Definitely! It may be a little awkward, but asking permission helps you get a sense of the other person's comfort level.

Just ask them directly! You might say something like "I really want to kiss you right here. Do you feel comfortable with me kissing you in front of all these people?"

Question

He kissed me and didn't ask. I'm in middle school. I cried for the whole day. It was my first kiss and I want to break up with him. What should I do?

Community Answer

You should definitely talk to him to let him know you weren't ready for that kiss. Hopefully, he will apologize for kissing you without your permission. If he doesn't think it was a big deal, then you may want to consider breaking up with him. You deserve to be with someone who respects you and listens to you.

A quick peck on the lips is probably the best if you're in front of your family.

Question

I kissed my bf once in front of all my friends and it was a full make out session. WHAT TO DO NOW

Sarah Battilana

Community Answer

You could make a joke about it to relieve any tension you or they might feel. Otherwise, don't worry about it! It happens, and people won't remember it for long.

Question

What if your crush wants to talk but then he kisses you

Sarah Battilana

Community Answer

Well, if you wanted to be kissed, that is great! If you weren't ready for that, you may want to talk to him about the experience. If your friends saw and were surprised, you could just say you were surprised, too.
