Can a kiss on the cheek ever be romantic?

[coachTanthony]

Yes it can

Nah

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Oh, yes it can. Absolutely it can. Watch...

They stood in the doorway. Neither wanted to part ways, but there wasn't any excuse to stay.

"I'd best go now" He said.

The rain drenched his head as he stepped out from under the portico.

"Wait!"

He turned. She reached for his hand, and squeezed it gently. Then she stood on her tiptoes, running her hand up his arm. Her other hand skimmed the stubble on his cheek. Then, she turned his head and pressed her lips to his cheek. Softly. Slowly. She bit ever so gently, then trailed her lips down his jawline as she pulled away...

I'll let imagination take it from there... :)

We have a romantic author in gag

[DishLady]

Yeah, of course. It’s all about the speed at which you approach one another, building chemistry and anticipation as you very slowly get closer. It’s a bit of a tease when you have to pass the lips to turn for the cheek, but the two of you should feel the intent. Hold the person’s hand before you start leaning in, caress the fingers a little so the person knows it’s an endearment rather than a simple hello/goodbye.

I think any kind of kiss is romantic. Romance doesn’t necessarily need to be about relationships. A family member can kiss you on the cheek, and I would consider that a romantic way to show your family member you love them (but not in a sexual way obviously)

[OlderAndWiser]

A kiss on the cheek can linger suggestively or lead to a nuzzle or nibble of the ear lobe with a soft whisper promising more to come over time. Oh yeah!

[thegreenyogi]

It really depends on the context. If a guy gives a girl a sweet kiss on the cheek because he lacks courage to go for a kiss on the mouth or the other way around if it's a girl kissing a guy on the cheek I think it's really sweet and can be romantic in it's own way.

[electromagnetic]

It definitely is romantic. I think culture for most, cheek kisses are used for family members and friends we haven’t seen in a while.
but if my husband kisses my cheek, I’m dropping panties.

[WindAtMyBack]

Yup. My last kiss on the cheek was a strong message that I was making progress when I thought there was no way. It took me by surprise and made my heart flutter. I didn't think I had a chance and suddenly realized that I did.

[gayesblog]

Sure, why not? I think it conveys affection and tenderness, especially when given spontaneously or in a moment of emotional intimacy. It's a gentle gesture that can express deep feelings of love and care. :)

[RavVid]

So called kiss on the cheek are usually touching cheeks together. But occasionally a genuine kiss on the cheek has been erotic.

It could convey a promise of more into the future as a peck on the lips can and be both erotic and romantic

[paledreams]

If it's in a rantic context sure, if I had a girlfriend I'd give her cheek kisses from time to time if I really liked her face cheeks as much as :) ♀️ 👄🫦👀

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

Can be, but I think it gives friendly vibes.

[Nikki1989]

I give cheek kisses to almost everyone I know. Trust me, there is no romance in it.

[OfMiceandMen]

I suppose it could be, but I typically equate it to a friendly gesture.

[DrPepper12]

Its for family or very close friends. Its platonic and a step up in non sexual intimacy.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Yeah. People give kisses on cheeks to their partner all of the time as a quick way to say goodbye & love you to them.

[avery58]

Yeah but not a fake cheek kiss like in that picture. A cheek kiss can be romantic since it's the most innocent and platonic type of kiss.

[FearlessFlame]

Clearly someone pays you for all these questions...

[Kelly6]

I give it to everyone, so no it's not romantic

[Dongie]

Yes it can. It can be the meaning or subconscious to the meaning that holds the jewels.

[NathanDavis]

for damned sure...

[Wiredone]

Almost any type of kiss can be romantic

[Tuti-iMucize]

no, it's very ordinary

[dustybiker2]

Absolutely.

[dustybiker2]

Add in a closer lean, a tension building linger and various intakes of air. A warm whisper, perhaps. You have a decent scene to draw attention from passersby.

[KostasKouvalis]

Definitely, yes

[msc545]

Maybe sometimes it can be.
