Psychologists often divide people in “types” – introverts vs extroverts, serious vs goofy, logical vs intuitive. It goes to follow, then, that you’re either a hugger or a kisser. Without thinking about it too much, which do you think you are? Don’t worry – both are good options. For example, legendary R & B singer Lionel Richie is a kisser, and he knows a thing or two about showing affection. In fact, he told NIVEA that when he started singing with the Commodores he would often kiss a girl in the front row, and it became his signature move! He believes lips, eyes and a great personality are what makes a good kiss great.
Up and coming songstress Karina, whose debut album First Love received a Grammy Nomination, is more of a hugger. She prefers long passionate embraces because, she said, it’s more meaningful. She also said they are easy mood changers – you can go from a bad mood to a good one instantly with a good bear hug.
Since Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, here are some date tips for huggers and kissers alike. If you’re a hugger, break out on a mini road trip by renting a motorcycle. Take a cruise and maybe hit a local jazz bar or dance club. It doesn’t matter how badly you dance – as long as you’re in each other’s arms everything is ok.
If you’re a kisser, spend a night at home and dust off that cookbook – whip up a meal together using aphrodisiac foods: oysters, and vanilla are good examples. Make sure to sample what you are making and sneak in a kiss or two.
No matter which you prefer, don’t forget the NIVEA products that can prepare you to feel the love this Valentine’s night.
