It’s amazing how a small gesture can make us feel, like a kiss on the hand. Although it may seem insignificant, it also hides a beautiful message.
It doesn’t matter if it’s to your partner, a friend, or a family member, it’s always related to something positive, as it’s a way of showing affection towards another person.
What Does a Kiss on the Hand Mean?
Although it may seem the same, a kiss on the hand doesn’t mean the same as one on the nose, cheek or lips…
This particular kiss shows admiration, desire, love, respect, and trust. In fact, it all depends on the part of the hand where we receive it.
Kiss on the Back of the Hand
It’s one of the most traditional ways of greeting someone. Usually, it was the man who kissed the woman on this part of the hand, although it also happened regardless of gender. This gesture was made when dealing with a high-ranking person such as a prime minister or a priest.
Currently, this has changed, as a kiss on this part of the hand is given to those who are respected, adored, and loyal.
Kiss on the Palm of the Hand
The most delightful hand kisses are those given on the palm, as this gesture is enough to send signals that you value, respect and trust the other person completely.
It’s very common among couples who have been together for a long time and still have that affection as if it were the first time they met. Being kissed on the palm of your hand expresses a deeper feeling.
Kiss on the Fingers
These kisses end up under the sheets. They’re usually seen among couples who are starting their relationship or who are very passionate.
A kiss on the fingers, combined with another gesture, adds a different message. For example, if your partner bites or slowly sucks your fingers, it means desire and seduction.
But, if the kiss is soft, tender, and on the bony part of the fingers, it rather refers to that person having a very deep affection towards you.
