here's a question for the network:

why would an ally kiss you on the cheek?

i know it's a greeting gesture in some cultures, but there are also other connotations and it's just plain confusing. no explanation was given, either. it's just really confusing and i don't get it.

thx for any insights anyone might have.

[WHY THIS]

so you mean it's a friends kind of thing?

[prettytamer]

Depends on the person. Some people do it with their friends and some people mean it like boyfriend-girlfriend.

[badluckhealer]

ok ... can't tell which one it was though.

probably friends?

this is too confusing. maybe i should just pretend it never happened.

Or you could talk about it with your friend. That might clear things up.

i don't think that would be a good idea. this person is

i do not know what to say.

[404 error brain not found. She feels sick, but kind of a good sick if that makes any sense? Like a fever but comfortable. Except for the part where she totally needs to dunk her head in some ice water.]

i do not understand any of this and thinking about it causes some kind of emotion i don't get. think it would be best if this topic of conversation ceased.

Well, if you're sure. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, anon.

[Suspicious? A little.]

i'm not going to do anything. don't know how, and idk, don't want to say something incorrect or whatever.

thx though, i guess.

Well... They definitely really like you!

Whether it's another kind of 'like' depends more on the context, though.

txt; anon

[badluckhealer]

context: right before the person walked off to take care of pressing business.

does that help?

[luckyuncle]

Well, you see, when one ally loves another ally, they kiss each other on the cheek, hold hands, and profess their endless love to one another.

[....what.]

figures. every forum's got their trolls.

[Which troll IS it, though?]

[greatseal]

What were you doing before that?

[badluckhealer]

conversing. we were at the festival, if that helps?

txt; anon

[luckyuncle]

It's a little different when this one's only half-trolling.

So, how about some context? Did you buy them flowers? Do something nice?

After all, in some cultures, kisses are a display of gratitude.

[greatseal]

They probably were saying they had a good time.

But maybe you should try doing it to them next time and see how *they* react.

[badluckhealer]

"a good time"? what do you mean by that? i mean, the festival is fun, but it was just a few minutes of chatting.

nope. out of the question. nope nope nope.

[...FLOWERS............]

we were just talking.

why did you have to mention flowers.

txt; anon

[luckyuncle]

[kekekekekeke this is going to be great]

Oh? Don't you like flowers?

But, anyway. What manner of talking? Did you lend her an ear to one of her problems? Speak about something that made her happy?

txt; anon

[badluckhealer]

i am pretty sure i know who this is.


not okay.

txt; anon

[luckyuncle]

To be fair, you're not doing that good a job of hiding yourself either.

[badluckhealer]

i'm aware.

didn't think the memory swapping mess extended to knowledge of handles, tho.

[meaningdies]

This one's not me.

[badluckhealer]

WHAT.

who the hell is this then?!

[luckyuncle]

Ah, but that would break anonymity.

You'll just have to guess~
