So, you kissed him and enjoyed it. And, naturally, wanted to know whether he liked it or not.
When you kiss a guy, even if it’s a French kiss, it’s not just about your enjoyment. It definitely matters if the guy enjoyed the experience. Because this will help you know whether he would want to kiss you again and want to be with you. Or even interested in a relationship with you.
When you don’t know how he felt after a good kiss, you will continue to wonder about this.
Did I do something wrong?
Did my breath stink?
Was I too good at kissing? Or too clumsy?
All these questions will be churning in your mind. But is it possible to know if a guy enjoyed kissing you? The simple answer is yes. You can figure out how a guy felt while kissing him by paying attention to his body language. Even your reaction will tell you a lot about how he felt.
Without further ado, let’s check the signs a guy enjoyed kissing you.
11 signs to tell you that he loved the kiss
1. You loved the experience
The easiest way to know how a guy felt is to check how you felt about it. The reasoning is simple enough. If he felt uncomfortable with kissing or didn’t like it, his reaction will make you uncomfortable, even if his reaction is subtle and hidden.
Unless a guy enjoyed kissing you, you will not enjoy it. That is the simple truth. So, ask yourself if you enjoyed it. If you did, he must have enjoyed kissing you. You can also gauge how much he enjoyed it by knowing how much you enjoyed the experience.
2. It was a bit awkward
If you are kissing this guy for the first time, this may happen. You are not sure about how he would behave when kissing or his body movements. It is the same for him too. He isn’t sure about you. This may result in a comedy of errors. You may end up doing awkward things and try to cover the awkwardness by laughing about it.
Something you are holding while kissing may fall and you will try to grab it. Your phone may start ringing in between creating an uncertain situation. Your nose or teeth may awkwardly brush against the guy. If you are interrupted while kissing by such inconsequential happenings, he may not enjoy kissing you.
On the other hand, if your kiss went smoothly without interruptions and this guy was comfortable and relaxed with you, there is a high chance that he enjoyed it.
3. He gave you a hug
You stood kissing for a long while and he pulled you closer in a hug. This is definitely a good sign that your guy enjoyed kissing you.
A good kiss is a personal experience for both involved. If they enjoy it and get into the zone, it can lead to more intense moments. That is what happened here. The guy enjoyed your proximity and this turned him on. He wanted the experience to last longer and even heighten the intensity.
A good kiss can lead to more intimacy and physical contact.
4. He pauses, pulls back, and compliments you
When you are enjoying a new drink, won’t you check the label to know which brand? Though some may find the analogy too obtuse, the fact remains that we do the same when interacting with others.
If you are kissing a guy for the first time and he’s enjoying it, he may want to look at you just to make sure that this is really happening. He may say something nice about you, your lips, or your skill. The guy may be wondering why he’s experiencing sensual feelings and trying to figure out the answer by looking at you.
Though a pause while kissing may be considered bad, in this instance, it can only be good.
5. He moved on to kissing you on the neck
A typical kiss involves lips. But if both parties are enjoying it, things may get more intense and move on to more intimacy. As a first step, a guy may start kissing you on the neck. It is a clear sign that he is getting carried away by the moment.
As the intensity of kissing goes up, he may start running his tongue around the ears and the neck. This may lead to more kisses on the sides of the neck or even love bites. Do you know that the neck is the most common area for hickeys?
6. His hands are all over you
You are kissing one moment and the next you find his hands caressing you all over your body. Unless the guy enjoyed kissing, he won’t be doing this. Depending on his inhibitions and your encouragement, this can lead anywhere.
Most probably, you too responded equally passionately. You take cues from the reactions of each other and take it a step further. If both of you are okay with it, the kissing can lead all the way to making out or even a relationship.
7. He takes over control
Guys like to be in charge, even if it was you who initiated the kiss. When he starts enjoying the experience, he may not allow you to dominate the show. A guy will feel comfortable only when he’s in charge.
Rather than you guiding the course of the kissing, the guy will take control and take the lead. This may not be visible in the real sense, but you will feel the way he takes control of the situation.
8. He took it slow in between
When someone is enjoying something they are doing, they want it to last forever. They don’t want it to stop. To make this possible, they will take things slowly. With kissing, if the intensity and pace are going up faster, it can lead to more intimacy and intimate actions. On the other hand, your guy may want to savor every moment while kissing you and make the most of it.
Clearly, this guy is enjoying kissing you. He’s getting sensual pleasure out of it and slowing it down to enjoy it more. He may even close his eyes to derive more enjoyment from it.
9. He wasn’t into it
This is hard to explain. His heart was elsewhere. Meaning, his attention was on something else or something else was on his mind when he was kissing you. The guy kissed you in a mechanical way without putting any feelings into it. It was as if he didn’t care how you perceived his behavior.
There are guys like this who are so focused on certain things in life that they don’t give their wholehearted attention to intimacy while kissing. Their mind would be still on some problem they are trying to resolve at the office or even the game they are passionate about. Such guys are never going to enjoy anything else in life. Forget about a relationship with him.
10. He stopped when you thought it was going great
You were kissing passionately and you thought the guy was enjoying it. You definitely were. But then, all of a sudden, he withdrew saying that he has got to stop it. Most probably, the reason can be that your guy was scared that he would find it difficult to control himself if he allowed it to go further. After all, we know where a passionate kiss can lead us.
Don’t take it to heart that the guy abandoned you abruptly. He must have been unsure of how well he can control himself if he allows the intensity of the kiss to go too far. This means he enjoyed it in the first place. Be patient with the guy and he will come back for more.
11. He looks deeply into your eyes
Locking eyes is considered a romantic gesture. If your guy does this right after kissing you or in the middle of kissing, it is an encouraging sign that he enjoyed kissing you. Not only that, he may be trying to convey that he likes you and is interested in a relationship with you.
Typically people try to avoid eye contact when they aren’t comfortable with the other person or they don’t trust them. So, when your guy makes eye contact, that too with intensity, it is a sign that he enjoyed kissing and wants to see you again.

How a guy may feel after kissing depends a lot on who initiated it. If the guy started it, he is interested in you. But again, whether he enjoyed it or not still remains a question.
