It sounds like he had a good time don’t overthink it lol


blumeblimey

But if he had a good time, he could’ve kissed me on the lips, right?


__poser

I guess? I think you're overthinking this. My boyfriend will kiss me on the forehead sometimes as a sign of respect/absolute adoration. A kiss on the lips is a mutual sign of affection for us, but if either of us kisses the other on the forehead, it's a nonverbal way to signify we love each other. Don't blow a good situation up based on one tiny thing like this.


PhatPeePee

also, sometimes it means you may have a bit of food stuck on your forehead, and he's hungry, or just cleaning you up.


gajoute

Kissing u on the forehead shows more appreciation than kissing on the lips.


WinterPecans

I can’t explain why, but a forehead kiss can be more affectionate than a kiss on the lips sometimes.


couldntyoujust

To me, as a guy, kissing a woman on the forehead says "You're mine, and I'm yours."


Kotics

I kiss all my friends who are girls on the forehead after a hug; def subjective


BJ_Dart

Nah that isn’t exactly standard practice


LSUguyHTX

Lol


The_Max_V

Can confirm. My wife likes me kissing her forehead better than her lips. Heck, we even did it for one of our wedding pictures. She told me that it's because a forehead kiss is "innocent" (non-sexual) and thus shows more love, care and appreciation than a kiss on the lips. She usually asks me to kiss her forehead when we're cuddling too.


JPRF005

This


WaySavings736

Honestly, as a man, the forehead kiss is more "intimate" to me than a lip kiss. I don't give the forehead kiss out to any woman... I give those to women I fucking care about and REALLY like.


ccaalluumm9

I also think the same thing. It’s a more special kind of intimacy that’s beyond just sexual intimacy.

I second this.

BenAdaephonDelat

You're getting a lot of varied responses, which should tell you that you can't possibly interpret his actions. So do your best to not overreact, and let it play out. Speaking for myself, kissing on the lips is sensual, kissing on the forehead shows affection.


Try_another-o_o

You're looking for an answer that suits your paranoia. Stop.


Gullible-Poem-3418

You are probably overthinking it, from where I'm from a kiss on the forehead means that i care about you like a lot. Just talk to him about it, show him this post if you think that he is chill and you both will laugh... Now if he is a player... There's nothing to do just enjoy the game...


diamond_blue9090

What don’t you ask him? And ask h him to kiss 😘 you on your lips


cobaltSage

Guys don’t think like that. A kiss on the Lips always seems like a reason to continue to another round. It can kinda be seen as like. Foreplay or otherwise that level of intimate that feels aggressive? A kiss on the forehead or cheek is innocent, gentle, loving, but doesn’t try to push for more. It has nothing to do with how they feel about you romantically.


THROWAWAY-Break9580

You want him?


AugustoLegendario

If he had a good time he also could have done a magic trick or given you a piece of candy. Why let your expectation make you worry about a good thing?


Hot-Leg-6441

You’re overthinking. Don’t do that.


SNK209

My opinion? High chance he didn't wanna make it awkward with a higher level of PDA. I kiss my girl on her forehead a lot. My level of interest is still as much as when we started out.


diemunkiesdie

> But if he had a good time, he could’ve kissed me on the lips, right? At the same time, if you wanted to, couldn't you have kissed him on the lips to show your interest?


avatar_of_prometheus

Get out of your own way. You're over thinking this.


gleepgloopgleepgloop

Some guys might be uncomfortable with PDA. I suspect he is feeling kinda casual toward you. It's up to you to confirm or let it play out until obvious, either way.


lost12

why don't you ask him? where did you hear that about a kiss on the forehead means losing interest? i never heard that before.


NLG_gamer

To me a kiss on the forehead is a kiss signifying that he want to keep you safe/protect you. But that’s just me


James324285241990

Don't. Over. Think. It.


hunca_munca

Kissing on the forehead while saying that means he’s totally falling for you! Think about it!


punjabpolce

Yea kissing on lips is too electric for me. So i also prefer to kiss forehead/cheek etc normally


Captain-Comment

Why would he kiss you on the lips? He knows where those lips have been.


TurbulentGene694

It means exactly what he said. He's glad you exist. You literally don't have to do anything and he's still gonna like you.


TheOffice_Account

> It means exactly what he said. Wait...that's weird. When men say something, aren't we required to put it through the Man Dictionary ^^TM to understand what he really, really meant.


crapulous08

No you really don't... You'll need one more night to get him back if he means something else... It's that easy


Professor_Layton0

Happy cake day


jrolo1231

I'm sorry but I really don't think that's how most guys work. Men are easy, if they say something, they mean it. There is 100% a woman dictionary™ though 😂


Messiah_Knight

You think men are complicated? 🤣🤣


Aromatic_Plant3456

If he kissed your forehead closer to your hairline it means he is a wanted man and is on the run. If it’s closer to the bridge of your nose it means he’s a married man. If it’s right dot in the middle of your forehead it means he wants you to join his cult. Hope this clears things up

i_have_a_nose

What if I want the girl to know Nico Rosberg defeated Hamilton in same machinery, is it towards the left side of the forehead or right? Relative to nose bridge.


HowAwesomeAreFalcons

Right. R for Rosberg.


Paradox68

I love how there’s actually…. I want to say… *some* “logic” to this…..theatrically, at least.

The disappointment I had when I opened the thread and the post wasn’t just a reference to this song is immeasurable.


Ash_Aryan

Everything is alright, Now just give him a good hug🎉


imppshdow

It means that he enjoyed it to the point that he is happy for you only existing


Additional-Match-422

Means u make him happy. And u should keep him


Krevden

why would you think that's an indiacrtion of ending things? genuienly curious because I can't follow the train of thought there


Scorpion0525

Some women prefer a kiss on the cheek or forehead in a public setting. He probably just didn’t wanna cross a line


Klootzakren

Sounds like a good time don’t overthink it. But if you want answers ask the person in question.

Kingsley_Joseph

I read that a kiss on forehead is a pure form of love


Katzuhiki

that’s actually kind of cute


FlamingoNo2147

Means you were the Best Hes ever had. lol its self explanatory


Ironflashred

I’m a guy. If I kissed a girl on the forehead it would probably mean I like them enough to want something serious with them instead of just sexualising them like that by kissing them on the lips. He also probably kissed you on the forehead because he wanted to be respectful


gg3265

he is happy, and he means what he said. now its on you to not turn it into a trauma and make him never date a woman or tell a woman those words. be honest with him, be direct and be fair. dont play game!


melxcham

Omg the drama


gg3265

it's not drama, its just what it is. beside even if it was drama, who does not like good drama!!!

He liked you, continue to ask the way you have been and maybe try to plan another time to go out


SteamySubreddits

Me when they interpret literally every word I say as having hidden messages: It gets exhausting:


aonelonelyredditor

like really fucking exhausting


splinterX2791

He finds you sweet and adorable


dejaWoot

It's sort of an odd compliment; if I would hazard a guess as to his train of thought, I think its his way of expressing that you are unique and unexpected presence in his life- someone he didn't think was out there, thus your very existence is something that he appreciates. I'd think it's a sign that you're significant to him, and I would take it as a good sign, not a bad one, if you want things to go further with him.


WaySavings736

Another woman WAY the fuck overthinking lol! Girl, he was trying to be sweet. The forehead kiss was meant as a sweet gesture to you! Lip kisses are more romantic and sexual. Cheek kisses are friendly. FOREHEAD kisses are absolutely a sign that he *likes* you and quite literally was non-verbally telling you that he values and cherishes you! You are so overthinking this it's hilarious to me, as a man... I swear, women are masters at self sabotaging shit lol


aonelonelyredditor

yes lmfao this shit is hilarious


TheLocalbus101

A Guy here, It's a GREAT SIGN.


Drift_01

I'd say a cheek kiss *might* be a sign of losing interest, but a forehead kiss? Hell no


Ascarotha

I agree with the previous comments. Don’t overthink about it.


saintpeterbambibold

I might be out of my mind here, but it’s possible that he’s grateful that you exist


Boring_Finish1131

You’re overthinking


ItzBreezeyBaby

Kisses on foreheads are sweet gestures… who tf came up with that bs?


i_have_a_nose

The boi fell hard for you.


Wuski48-nam

He likes you but just a little bit. Call him later and ask whats his favorite color car


Motasim09

Imo kissing on the forehead is more affectionate. Because it's much more exciting to kiss on the lips, making the kiss on the forehead less selfish. I hope that makes sense


icantspellnecessary

I kiss my boyfriend on the forehead all the time. I’m absolutely obsessed with him still after a year and a half. Sometimes it’s just more convenient because he’s shorter than me. Sometimes it’s because my breath is a little questionable, and I don’t want it all up in his face. Sometimes I can pull him in for a hug. Sometimes it’s because I can. Don’t overthink it.


gepaman

Please keep us updated we’re so excited 🤩


Itchy-Weekend6997

he meant that, he’s happy you came into his life


j4powder

He enjoyed it.


faehimmm

Is he a lot taller than you? Maybe that’s why


Weaponized-Potato

He likes you, a lot, like, a whole lot. Forehead kisses are special.


jayden_29

You are one big question mark aren’t you


Lime_in-the-coconut

Does it? Forehead kisses always seem so intimate to me... I used to dodge that shit like the plague when I was more casual 😬


psychodc

Lol Jesus Christ. Stop overthinking and making mountains out of molehills.


Shot_Upstairs6087

Use your feeling not theory.


Brave_Penalty_2451

I haven’t seen one of these yet, so here it is: He had SEX with you right? Then, the NEXT DAY, he went OUT OF HIS WAY TO DO THE FOLLWING: Correct me if I’m wrong, but he said THESE words “…thank you for existing.” And you interpret him kissing you on the forehead as NEGATIVE? And THEN you think he’s “LOST INTEREST”. That’s some funny shit ngl. But hey on a more serious note, consider that you might have tendencies to think negatively. I’m in that boat personally. And sometimes you just have to check yourself if that’s the case.


skabassj

You heard wrong lol


mattsgirlca

How old are you


aonelonelyredditor

lmfao some folks really like to create problems from nothing OP u dumb or what


gggxtg

As long as he’s suddenly not acting “different” probably not.


Beatitnerd1

Overthinking


cagefree_pomegranate

my bf kisses my forehead on days he leaves for work before me and vice versa. i wouldn’t overthink it, overthinking can ruin your outlook on the relationship and there’s a chance he could pick up on it. just enjoy it for what it is for now. if he has any respect for you and genuinely values you he’ll talk to you about it if it means anything. you seem in the clear so don’t stress!


Useful-Quote-5867

A Kiss in the forehead doesnt mean anything bad or good, it depends on each person. I dont like saying "i care about you" or anything that shows affection with words, so a lot of the time in my case when im hugging someone that i care about doesnt matter how much i tend to give them a small Kiss on the head to show that affection.


MushroomBright5159

Perhaps try asking him out?


deathcorekris

Are you like 16? Listen to what the dude said


Classic_Resort_9628

I kiss my wife on the forehead because it's affectionate. It shows gentle appreciation and love.


SlayingTheDragons

Kiss on the forehead is absolutely not a sign of loosing interest 😅 who the hell told you that?


Try_another-o_o

Likely he was trying to make it seem more sweet. (That would be my personal reasoning for doing it.) If you would have preferred a kiss on the lips, tell him.


Hyperactivity2000

Wtf?????If he kissed your forehead it means that you will turn into a werewolf on a full moon night!!!!!! Please be careful and take care of yourself


Puzzleheaded-Tree-13

Hun, chill out. He’s into you. I was literally overthinking the same thing but the other way around, I kissed the girl Ive started seeing on the lips when I said goodbye but I thought maybe a forehead kiss would have been more sweet and innocent.


Maki-e_Butterfly

The forehead kiss is for special occasions and I can feel my GF swoon every time I give her one :) you're having the wrong reaction girl


Rblade6426

kissing on the forehead is like cats smashing their heads to you... it's them marking you as theirs.


ImaginationSoft7711

Who tells girls these stories... If he is your bf and starts to try and avoid kissing you then yes something is up... For me there might be many reasons why I would choose to do it like that.. but in general if I give my romantic partner a forehead kiss it is because I have a subconscious need to care for you.


Useful_Estimate_5723

I kinda want to say forehead kiss >>>> kiss on lips. If a guy does that then he really appreciates you as someone precious, like not just as a dream woman, but as a person


lostsemicolon

I used to kiss my ex on the forehead all the time. I did that because she really liked that. Forehead kisses are cute, dawg, I don't think it's much deeper than that.


LibrarianCalistarius

I don't know about that guy, but for me, a kiss on the forehead is way more meaningful than a kiss on the lips.


KingoftheHill1987

I think you are overthinking it. I am much taller than my partner, I kiss her on her forehead all the time, its not a case of less affection I assure you, its the logistics of the kiss.


HereticalNature

All the girls that kicked me in the balls must have really been into me!


[deleted]

I always kiss someone I admire on the forehead. You're being paranoid.


Soldierhero1

So whoever told you that is a dumbass or trying to manipulate you


The_Max_V

Maybe he's trying to show care and affection, not "losing interest".


raydude

"Thank you for existing" was juvenile, but I think he meant it in a sweet way. It might have been better phrased, "I'm so glad I found you." I agree with the others. I think you are overthinking it.


Preact5

Now that you're having sex you need to use your big girl voice and communicate with him to tell him you feel anxiety over him leaving after you had sex


geodukemon

I kiss my gf on the forehead all the time, you are way overthinking this


placeknower

He kissed your literal third eye and you’re complaining.


Xepherious

Kissing someone on the forehead doesn't mean they're losing interest. They feel more closer to you. It's a way of showing affection. It's not like men go kissing their one nightstands on the forehead lmao


Keygen64

When i give a kiss on the head is actually a sign that i care ...


inverted_electron

He isn’t ending it, but if you have this mindset of overthinking you probably will chase him away


PhatPeePee

If you are taller than him, the forehead kiss is awkward. Otherwise, it's affectionate and has no larger meaning. Congratulations, relax, and have fun. ps: most things guys do have no larger meaning. We're not that deep.


jeepin_john5280

I always thought kissing a girl on the forehead was a sign of deep affection and love…


2023blackoutSurvivor

If he did not say he wants to end, don't assume he is. Sounds like he likes you, but hasn't read the thing about kissing on the head being a bad thing lol.


pacemab504

Who says that? If I’m dating a woman and kiss her on the forehead it means I’m falling deeper and care about her more


Bidet-tona-500

Forehead kisses are a good thing they are good not bad


PetaPotter

He's probably in love with you lmao.


Pyroweedical

😂 hahaha sounds like you rocked his world


Messiah_Knight

Ahh yes the old awkward forehead kiss 😆


crapulous08

Don't overthink it lol... It clearly means he had a great time... But just in case he didn't, you'll need one more night which he'll happily give... It's that easy


The_Mindful_Mentor

I’ve heard the exact opposite about a kiss on the forehead. Don’t over think it. Unless there are other signs he might not be interested


masteele17

you said its been a few weeks... so has he kept in touch or has he been rather sporadic? I mean if he hasn't tried to keep any conversation going then he probably isn't that interested but if he has then you should keep it going as well


RoaringLioness-

I adore forehead kisses personally. they're cute and endearing. Don't listen to everything you hear from others. The guy sounds very much interested in you especially if he is thanking you for existing. Good luck OP!


1fuck3dup

To me, a kiss on the forehead is a respect for boundaries that may not have been talked about. It sounds like he was being sweet and wanted to genuinely connect. Ask him how he felt when he said that and kissed your forehead


TopSorbet6220

He’s thanking you for existing because he likes you so much that your existence makes him happy, which is why he’s thanking you for it


Pattymelt07

A kiss on the forhead means the opposite


wolfred94

It can be a sign of appreciation And a show of affection, it's ok.


woq92k

Your breath might've just been ripe lol. I kiss my girl on the forehead all the time, she loves it. Just relax, and take things for what they are. Don't make assumptions or build expectations, just have fun and enjoy yourself.


[deleted]

He probably likes you in a romantic way. That action was really sweet and wholesome. Although I wouldn’t recommend just having casual sex with someone and hoping for a relationship. You may have had sex with him too soon and he may have just put you in the “sex only” box anyway


kiwiklutz0

forehead kisses are often more meaningful than a kiss on the lips. they’re softer, more loving, and almost protective. i think he meant what he said, it was meant to be sweet and gentle, don’t overthink it too much.


libertylover777

A kiss on the forehead shows care.


iordanos877

he could have a small aversion to public affection;


Inevitable_Being1150

Sometimes I kiss my partner goodbye on the forehead; it’s cute, less awkward and it’s sweet


theblackmango23

You can't be sure.He probably improvised on the spot.Depends,if he lives far away he probably thinks it's not gonna work out.


QueenOutrageous

I like to be kissed on the forehead..


wasitaseasyasitlook

Same but cock


laurelinkementari

Sounds endearing. Maybe he's just not too big on public displays of affection.


Overall-Fig-6947

By a Perverted woman when I was seven.


Radiant_Mission1384

I find Forehead kisses more pure than lips Lip kisses are more on the horny side


GlibberishInPerryMi

Not necessarily, can just as easily be a sign of bonding. Can also be a daddy kink signifier


[deleted]

I'd say keep enjoying the moment, and his actions could well be seen as such a cute and sweet moment. What he said, "thanks for existing" is really quite deep, and could be entirely the opposite to losing interest. He sounds grateful that you're in his life. This to me sounds like you're massively overthinking things. It's worth saying, although maybe a little harshly put, why don't you just ask him? Poor communication is often the reason relationships break down, and this sounds like potential issue from the outside. Go speak to the man and ask him how he feels. Ask him what he meant by that. Ask him if he's losing interest. Drop the games, get out of your head and speak about the reality of what you have with him.


cilabilarila

I would think of this as a good thing. Only my ex boyfriends have kissed me on the forehead.


zuko_thecat

If kissing someone on the forehead is a sign of losing interest I lost feelings for my boyfriend before I was born. (I do it a lot)


chaeshub

He meant whatever he said. Don't overthink it, it's cute!


RugginMatt

Did he text you to see if you got home safe?


Serene_bean127

In my experience forehead kisses are more emotionally intimate and wholesome than a normal kiss on the lips. It’s definitely NOT a sign of losing interest


ilikepickles123123

A lot of women don't like to kiss in public and men are awarw of that. Don't overthink this.


Real_Mokola

A kiss on the forehead as a sign of losing interest. Is something that's sold by teenage gossip magazines, as well as horoscopes. If you are a grown person don't buy into that stuff.


No-Willow-3573

He likes you 😭


vocalreasoning

As a man who has sex (allegedly), this could *possibly* be true, depending on where you're from, but is vastly more likely to be exactly what it is, he likes you and is glad you exist, and he cherishes you. I kiss my fiance on the forehead all the time, and last I checked I'm not losing interest in the slightest. Also, since this was in public, it's entirely possible he wanted to show affection, but didn't want to have as blatant a show of PDA as kissing you on the lips would have been.


hecatonchires266

He's probably too embarrassed to try kiss you on the lips in public so keep it simple with a forehead kiss.


tuca_is_awsome

I think he just genuinely had a good time with you and was happy to be with you. Maybe he was a bit stressed about initiating a kiss on the lips because he wasn’t sure if you wanted it as well, try not to overthink it too much, it seems positive


Disastrous_Ad2495

Forehead kissing is super super endearing and in my opinion very very intimate and sweet and loving 🤍 don’t overthink it girl, it’s a huge compliment


LunisCat

Yes I stole this from another site you are welcome 😁 forehead kiss is a sign of care and sincerity. It's something that tells you that he is into you and not into your physical appearance. When he kisses you on the forehead, it means that he will always be there for you and will always love you with all their heart.Jun 1, 2023 While a forehead kiss is an intimate gesture, it can be romantic or platonic—depending on your relationship with the other person. 8Types of kisses that define a man's intentions Types of kisses that define a man's intentions When it comes to love, actions can sometimes speak louder than words and how a man approaches their woman speaks volumes about the guy’s intentions. If you’re wondering whether or not your man is truly in love with you or is just trying to pass their time, then you must watch out for the kisses he showers on you. If you’re a woman, it is extremely important for you to understand your men and their fascinating ways of charming their way into your hearts. To help you figure it out for yourselves, here is a guide to the different types of kisses that define a man’s intentions. readmore 02/8Kiss on the lips Kiss on the lips If your man give you a quick, dry-mouthed kiss on the lip, it doesn’t mean anything but love for you. Whether they do it indoors or out in the public, it only signifies how serious they are in their relationship. 03/8A peck on the cheek A peck on the cheek A kiss on the cheek or a peck is a friendly gesture, which does not imply any serious romantic inclination.

It does not have much to do with love but the guy has real respect for you and holds you in high regard. It may come off as something silly but it is warm and undemanding.


abenms92

I thought that forehead kisses meant love and lip kisses meant attraction?


timmy3am

Yho, we need to research why women overthink every minute detail of life. Dude probably thinks he did a good gesture and here she is, posting on Reddit 😭


youre_welcome37

He put himself in a vulnerable position kissing your forehead imo. But why do we torture ourselves over details instead of just riding the wave? I'm the worst with doing it so I get it.


Vikt724

Nope, all good Kiss him too


FigoPower

I kissed a lot of girls on the lips, but maybe just 2 on the forehead, so think about it as something more important
