So I’ve been taking salsa classes since early July (basically same people in every class). There is one guy in particular with whom I joke around with more than any of the other guys (we all dance together at one point or another during the class because we do a rotation). When we don’t dance together I often catch him looking at me, and when I catch him he looks away. Anyway as a dancer he is not too great, but last night towards the end of the class I danced with him and he danced amazingly well, did the whole turn pattern without any mistakes (which was difficult), best I’ve ever seen him dance. When we were done he was so happy he gave me a big hug and he kissed my neck, which was weird. I mean peck on the cheek would have been fine, but a real deal kiss on the neck just didn’t seem right. Anyway after we danced he was dancing with someone else, and again I caught him looking at me but this time he yelled out “16” which is like a private joke between us. I’m really not sure if he was just so happy that he didn’t realize what he was doing, but still I mean the only men who have ever kissed me on the neck were men I was romantically involved with. Anyway my question is, am I wrong to find it weird that he would kiss me on the neck?

By "find it weird," do you mean you don't have a romantic interest in him?

It sounds like romantic interest (on his part) to me. Men just don't randomly kiss their female friends on the neck without it meaning something more, IMO...not unless they've known each other for years and literally think of one another in a brother-and-sister way or something, and even then...I don't know, I can say my actual brother has never kissed me on the neck. Nor has my brother-in-law. So it sounds like a "something more" feeling on his part.

I actually think this is really sweet but I understand that if you're not into it, it won't feel sweet, it will feel unwanted.

Is it possible that he wanted to give you a kiss on the cheek and missed his mark for whatever reason?

If not, this is something that, for me, would officially cross the line into "ick" behavior.

Salsa Dancing can be very sexual. He probably has caught feelings for you and in the height of excitement, kissed you on impulse. If you liked it, pursue, if not then don't. I suspect you're into him because you're looking at him as much as he is you...

He likes you. What's confusing about that?

Doubt it, it was the lower part of my neck, so that's a big miss.

Obviously mineral deficient bloke here. You were the closest salt lick. Think nothing of it.

I think you really can trust your instincts here. If it seemed a bit weird, then go with that. I will add that I can't imagine doing something like that, but then I'm pretty conservative in these matters.

So...are you, or are you not interested in him romantically?

The answer will be your heads-up as far as what to do from here.

Guess his definition of neck-ing is different than yours?

Maybe it was neck-ed dancing?
