What does it mean if a girl says, "You're so sweet!" and kisses you on the cheek?

She didn't say it jokingly or sarcastically or all giddy. It was genuine.

Tsk, please disregard these guys saying a girl only kisses you on the cheek if she's friendzoning you.
I have kissed guys on the cheek and I liked them as MORE than friends! I have kissed crushes and guys I'm dating on the cheek.
It really depends on the girl and why she kissed you in the first place.

I can tell you this much, most women don't kiss a guy at all unless she likes him- as a close friend, or more. Yes, there's a chance it was a friendly kiss on the cheek, not even going to deny that or get your hopes up too much. But more than likely, she did it as a way to say she cares about you.

Yeah, if girls do that to me, I Get fully convinced that she likes me.

[Charlie04]

it might depend on her age and how long you've known her but I wouldn't kiss a guy on his cheek unless I wanted him to know I liked him.

[Charlie04]

thanks for the MHO x

[okayaper15]

That's a good point. I would actually appreciate it, if girls let me know that she likes me. Then I get fully convinced, that I am doing a good job of trying to get girls to like me.

She's into you!! Usually means she likes you and wants a relationship with you!!! Girls don't kiss guys for nothing, especially on the cheek!!! Kiss her back

girls don't kiss guys, THEY DON"T LIKE

[BrownSugar00]

It could either mean that she wants to keep the friendship she has with you the same or that she wants what you guys already have to become more than friends.

Yesterday, I kissed the guy who I have feelings for on the cheek. We were messaging each other for a couple of months, starting in June. He eventually told me that he wasn't ready for a relationship at the moment, and wanted to be friends. I told him whether he ends up with me or someone else, I wanted him to be happy and that I'm here for him, while holding hand.

Moving on, he was walking out the door when I called his name. He turned around and I asked him if he was OK. He said yes and that he was gonna go meet someone. As he was turning around, I held out my arms for a hug. He turned around and I approached him and hugged him around the shoulders and he hugged back. After a couple a seconds, as he was pulling away, I tuned my head and kissed him on his right cheek for a couple of seconds before letting go. He didn't pull away, move or anything. I said my goodbye and we both turned and walked. The reason why I kissed him on the cheek was to show him that I am here for him and that I have affection for him 💕 That's the reason why I kissed him on his cheek. The next day, I asked him if he felt uncomfortable and how did he feel? He said that it felt normal. I said ok with a smile awkwardly and walked away.

Depending on the situation in which she kissed you on the cheek.

Reasons girls kiss guys on the cheek:

1. Some girls just like to kiss their guy friends on the cheek
2. Some girls kiss their SO on the cheek because it hold the same value as a guy kissing a girl on the forehead.
3. Some girls some kiss a guy on the cheek because they couldn't build up enough courage to go for the lips. Meaning she wants you to kiss her back on the lips.

Personally, I wouldn't kiss a guy on the cheek if I didn't see him in a romantic way. So she could be saying that she likes you as more than just a friend and took the opportunity at hand to undermine it on the off chance that you don't like her back

[Saville_Row]

I can tell you that the only person I feel like kissing their cheek is usually someone I'm into. Sure, I can kiss you on the cheek to say goodbye, but spontaneously? Nope.

Also, saying you're sweet. I like sweet and cute. All women like sweet and cute. That's not friendzone.

[ChurchOfIron]

Personally I think the cheek kiss is usually a "friend kiss", unless you already have an intimate relationship.

At base value, it's an obvious sign of affection. But it doesn't really say by itself whether it is romantic affection or platonic affection.

[Belgie]

That's the thing about women, it could mean ANYTHING as their various replies should show you. They don't know what it means. None of them do.

That's why the truth is, it doesn't matter. The only question worth a damn is DO YOU LIKE HER? If so, ask her out.

[Dionigi]

It means that you did something sweet to her and she appreciates it. Same as if a guy hugs you saying "you are great".
Society says that a girl's gift is precious and can be used as a trading good. So you did something for her, she kissed your cheek, now you are even.

[Dionigi]

*a girl's kiss

[Anonymous]

It depends on the girl. Is she the flirting extroverted type, someone who does that to other guys and people in general?

Chances are she likes you though.
I would hardly go around kissing guys on the cheek whom I thought of as just friends. Didn't want them to get the wrong idea.

[Asker]

She doesn't do that to other guys. And she isn't all flirty and extroverted, prefers to only talk to her friends and avoid new people.

[okayaper15]

Just because you think of a guy as friends, absolutely Does not mean that they will get the wrong idea. Like if a girl would kiss me on the cheek, I would never get the wrong idea.

[Ranger2019]

Well... still hard to tell, i think you have a way better idea than us as to what it means. Its just so common, my sister will do that... my mom will do that, and just friends and crushers... just hard to determine.
I'll give ya what i got.
She doesn't hate you, she doesn't think you have a rare virus, and she thinks you're sweet.

[newPython]

If a guy kisses a girl on the cheeks, it means he likes her. If a girl kisses a guy on the cheek, it does not necessarily mean she likes him.

[cth96190]

What does it mean?
Friend Zone.
It means the Friend Zone.

[Tmaro1187]

So, I did this to my guy the other morning after waking up at his place. For me, it was a way to show him I loved him and care for him as I got up to get ready for work. We haven't said the "ILY" yet, but I wanted a subtle way to show him my affection beyond a kiss on the lips. I feel like the kiss on the cheek for a guy is the equivalent of the kiss on the forehead for a girl. It's sweet and caring... let it be that.

[okayaper15]

If a girl kisses you on the cheek, then that means she likes you. There is absolutely NOTHING I actually would absolutely love it if girls would do that to me. That is how I know they like me, or enjoy being around me. The problem is trying to get them to like you enough to give you a kiss on the cheek. I want to know that a girl actually likes me.

[NicolaD]

It means that she thinks you're sweet. I know that's not much of an answer but it's affection not love but I could end up that way if you both want it.

[sockandshoes]

i think its a good thing. it depends. i would never kiss a guy unless i liked him so, maybe thats it. all the guys saying “friendzoned” here struggle to get a hug from a regular girl lol

[uktocan]

Lmao I've never struggled not once

[sockandshoes]

good for u

[uktocan]

I'm just saying from my experience when a woman kisses you on the cheek and says you're so sweet she doesn't see you as potential as a potential partner...

[Saris1]

Depends on your relationship and duration.

If you're not like longtime 'bros' ... she may be trying to tell you that she likes you likes you.

[Áshal]

Depends on her age. If it’s an older woman she didn’t mean anything by it. If she’s younger she’s flirting and trying to see where your interests are.

[rock4real]

Not always it means love or sexual feelings because girls also kiss at cheek someone normally whom she respect or faith like a good friend

[Eternal_Blizzard]

You did something nice and she loved it...
OR
You are her nephew

[BeeNee]

I think she’s just being sweet to you. Unless there is some follow up i would say she is a friend.
