What would be the difference between these two sentences.

> 友達に晩ご飯を食べました
>
> 友達と晩ご飯をたべました

My understanding is that と can mean "with" or describe taking an action with a
secondary object (as well as mean "and")

So maybe another example.

> 彼氏にキスした
>
> 彼氏とキスした

Would the difference for that be "I kissed my boyfriend" vs. "My boyfriend and
I kissed"

Difference in sentences (と and に）友達に/と晩ご飯を食べました　彼氏に/とキスした
に has [a lot of functions](https://www.wasabi-jpn.com/japanese-
grammar/japanese-particle-ni-clear-up-all-doubts-you-may-have/) and I won't go
into detail of every possible usage of it. Let me just comment on your
examples.

友達に晩ご飯を食べました is ungrammatical and makes no sense. 友達と晩ご飯をたべました means "I ate
dinner with my friend."

彼氏 **に** キスした means "I kissed my boyfriend." This に is a target/destination
marker. (キスする is an intransitive verb.) 彼氏 **と** キスした is similar, but it
indicates your boyfriend also kissed you because there is と ("with ～"). If you
kissed him on the lips, 彼氏 **に** キスした and 彼氏 **と** キスした are interchangeable.
But if you kissed his wrist, you can say 彼氏 **に** キスした but not 彼氏 **と** キスした.
