Why wouldn't you kiss someone?

Options
So. I had a weird evening, and I was discussing the events with a male friend over breakfast. Both of us are confused by the situation.

I've been flirting with a coworker for several weeks. After a few hang outs, he invited me over to sleep and "cuddle". We got rather intimate, but throughout the whole thing, not once did we kiss each other.

As a 24 year old woman who has had a few intimate encounters, kissing is like...the first base. The foundation. You can't have anything else without the kissing.

My mind is boggled. Has anybody else encountered this?

(i ruled out bad breath, as I know we both showered and cleaned up before meeting. He also is a rather bearded man. Maybe he was afraid I couldn't find his lips in the mess of hair.)

    He invited you over to "sleep and cuddle", you bought it and you think he wants a relationship? He didn't kiss you because he just wanted to "cuddle", nothing more.

    In my experiences, if it is just a hook up or booty call, then kissing doesn't happen.

    when i didnt kiss people it meant i didnt wanna get close to them.. that i just wanted to keep it how it was.... i was never a fan of kissing because i never wanted to feel emotion with someone... now that im married i love pecking and kissing.... soooo he probably didnt wanna get close to u.. sorry no offense.. but..... im pretty sure when a man asks if u wanna sleep over and cuddle it means just sex....... duh lol...... sorry girl but u kinda got played... he just wanted sex obviously

    Sorry honey, this isn't going to go as you want - he just wants you for your cuddles, nothing more.

    Move on quickly, spare yourself the heartache of getting attached.

    Also, he may just be a bad kisser. If that's the case, see the above sentence.

    I wasnt going into it expecting a relationship. I knew what our "sleep and cuddle" time meant. We didn't have sex, just fooled around. However I thought kissing was just something everyone did, whether you were just planning on hooking up or not.

    Isn't kissing the best part of it?

    Kissing is considered personal by many people.

    Appears to me as if he just wanted to knock a piece off.

    Reasons I wouldn't kiss someone: they have bad breath, I don't want to kiss them (attraction) or the location is wrong.

    kissing is considered personal...as others have said...

    it IS the best part in a lot of ways and it is the part I love the most.. in foreplay as it gets everything else moving and going...

    but it really is personal...and its sharing a piece of yourself, sharing breath....so some people do regard it as a no no with just sex situations...

    i dont like kissing but i like it when someone tries to kiss me.. its funny and cute... so maybe thats why ur mad.... u know u can catch alot from kissing.. like mono or oral herpes... oral herpes can turn into genital herpes.. anyways.. so u guys didnt have sex but fooled around?.. confused usually when u just fool around it means kissing or oral or like a massage..... idk this is weird... i think ur thinking a bit to much....... some guys love kissing i know that if i start making out with my man it will definetely lead to sex.. so maybe he didnt kiss u cuz he didnt want u to take it the wrong way if u had sex..... ?

    It's called a booty call.

    Why in the world would you "cuddle" with someone that you haven't kissed? :noway:

    Why do people get themselves into situations like this?:grumble:

    If kissing is the best part, you're doing it wrong.

    ...or HE is.

    It's called Game... and apparently he has some.


    Women are helpless when a guy has game.

    Ever watch True Blood.... a guy can 'glamour' a woman very easy if done right.
