Kissing
Have a mint.
Make sure you are kissably fresh. Bad breath is a definite turn off
Lean in and make eye contact.
Lean your head on your guy's shoulder as if you are about to fall asleep. Look up at him - if his arm goes around to let you in, go for the kiss. If not, or if he doesn't seem to be taking things the same way you are, he might not be ready yet. Just relax for now.
Look at his lips.
Drop your gaze and your eyelids to half mast, then slowly, look back up at him and give him a little welcoming smile
Relax and be at ease about it.
If he doesn't go for the kiss, accept it and don't push. Wait for another moment, either later in the date, or another time
Let him know you want to kiss.
Reaching up to twine your arms around his neck, or lightly play with the hair at his neckline will let him know you are ready to get up close and personal
Take the lead.
Some guys are very shy. Even those who aren't have been drilled over and over about unwelcome touching. Consider lightly kissing him on the cheek to show him that you're okay with touch. Guys have a reputation as being pervs, but a lot of boys worry about going too far
Invite him to kiss you.
Yep, some boys really do need an engraved invitation. Let's say you've tried to show him you're ready, and he looks interested, but you just can't get him to (A) let you kiss him, or (B) kiss you, then just ask him, "Couldn't we just be kissing right now?" If he doesn't kiss you then, he isn't going to
Tips and Tricks
~Keep in mind that many are shy about kissing -- but this doesn't mean they don't want to kiss you. Pay attention to body language. If you think your someone might be suffering from this ailment, try kissing them! Just be mindful of their reaction. If they pull away, or are surprised or otherwise not interested in the kiss, be mature about it and don't take it personally. You can try again later unless you are rebuffed flat out.
~Carry Lip balm or lip gloss (preferably lip balm)
~The fastest way to have a first kiss is just to get close to the person and kiss them. Most people won't complain. However, it is more fun if you spend an intimate evening with that person first.
~A good way to have a first kiss is going to a movie. Simple, but effective. Hopefully your crush will hold your hand - everyone has hormones, after all - and then, gradually get closer until you're as close as you can be without kissing. S/he should get the message soon, and if s/he doesn't, perhaps s/he's just not ready.
~If you know for a fact he wants to kiss you - for instance, he's told your friends - but he's just nervous, don't be afraid to ASK him! It does work.
~Avoid kissing straight-on, noses may get in the way.
~Keep your eyes closed, or mostly closed, during a first kiss. It will be awkward to be cross-eyed looking at them while kissing. Nobody wants to open their eyes slightly to find you staring, wide-eyed at them during a first kiss.
~Do not worry about details - how much to tilt your head, when to close your eyes, how long to stay, etc. Everyone has intuition and kissing is a very intuitive activity. It will all turn out fine.
~Don't just kiss someone out of the blue to see what it's like to kiss, have your first kiss with someone you really care for.
~Make sure you don't have any food stuck in your teeth or braces. ~Make sure your breath smells good. ~Watch out for mono (mononucleosis) or HSV-1, also known as oral herpes. Don't kiss anyone if they have a cold sore or something else around their mouth area; it could be a sign of oral herpes.
~Make sure the person you are about to kiss does not have things in their teeth.
~Keep in mind, that it might taste a bit mushy at first, but you'll get used to it.
~If the guy has a little beard scruff, keep kissing short - too intense, or too long, and you can get a "whisker burn" on your chin or around your lips - very embarrassing.
~Don't chew gum during a kiss, you don't want it to go in to his mouth!
~Don't go bragging to everyone next day, that you just kissed a cute guy. Keep it quiet, keep it special. Keep it YOUR special first kiss. Tell a few friends, but don't go into details. Only you were there (well, your boyfriend was there too, but we're not counting him), and you should keep it that way.
~People say this will be a moment you remember for the rest of your life, and not to blow it - just forget that. For most part, the first kiss is awkward, and nerve-wracking, and you probably will do something stupid like step on his toes. It's really not a big deal if small things go wrong. Have fun - he is in the same position and he is just as busy worrying about what he is doing wrong. You'll realize when the moment is right, a semi-autopilot takes over because it's so natural.
