certainly not darfur but...

a question for the masses:

is it possible to kiss someone not related to you and it not be romantic/sexual in any way?

i'm not talking a peck on the cheek or a quick smooch on the lips. i'm talking a longer-than-necessary slight-tingling-in-the-lips kind of kiss.

i have a guy friend that i spent the day with a while ago. he's a cute one, love him to death, but i've never been all that attracted to him. yet, for whatever reason, there was more than one moment that day where i had the intense urging to lay one on him.

i asked my dad that night about it (usually i don't ask my dad's opinion about such things but we were both tired and he was driving home and i didn't feel like dying that night) and he had the suggestion that maybe what i really wanted was a way to express the profound love i have for my friend. that there was nothing sexual in it.

i like that idea. but i don't know if that's really the case.

so back to my original question: is it possible to kiss someone not related to you and it not be romantic/sexual in any way?

get back to me as soon as you can.
