Kids kissing?

I’m a week late to post, short on inspiration.

Children are not encouraged to kiss anyone other than family members.

If an 8 year old girl gives a ten year old boy a lighthearted, superficial kiss on the cheek, he could say “whoop!” And then chuckle. It’s not romantic. They’re friends.

If she plants kisses on his cheek, he could chuckle and push her off and say “ok that’’s enough stop!” Or say “Ok that’s sweet and I appreciate it, but I have to set boundaries.”

If two young children, a boy and a girl, share a peck on the lips, if it was lighthearted and not much thought, they can let it go. But if it’s repeated, disciplinary action will be needed.

On the other hand, the lips are an intimate spot to kiss.

Of course, a young boy and girl can share a hug. If They linger a hug, they might feel slightly uncomfortable and say ”umm… we can let go.” Holding hands would seem like a gray area.

How a guy could respond to kisses from a girl

It’s good for the guy to smile in response, because she will be willing to give him more kisses. If he doesn’t smile, she may be less willing. If he doesn’t smile or he acts unhappy, she might feel discouraged. A smile of affirmation encourages the girl. He better smile if he doesn’t want her to feel bad.

He probably shouldn’t wipe off her kisses, or she may feel bad.

If a girl kisses a guy (that’s not her boyfriend) unexpectedly, let’s suppose she’s attractive. The best response would be for the guy to go “whoa!” And then chuckle, or maybe less preferred “Whoa! Uh Umm…”

If a guys girlfriend asks him “Can I kiss you?” As she comes in to kiss his face, but he’s uncertain or uncomfortable, the best response may be for him to say “umm…” Then she should respond “It’s ok. I won’t do it if you don’t want me to.” The guy could then say “hm-hm” (closed-mouth chuckle) “…Do it” and then she may say “ok. If you want me to I’d be happy to.” If she keeps kissing his face, he can chuckle and say “ok that’s enough stop” and the girl could say “Ok. If you think I should stop,  I will.”

If the girl says “kiss me” and then puckers her lips waiting for the guy to kiss her lips, a good response would be for the guy to go “umm…” or he could say “Uhh…” and then chuckle with his mouth open to a smile and teeth closed. If the girl says “Well, if you don’t want to I won’t force you to” and then the guy could inhale through is nose and then hold her hands and approach her for a kiss.

If a girl approaches a guy to kiss his lips, he could step back, like in that animation of Wendy approaching Peter Pan for a kiss, which I will find another day. But unlike that animation, in the real world, the guy could go ”uh…” and then chuckle with an open smile with teeth closed.

If the guy acts like he doesn’t want a kiss, the girl could have compassion and say ”You feel uncomfortable when I kiss you?” and then she could have a broken-up/groaning voice however I put it. If he says ”Ok just do it,” she could respond ”Not if you don’t want it.” She probably shouldn’t just kiss him because he tells her to, supposing he’s letting her do it because she wants to.
