you care if the other cares. If you’re worried that you want something or they want something, don’t do it 👍🏼 but if you’re ok either way then no problem.

[MementoMori777]

Vivant you seem to already know the response to your question? 😆🤣

[VIVANT]

Lol I know my own opinion of course but I like to know how others feel 😉

[MementoMori777]

Well I can't argue with that Vivant and I completely agree with you 😝💯

[VIVANT]

😂😂😂😅 it’d be fine if you didn’t 🙃

[MementoMori777]

Oof 😂

[VIVANT]

🤷🏻‍♀️🫶🏻

[Anemone978]

I would hope they would date me if not then it would end in just a kiss..

[VIVANT]

👍🏼👍🏼

[worldscolide]

Neither. I would stop her. Im married. I could never participate in that kind of betrayal. Ever.

[VIVANT]

True true!! Well done.

[exitseven]

I would have a conversation about it. It would be a big deal for me.

[VIVANT]

I understand that. I think that’s a good path.

[bannacookies]

Just enjoy the moment and see how things go. For me, that happened and now we date, so who knows what may come out of it. Lol

[VIVANT]

Niiiice! Congress banana 🍌 🥳

[bannacookies]

Thank you. :)

[SnowedIn]

Honestly? I'd hope it would go further but not push it if they didn't want to. Sometimes a kiss really is just a kiss.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would hope that she would want to go further as in dating only and no sex to after marriage, this is morals I like to live by and my spiritual beliefs too.

[Jerre]

I’m hoping the girl wants to take it further and have sex

[Jerre]

@VIVANT Thank you for the Like

[VIVANT]

👍🏼👍🏼

[Bricealan]

Confucius say: " He who expects nothing is never disappointed!"

[Anonymous]

Honestly it's been my experience that the women who show that kind of energy to myself I NEVER see coming. If she kissed me out of the blue like that I'd probably very confused as to what precipitated that. Obviously I don't want to hurt or offend her but I don't want to lead her on either. But she did that out of the blue.

[Juxtapose]

It really depends on the situation but either way I would want to deepen the relationship.

[krin_m]

It may lead to something, it may not. Regardless, it is a nice intimate act! I would enjoy it thoroughly and reciprocate!

[humanearth]

I'm married and my wife would kick my ass.

Besides, I wouldn't let myself get put in that position

[RealMarek]

If I felt we were compatible I would hope for a date. If not, I would enjoy the kiss but take it no further.

[YesToLife]

I believe it depends if I am attracted to that friend of mind

[eagle1951]

take it to the limit

[VIVANT]

😂 right on

[soe11]

I enjoyed very much deep kiss.

[Anonymous]

I'm not attracted to my friends

[VIVANT]

Oh I can’t date a stranger do I’ll be friendly with someone for a king time first. Easier yo say friend then acquaintance you’re attracted to lol

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah I'd rather date an acquaintance because I know him but not well enough. So I'll get to know him but if it doesn't work out he'll stay as my acquaintance. Actually one of my friends I knew since elementary is kinda cute. He's a marine. He's 6'4 and buff. But I wouldn't want to mess up our friendship.

[Kelly6]

I hope they go further as sex

[collie22]

Depends on the kiss

[Alex8736]

I enjoy the moment
