Hi Modstar, I learned many years ago just how important a good bye kiss is. I lost a close loved one many years ago and had the opportunity to say I love you and give her a kiss good bye when I was leaving her house. We did this in our family on occasion but not a regular routine and I knew that I would see her in a week or two. As fate had it, she passed away before I got another chance to see her. I have thought about her on many occasions through out my life and have always wished that I gave era hug and a kiss good bye. To this day, my family and I have always said I love you and gave a hug and a kiss good bye. You never know what will be right around the corner in life. When I talk to family on the phone I tell them I love them before hanging up. I also have my in laws doing the same now, we always sat love you bye, many times our teenage nephew even say LYB (love you bye).

I think it depends on the relationship and at what level it is at. If we are just dating and getting to know each other then a date without a kiss would make me feel like the guy was not interested in me, but after a while then if he is leaving and doesn't kiss me then I am okay with it. I know he likes me and I don't have to worry about that. But when we do kiss goodbye it does feel nice. My partner now sometimes kisses me goodbye, but sometimes he doesn't. He says that it makes him want to stay and that it is hard on him ;) cause he has to go. I would never get upset over a kissless goodbye with him now, but at the beginning I would.

Recently, I could feel that something's missing if there isn't a goodbye kiss on the cheek, not on the lips if in a public place. It didn't matter to me before. To my BF, he always felt bad when I didn't let him kiss me goodbye. Because I was always conscious if somebody saw us, and talked about it like it was a s*x scandal!:-D
Now, the winds have changed. I don't care much anymore. I guess when two people are so in love, you just eventually feel comfortable showing a "bit" of affection in public.

I know Manila's filled with liberated people but I hope you don't go popping cherries in public.

Goodbye kisses are very important to us too. My husband once said, there is no argument (between us) that is too big a deal that I would not kiss him goodbye before I leave for my office. I guess we all want that to be the last thing we remember from our loved one before we part ways for the day and of course when we meet again.

It has never been my practice to plant a 'goodbye kiss' before leaving. But we do a lot of hugging when we first meet or leave with our close family or friends.

I think a goodbye kiss is important but i wouldn't break up with someone over not giving me. sometimes we just forget... I know i like getting them though to hold me over till i get to see them again and ya never know but that goodbye kiss could always be your last.

It depends on the girlfriend. There are those girlfriends of mine that would be upset if I wont be able to give them a goodbye kiss. There are also those that will just understand. But I am talking naturally of my ex girlfriends. I am now married. As much as possible I always kiss my wife before I go and when I arrive.

Hi modstar,
Back then when I was still dating, I was looking forward not for the meal itself, but the company of the "date" including the goodbye kiss. I may be speaking of some, if not most of the ladies but yes, it might affect the overall totality of the date without the goodbye kiss. I may not say ruin, but it's really kind of disappointing without it. The last thing guys do to their dates are the most cherished ones. It will linger on until we sleep,carry on as we dream and maybe will have our smiles pasted and glued from our lips the whole day as we wake up.

Well, we don't usually give "goodbye kiss" with each other when we go or separate especially in the public places like school, streets, mall, etc (all public places).. Its not that we don't like to "public display of affection" but its because we were not comfortable to let it show to the whole people.. I don't know maybe we were just both shy and conservative..
