How do you let a guy know you want to kiss him?

[Anonymous]

I've been out a few times with this guy. I know he's into me.

He's hugged me, touched me etc.

How do let him know I want to kiss him without scaring him?

Is there a way of touching him or something?

Hmm that's tough Brooke. With a guy, you never want to like totally scare him away by being too forward, but you also don't want to leave him confused about how you feel.

A couple things that could help show you want more without outright saying it:

- When you're walking together or saying bye, maybe kinda hint that you want a hug that lasts a bit longer than usual. Like linger in the hug a bit and see how he responds.

- If you're sitting close together, your hand might "accidentally" brush against his or your legs could kinda touch. Judge his reaction.

- Lean in a bit closer when you're talking so your faces are nearer. Again, see if he leans in too.

- Compliment him and really look him in the eyes when you do. Guys aren't used to getting complimented!

If he's reciprocating those touches and signs, then he's probably giving you the green light to go for the kiss. Go slowly, smile at him, and if it feels right in the moment then a quick peck on the lips should do the trick! Let me know how it goes.

Wow, that's pretty shy for a man around 40. I started dating after my divorce in my 30's and my dates made it pretty clear when they wanted to be kissed by getting close and making it easy.

Or you could just kiss him yourself.

Next time you two hug keep your face straight and close to him. That should make it clear to him that you want to kiss. But if he shies away you just kiss him. He’s not gonna get upset. If he does ask him what he wants from you
