I don't see how it could be a sin or be wrong to kiss someone you're not in a relationship with.
For me, I prefer to save kissing for someone that I really want to kiss, rather than someone I feel obligated to kiss.

1. Just because the Bible doesn't say it is wrong, doesn't mean it is permissible.

2. You cannot draw a line around every rule and definition. Many things in life have fuzzy boundaries. And for some reason vagueness makes us feel uncomfortable.

It can be a sin if the kiss is prompted by lust. In that case the lust is the sin and the kiss is the act that shows/confirms the lust.

A kiss is an awakening key to love, sexuality.....

Like in fairy tales. Sleeping Beauty woke up because of a single kiss. Snow White too...

So though kissing as a form of greeting sounds fine (because it means 'hello' in other countries, the holy kiss greeting, etc), I don't think I would like to kiss someone romantically while not being in a relationship with them. That kind of kiss sounds so meaningless and hollow, not to mention a waste of my time and energy. Might not even please God.

I'm a hopeless romantic anyway. I want to kiss the man I'd want to spend the rest of my life with on my wedding day. And it would be my first kiss too. See, first kiss=love awakening. So cheesy...Big lol!

It's arguable that it's sin outside of marriage.. But I suppose what's okay and what isn't seems to change with the times.

Do I think it's wrong? No, ofcourse not. Sinful? Well, kissing isn't a sin, lust is.

And I'm sure I've reiterated what others have said already.
