Kissing reactions
Everyone reacts differently to someone else’s actions, but the hardest part is reading someone’s reactions to
a kiss and trying to figure out what they mean. With the good responses also come the bad. These are the
hardest ones to read but are also the most important. You won’t want to carry on if you know someone is
uncomfortable.
Pulling Away: If someone keeps on pulling away every time you go to kiss them, then this is an obvious sign
you need to put the brakes on. They don’t want to kiss you at this time. There are two reasons for this. The first
is that perhaps they don’t feel this way about you and don’t want to kiss you. The second is that perhaps they
don’t feel ready to kiss you and you are putting them in an awkward position. So definitely don’t try and kiss
them again. If it’s the second reason, then they will kiss you when they are ready because they already know
you will kiss them back.
Using More Pressure: If they start using more pressure when they kiss you, then this is a great sign. It
means they really enjoy kissing you and really getting into it. They are also a compatible kisser with you be-
cause they feel comfortable enough to take a little control over the situation.
Feel Their Head Pulling Away: If you are kissing them but can feel their head pulling away, stop because
for whatever reason they don’t want to continue and you don’t want to embarrass yourself. Even though they
were also kissing you back, either they realized this isn’t what they want and don’t feel comfortable kissing
you, or they feel you are moving too fast. Whatever the reason, respect their feelings and don’t push it. It may
ruin whatever you have together.
Kissing But Pushing You Away: If you have both been kissing for a little while now and you can feel them
slightly pushing you away a little with their hands, then read the sign as it was intended. They obviously need
a bit of space. You are probably moving a little fast for them, or they need a breath. Whatever the reason for
the push, don’t stress, as it is nothing bad. If they really didn’t want to kiss you, then they would have stopped
kissing you altogether.
Kissing But Not Touching: If they are kissing you without any body contact and keeping a little distance,
don’t be offended. Don’t worry, especially if it is your first kiss together. As long as they are still kissing you,
they are still enjoying themselves. They may just be a little nervous so their body will be a little tense and things
aren’t flowing for them naturally just yet. They may also be thinking more about the kiss and making sure
everything is going right.
Pull Away But Then Want More: When you are kissing someone and they pull away and maybe come
back five minutes later for more, don’t read into this too much. Obviously, they were in an uncomfortable posi-
tion. Maybe they were going to lose their balance, or maybe they felt that it wasn’t appropriate for them to
stop kissing, get into a more comfortable position, and then carry on. It may have seemed a little unnatural to
them and even a little embarrassing. So they may have stopped then started again later so it would be less
obvious they were uncomfortable.
Rubbing You While Kissing: If they start rubbing your hand, leg, arm etc., then they are really enjoying
themselves and feeling comfortable. Unless you didn’t already guess, they really like you and obviously think
