Would You Kiss A Stranger Thursday Night?

On Thursday night we will be starting a brand new year and of course it is the night where there is a tradition of giving someone a kiss. Now not everyone has someone to kiss but tons of us are going to parties so I'm wondering if you would kiss a stranger at the stroke of the New Year. If not then why - it is one small peck that won't really mean anything. And if you would - do you think you would regret it later and how do you go about picking who you are going to kiss.

Just kiss your kids for new years then but its great that you are spending the night with them as well. I know in my area they sometimes have family new year events going on so perhaps you can find something to take them too unless they're really young then I can see staying in being the best option.

I think I would! But again, I'm a guy! I don't really mind unless it is the same gender! Then I would mind! Giving a stranger female a kiss won't be a problem for me!

Haha You are what most people would call the stereotypical guy. If you don't have someone already, I hope you find a cute girl to kiss tomorrow night :)

I shall, no doubt, be reasonably inebriated at the time and so, I expect, would the stranger. I am quite happy to bestow (or share) not only pecks but full on kisses with most strangers. I suppose, actually, that one ought to be concerned about AIDS and other such diseases which can be contracted through the exchange of bodily fluids, but in this country (and knowing the company I expect to be in), it is a fairly small risk. Kissing (and hugging) strangers is fun, normally harmless and usually mutually enjoyable.

I think with most diseases such as AIDs it isn't necessarily passed by kissing - or if it is not extremely likely. But I would watch out for people with cold sores because those things can become a pain in your behind when they appear. But yes I will probably be like you and inebriated to where it doesn't especially matter but at least you know the type of company you will be with so therefore things are more safe.

I would totally be down with kissing a stranger as long is it were clear we were both into it and didn't care. I'm guessing in situations like this everyone is drunk so it doesn't really matter anyways. Depending on how drunk we both are, it might even go farther than a peck. I have kissed people I knew, but weren't in a relationship or even "talking" with but it doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm comfortable with their level of comfortable and we're both drunk.

Yes - I remember nights when I've been drunk and I've kissed strangers I've never talked to so to me of course there is no problem with kissing a stranger on a night where you are suppose to be kissing someone. For me though I have a boyfriend who isn't going to be in town so I won't be kissing anyone since he'd probably get mad if I did.

Just make sure they are coworkers that aren't going to take it the wrong way!!! Sorry you have to work though, enjoy the time and if you work somewhere where a ton of wasted people show up at least you have something to laugh at.

Hi anotherxidentity. I am married so I won't be kissing a stranger this year! Sometimes, I think he is strange, does that count? But, I have done that in the past. It was some years ago. I was at a party and me and my friend had planned to find someone good looking to kiss at the stroke of midnight. Well, sure enough, I found some guy that was pretty good looking and wasn't there with anyone else so,being that I am a very upfront person, I just walked right up to him and told him that at 12 we would kiss and he didn't argue,so just before 12, I found him again and that's what we did! I think we might've had some small talk right before we kissed, really small talk.. maybe just names, And it wasn't just a peck, it was a pretty good wet one that lasted pretty long! Turns out I found a very good kisser! I was just having some fun, and no I didn't regret it. It was an innocent kiss and it didn't lead to anything else! And I had a great time!

Well I'm sure your husband will be enjoying his kiss this year. And yes I think that is how it should be. It was something fun and enjoyable by both parties and it wasn't extreme to where there was any consequences from the action. And if you're a good kisser there is no reason why you shouldn't be off kissing people :P

I rally don't think I would or could. And if I did not saying I would but if I did I am not sure if I would regret it or not but probably so.

I'm sure if it was a friendly peck and you didn't have to see that person often it wouldn't be as regretful. Now if it was a coworker then things might get awkward quickly.

If you are in there for some tradition, then follow it, It's a part of welcome wish then it's okey to kiss. But it will be pleasant if the partner is not a stranger.....

I think it's really strange when people do that. To answer your question, no, never.
