I can do it (laughs). As far as I’m concerned, I don’t see anything to be scared of. There’s absolutely nothing to be afraid of. I can even do it in my friend’s presence. I’ll make it look like a joke that it is. It’s even important that she sees us doing it rather than hearing about it from a third party.

It’s just a friendly gesture. It’s not as if I have any crazy plan of dating the guy or stealing him from her. That would be absolute betrayal. If the guy in question is my boyfriend’s friend, I will never attempt a crazy stunt like that. I can even attempt it because it’s a different ball game entirely. My boyfriend’s pal is very different from my female friend.

Well, if there’s no strings attached, I don’t see anything wrong in stealing a kiss, after all it’s just being friendly. Ultimately, it all boils down to what the other person is thinking about. Stealing a kiss from your friend’s boyfriend doesn’t mean you have to go around kissing all your friends’ boyfriends.

That would be a crazy campaign to embark on. If the kiss is just a friendly gesture, then, why not? However, if I discover that the guy wants intimacy to be attached to the kiss, I won’t condone such. It also depends on the kind of friendship I have with the ‘friend’ in question. The same would also apply if the guy in question is my boyfriend’s buddy.

Actually, I can’t do a thing like that. No matter how you look at it, it’s a very stupid thing to do if you take a critical look at it-kissing your friend’s boyfriend? I can’t do it because I consider it a stab in the back. If for any bizarre reason, my friend’s boyfriend feels he loves me, he has to do the proper thing. When I say proper thing, I mean he has to tell his girlfriend (my friend) that he is no longer interested.

He would have to explain to her that he has found someone else, whom he is in love with. Thereafter, I would expect him to break up with her. Only then will I give him audience. If my friend finds out that her boyfriend broke up with her to date me, I don’t expect her to get angry because it’s her boyfriend’s fault and not mine. However, if I find out that I’m attracted to my boyfriend’s friend, I’ll tell my boyfriend. Such temptations have a way of making a lot of unexpected things happen.

I can’t do it because it’s a betrayal. How can any woman in her right senses think about stealing a kiss from her friend’s boyfriend? It’s so unfair. Why in the name of God should I do a thing like that? I can hug the guy but kissing, count me out. How can I possibly do that? If it’s my boyfriend’s male friend that we’re talking about, I still can’t do it. I can’t give out anything beyond a hug.

It depends on if I have dated the guy before or not. If for instance, my friend’s boyfriend happens to be my first love, then that would make it a very complicated issue. If he’s now dating my friend, I’m afraid something can happen between us – gba! A kiss could come into play between us but I’ll do all I can to avoid dating him. I won’t date him so as to protect my friend’s interest. I can always steal a kiss from a guy like that but I’ll make it very clear to him that we can date due to the circumstance.

However, all this would depend on the level of closeness with the friend in question. I want you to fully understand that saying ‘hi’ to somebody doesn’t make the person my close friend. If it is a ‘hi-hi’ kind of friendship, it might go beyond just stealing a kiss but if it’s a friend I’m really close to, no way! Now, let’s look at the other possibility. If the guy is my boyfriend’s pal, I won’t do it for obvious reasons. For all we know, it could be a set up. If the girl is smart, she won’t get into such messy thing. The guy might be somewhere watching.

Yes, it’s possible. It’s a very free world and sometimes, things you never thought possible could begin to occur. As long as I’m attracted to the guy and I’m convinced I like him, why not? Don’t begin to have any funny thoughts about me o. Look, what’s the assurance that my friends can’t do the same thing to me or even doing it already. If the guy in question is my boyfriend’s pal, then it becomes more complicated and I would rather not dazzle into such things.

Atinuke Iginla
No I can’t, especially if the friend in question is very good friend of mine. However, I must be very frank with you, if the friend you’re talking about is the ‘hi-hi’ kind of friend, I might steal the kiss. What matters in such a situation is that I like the guy and am seriously attracted to him.

Ronke Olojo
Yes, I can. Look, it’s no big deal. If my friend finds out - so what? I don’t really give a damn. I can’t date such a guy but I can steal a kiss from him even if he’s my boyfriend’s pal. I’ll ensure it doesn’t go beyond stealing a kiss because if it does, there’s a serious problem. As for stealing a kiss, I don’t give a damn. As long as it’s just a kiss, it’s okay, but dating? Never!

Bunmi Adesanwo
I would never do such a thing. Don’t ask me why. It’s a very bad thing to do. What I wouldn’t want others to do to me, I wouldn’t do to anyone. Let me confess to you. I could become very jealous when it comes to loving someone. If I see my boyfriend doing that with my friend, I would be very mad. Since I can’t take it, I won’t do it to my friend. As for my boyfriend’s pal, I wouldn’t do it either. It’s a terrible thing to do. That’s cheating and I can’t cheat on my boyfriend.
