Is it normal to not feel anything when kissing your partner?

Depends.It depends

It can happen, and it doesn’t automatically mean you don’t love your partner or that the relationship is doomed. If it’s bothering you, pay attention to whether it’s a temporary dip or part of a bigger change in how you feel together.

Kissing doesn’t feel magical for everyone, all the time. Stress, distraction, routine, feeling disconnected, or simply not enjoying that kind of affection can leave you feeling flat. Sometimes the relationship itself has changed; sometimes your mind is just somewhere else.

Think about whether you feel close and affectionate in other ways, and whether this is new or has always been true. If you want to, tell your partner kindly and try talking about what kinds of affection feel good to both of you—without treating one kiss as a relationship verdict.

If you’ve also stopped enjoying things generally or feel emotionally numb in other parts of life, that broader change may be worth talking through with someone you trust or a professional.
