Can a kiss at the end of prom night be a nice gesture to end the evening with and nothing more?

Question

Is the goodnight kiss form a guy at the end of prom night something that can be given without implication of love interest? Is this different for a quick kiss on the lips versus a kiss on the cheek?

Answer 1

A quick kiss on the cheek can just be a nice caring gesture after prom, without indicating an interest in dating her. While a peck on the lips would probably be ok, she might think too much of it.

Answer 2

Kiss Kiss Prom

Answer 3

About 1 out of 100 people your age actually knows what they are doing. For the most part you are all flailing and faking it. For instance your very question means that you don't have enough life experience to figure out the nuances and reasons or possibly in this case that lack of reasons.



No one stands in judgement of you because we were all there. Wondering what every exchange meant.



Since you are chin deep in novices who don't wear signs around their necks that read "I am faking it. Please act like you think that I am savvy", You are not going to learn much from your peers.

Years of wondering will lead you to an uncertain answer to your question. Just kidding. Actually you are smart to consider many interpretations of a nonverbal message (the kiss).

My guess is that the kiss was not neccsarily premeditated but rather some thing to be done at that time because it was a date and that is what people do on dates. I've recieved meaningless end of the date kisses, which may have just been an awkward "goodnight". Oh, and I don't think you'll get a kiss if he has no intention of going on another date.

Answer 4

A simple kiss is an extremely classy way to end prom night. People get the perception that you have to have sex on prom night and so on and so forth but if its not someone you are in a relationship with then its definately extremely classy and respectable to end the night with just a kiss. and if hes not satisfied that itself should show you what he was there for.

Answer 5

It depends on the girl your going with some girls see there prom as the closet thing to a wedding so every little thing means something to them. they already have there evening planned out when the pick there date they know how they want it to end if its a kiss on the cheek or all the way for the first time. so if you want to do the oppreiate thing i would just follow her lead and see where she takes it.

Answer 6

Prom night always seems to be viewed as that last hurrah for seniors before they graduate. I say a nice kiss on the cheek is more than enough, does not say asking for more, just enough to show you had a wonderful time.

Answer 7

It depends on the type of girl that you're kissing. Some will take it as a gesture that you are definitely into her. And some, who may be more loose (and possibly do that sort of thing on other dates) will take it as "whatever".

To be truthful, it is my experience that the majority of girls will take it as something if it is on the lips. A kiss on the cheek can be friendly/brotherly depending on the person's upbringing, although girls are known for reading into things, so care is necessary.

Answer 8

Do not kiss a girl unless there is "love interest" behind it, on the cheek or otherwise. It will be taken in a way that you don't want.



A hug might be able to convey what you're looking for.

Answer 9

well this all depends on the mood when you depart. if you spend too much time staring into eachothers eyes before the kiss it might signify that there are feelings extra. make the kiss last too long and then it will show passion. i suggest that if you kiss this person and want to not make it not seem romantic let out a little fart before or after. that should destroy any mood created. that or use innapropriate humor to say directly that it doesn't mean anything for you.

Answer 10

I think that great idea, that makes for a real nice way to say thank you for the evening. And of course if you to hit it off then there is alway another change for more dates.

Answer 11

If you don't want to give her any ideas then a kiss on the cheek is totally appropriate.

Answer 12

if you guys are going as just friends a hug and a kiss on the cheek would be fine. but it kinda depends on how good of friends you guys are bcz if it was me and my friend bry i would knwo that it was nothing just a thank you but if you guys are just friends then it might be weird. but if you end up doing it be sure to say thanks for a great night. i had a blast.

Answer 13

you can kiss her any way you would like as long as you dont imply anything afterwards. try not to imply anything throughout the night. anyway good luck and hope you have fun at your prom!

Answer 14

it depends on how you like the person and how they feel towards you. If it leads to more than a kiss, go with it,if not tell them no.

Answer 15

A kiss on the cheak shows much more respect. Go for it.

Answer 16

A kiss on the cheek sounds absolutly perfect. Have fun. =]].

Answer 17

In my opinion, no. If you don't like her don't kiss her. It's sorta like leading her on.

Answer 18

Answer 19

I think either would be appropriate as long as it is not deep or prolonged.

Answer 20
