“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.” – Marilyn Monroe

 

Because my random ass is random, we’re going to discuss “forehead kisses” for a minute.  Well, I’ll discuss.  You’ll read.  This is, after all, MY blog.

So girlfriend of mine, mid-storytelling, says, “And I don’t know if this means anything to you but he kissed my forehead during…”  I think I’m slick so I interrupt with, “Wait, what?  What DO forehead kisses mean to you?”  And she kinda got all cute and was all…well whatever it was she said isn’t important right now ’cause I ain’t about to bail my girl out like that but I had the sudden idea to write about it and she agreed and said, “Ya, write about it!”

And because I’m a nosy fuck with nothing better to do but get other people’s thoughts/opinions and make fake “text surveys”, I randomly chose fans some females I knew would reply in a heartbeat.  Shout out to Mags, Hope, Jessi P. AND Jess O. for those day-after replies.  Sheesh.

Cute, right??  But after all those replies, I got to thinking…we don’t really care what the women think about forehead kisses.  We clearly agree, for the most part, that forehead kisses are just….love.  I asked the wrong sex.  We wanna know what the guys are thinking.  So I hit up my guaranteed responders (hi) and below is the compilation of what I am able to share:

My favourite favourite:  Forehead kisses are the kisses you give someone whose mind, body and soul you admire. – MAC

There’s nothing more to say.  We can discuss how dangerous they can be when we’re trying not to catch feelings.  We can discuss how frustratingly fucking fuck fucked it is when he kisses your forehead instead of giving you the d because….well, that’s a whole ‘nother post for another time.  We can discuss how tender or sad or loving they are.  But majority of folks agree, they’re kinda awesome.  They’re a story in one tiny gesture.  When I leave him and I kiss his forehead, I’m saying I wish I could wrap him up in a tiny bundle to carry with me in my pocket all day long so I can keep him safe and happy and smiling and peaceful and protected and loved.  Just like Spaycee said, forehead kisses are dope.  And that’s that.

Now, what other “text-surveys” could I send out?
