What Does Kissing Mean?
Kissing is a form of affection that can be wonderful, or it can be easily botched. It is important to learn that kissing is special, and can lead to other things if not held in check. Learning to kiss well can be important, but is not as important as kissing the right person and not just kissing anyone you meet.
The following is an excerpt from an article by author John Bytheway, called “What Do Kisses Mean?”
There’s an old nursery rhyme that begins, “Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie, kissed the girls and made them cry.” When you’ve heard that little poem, you may have wondered, “What made the girls cry?” Aren’t kisses nice things that anyone would appreciate? Perhaps it all depends on whether or not Georgie Porgie was an honest person or just a selfish young man who didn’t think about the consequences of his actions.
Actions Speak Louder than Words
An important part of dating is communicating. We communicate by sharing our thoughts, ideas, and feelings. We enjoy being with someone when we have an easy time communicating or when we have a lot to talk about. There’s another aspect of communication, however, that doesn’t involve talking—or using any words at all.
All of us know how to communicate without using words. Some of our nonverbal communication speaks loud and clear. With that idea in mind, let’s ask a few questions.
Suppose you are on a date, and you put your arm around your date’s shoulder. This is a common gesture of affection, but what does it communicate?
What if you hold hands with your date? That’s perhaps a stronger message, isn’t it? Maybe that’s like saying “I really like you.”
Finally, what if you kiss your date? Then what are you saying? What do kisses mean, anyway?
The point of Mr. Bytheway’s statement is that kissing doesn’t mean anything if you give your kisses away to everyone. Honesty is the underlying principle to good, fulfilling kissing and a fulfilling relationship for that matter.
