How to Kiss Well...

Considering my more recent experience, I feel the need to elaborate more on the fine technique that is kissing.

1. Always keep your teeth brushed and everything. You don't want a piece of snitzel grossing the other person out. It takes just a little gross thing to turn the other person off. Try bringing mints or something like that, that way if you eat before, you're breath is fine, and you can just offer one to them to keep everything minty fresh.

2. Find a good situation. Dropping a girl off at her doorstep is good. Or in a car before dropping her off. Have a flirty conversation right before hand. Look at his/her lips more and more. When the conversation lulls down make a move.

3. Smile a little bit and move your head forward. Don't close your eyes yet, make sure the other person is moving toward you too. 

Don't freak out! While rejection IS a possibility, the flirty conversation you just had shows that he/she is SOMEWHAT interested. Besides, the person isn't going to just push you away. They'll probably go along with it. 

4. So your lips will touch. Now get into a more comfortable position. If you're a girl, put your hand on his head and the other somewhere else. Guys, put a hand or two on her back. Avoid the stomach area, that makes girls feel fat. 

5. ADVANCED- If you will be using tongue, the hygiene thing is super super important. Put your tongue at the edge of the other persons lips. They will open their mouth. Move your tongue around a little. I was told to write your name with your tongue. Just don't like touch their teeth or their cheek. That would be weird. Also don't open and close your mouth a lot. This might cause suction. While it looks good in the movies, it doesn't really do much good.

6. Withdraw. While it is convenient if you are interrupted, you will most likely need to withdraw eventually. Pull your head back and say "I have to go" or something like that. Don't just withdraw and leave. I once had a guy do that. It was so awkward.

7. Don't be too promiscuous, but kissing is fun, and you don't have to love the guy/gal you're doing it with. If someone you don't like(within reason) makes a move on you, go for it! Just look at them as practice. Sometimes its the "just friends" people who are the best kissers because you are so comfortable with them.
