About This Quiz

From the minute we meet someone we see as a potential love interest, the first kiss is on our mind. So many things depend on that first kiss. It either makes or breaks the magic. You anticipate it, you imagine how wonderful it would be, and when it finally happens, it’s either everything you could dream of or a first sign of not being compatible with that person. Sure, kissing is fun, and yes, it feels amazing. But did you know that the way you kiss and express yourself through kissing says a lot about your personality?

Some people base their relationships on lust, while others prefer to base them on love and companionship. While many folks only care about lustful, passionate kisses, others prefer tenderness and softness in their kisses. Do you only kiss when the feelings are deep and meaningful or do you see kissing as something that’s pure fun? Are you aware of all the amazing personality treats the way you kiss reveals? Take this quiz to find out what’s your kiss personality and how the people around you perceive you. You might be surprised by the results!
