What does a kiss on the cheek mean?

Ryann and I had a good talk on Sunday night I told her that I needed her to communicate with me what she was feeling because I was starting to struggle with... well this is how it was, when we would be sitting and I would have my arm around her, after a while, I would get the thought "what if she doesn't love me?" I have told her I love her on a few occasions and her response has been that she did know what she wants. This was getting hard. I need to know more of what she is thinking and feeling. Sunday night she told me and it was helpful, and gives me more hope.

In Sunday school Bill had given everyone some mistletoe and this lead us to a discussion about kissing, she said that sometimes she wants to kiss me but doesn't know if she is ready. During our talk sunday night I had the thought/ desire that I should kiss her; then she could figure it out.

I didn't kiss her. That is not how I do things.

Wednesday morning I went to see her and on my way, I thought "I should give her a kiss."

I happen to have strong opinions about this sort of thing. Hugs are free, they mean hello or good bye and are a token of friendship. Holding hands means I like being with you and I am comfortable having you close to me. A kiss means "I love you" if I can't say it to a girl I won't kiss her. Sex is only for after marriage, and means something deeper than "I love you."

I have never really worked out what a kiss on the cheek means, but Wednesday morning as I was leave I kissed Ryann on the cheek. As I write this I guess that means my half of the I love you.
