If your boyfriend wants you to kiss him, he will have to change or discontinue the aftershave.  In the meantime, blow him kisses.  Don't continue to expose yourself to physical problems for him.  It is his turn to change something to accomodate you.  If he cares, he will. If he refuses to change his aftershave or do without it, he's not the fellow for you. Find out the brand and tell future boyfriends about the problem up front.  Most men have no problem meeting this small requirement for a relationship.  There is a chance that whatever chemical in the aftershave that is bothering you is in many more brands as well. You may just have to find a guy that doesn't use any aftershave at all.  Allergies have a nasty tendency to get worse with each exposure to the allergen so you want to limit your exposure.
