Just to put kissing in perspective: The guy I've been with for ages wasn't the best kisser I'ld ever met . . . just sort of okay. Some guys who were far superior kissers were not so great in other ways. So women don't only go by kissing expertise. My guy was the best hugger I'ld ever met . . . also the best at conveying affection.

Women consider the whole repertoire of behaviors a man displays. The main question is often, "Does this guy genuinely like me?" and "Am I special to him?"
