If a girl recently kissed you on the neck then you might be wondering why and what it might mean about the way that she feels about you.

In this post, I’ll help you understand why she might have kissed you on the neck and why other girls might do it as well in the future.

So, what does it mean when a girl kisses your neck? A girl kissing your neck is likely a sign that she is attracted to you. This would be especially likely if she did it when you were alone together and while she was showing other signs of attraction in her body language. It could also be the case that she did it because she was being friendly or it was accidental but it would be less likely.

There are actually a number of things to consider and to look for when trying to understand why she kissed you on the neck. The timing, location and body language that she was showing could all have an impact on why she did it.

Why a girl will kiss you on the neck

Each of the different reasons why a girl will kiss you on the neck will likely come with a number of clues in the way that she did it and the body language that she showed.

In the following sections, I’ll show you why she might have done it, the signs to look for and the considerations to make.

She is attracted to you

The reason that she kissed you on the neck is likely to be that she was showing attraction to you.

The neck is an intimate area and it is not an area that someone would normally kiss when they’re just being friendly.

With that being said, it would be even more likely that she kissed you on the neck due to attraction if she did it when she was alone with you or if she did it when also showing other signs of attraction.

The other signs of attraction that she could have shown could include things such as:

  • Mirroring your own body language
  • Flicking her hair to the side exposing her neck
  • Stroking her hair while talking to you
  • Holding prolonged eye contact with you
  • Touching you a lot
  • Pointing her feet at you
  • Having dilated pupils when looking at you
  • Touching your feet with her feet
  • Standing closer to you than she does with other people
  • Adjusting her appearance when she noticed you
  • Asking you more questions than she was to other people
  • Laughing at your jokes more
  • Laughing and looking to see if you were also laughing
  • Glancing at you a lot
  • Watching you when you were with other girls
  • Standing or sitting more upright when she saw you

She was being friendly

It might be the case that she was just being overly friendly.

This would be more likely if she also kissed her other friends in a similar way and if she tends to touch her other friends a lot.

However, kissing the neck is not something that a friend would normally do so it would be more likely that she was showing attraction.

It was accidental

The reason that she kissed you on the neck could be that she did it accidently. She might have been going to kiss your cheek but you went in for a hug for instance.

If it was the case that she did it accidentally then it would be likely that she would have pulled away more quickly and that she wouldn’t have shown signs of attraction unless she was attracted to you anyway.

Consider when and where she kissed your neck

When trying to understand why she might have kissed your neck it would be helpful to consider when and where she did it.

If she kissed your neck when you were both alone together then it would be more likely that she was showing attraction.

Whereas, if she kissed you on the neck when she was around other people then it could be the case that she was trying to be friendly. However, it would still be likely that she was showing attraction.

Think about the way she responds to seeing you

It would also be helpful to think about the way that she responds when she sees you when trying to understand why she kissed you on the neck.

If she responds to seeing you by noticeably changing her body language in a way that suggests attraction then it would be much more likely that she is attracted to you.

If she responds to seeing you by doing things such as:

  • Having more dilated pupils
  • Holding eye contact
  • Adjusting the way that she looks
  • Flicking her hair to the side
  • Pointing her feet at you
  • Moving closer to you
  • Sitting or standing more upright

Then it would suggest that she is attracted to you and make it more likely that she kissed your neck because of being attracted to you.

Consider the way that she interacts with other people

It would also be helpful to consider the way that she behaves with other people.

If she tends to kiss her other friends a lot then it could be the case that she was just being friendly when she kissed your neck. This would be more likely if she also shows the same body language around them as she does with you.

However, if she only kissed you in that way and she does seem to show different behavior and body language around you then it would be more likely that she was showing attraction to you.
