Well, several possible responses spring to mind...

1.	"No, I don't mind. Where would you like to kiss me?"

2.	"Well, maybe you shouldn't kiss me just yet, but we could certainly
		discuss the inherent possibilities!"

3.	"Er...hum...well, no I don't really mind, but why do you want to
		kiss me in the first place?"

4.	"No. I don't mind in the slightest."

5.	"I'm sure you could talk me into it..."

6.	"I know a fantastic restaurant not far from here. Let's discuss this
		over a candlelit dinner for two!"

Of these responses, I'd probably end up saying No. 3 about 80% of the time.
Let's face it, this kind of thing tends not to happen around my neck of the
woods and I'd probably be too utterly gobsmacked to say anything else!!

	Can't imagine why you asked the question in the first place, but
		I hope that these answers prove useful, or at least
								informative.

						Cheers!
