A first kiss is like a first impression, except it is much more important. This kiss will be your first intimate experience together. Follow these steps to make sure your first kiss is not your last kiss! Here are some steps on how to initiate a first kiss.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Breath mints

Step1
Find somewhere to be alone. Crowded parties, dance floors and greasy restaurants are all terrible places for a romantic first kiss. Think up an excuse to be alone. Go for a walk, take a drive, get some fresh air.
Step2
Pay attention to body language. Is there contact? Is your heart pounding?
Step3
Wait for a good moment. Wait for a lull in the conversation, when your eyes meet and you both can't seem to look away. The moment will feel right.
Step4
Build up your contact and culminate it with a kiss. Let him or her anticipate it eagerly.
Step5
Lean in slowly. Give a kiss on the cheek gently and move toward the lips.
Step6
Take it easy. You got your kiss, don't push it. A kiss should not be rushed.
Step7
Smile and pull back. Keep eye contact and say good night, or rejoin the party.

Tips & Warnings

  • Be gentle. Be slow. The moment should seem like it's in slow motion.
  • Moving slowly is a good way to avoid an awkward rejection as well.
  • Have good breath. Avoid garlic, curry and onions at dinner and always, always have mints or gum in the car or in your pocket.
  • Don’t drool. Maybe it's okay when things get hot and heavy in the throes of passion but this is your first kiss. It should be nice.

on 5/17/2008 All you kids reading this ~ Don't rush this! Take it from someone who was once young and is a Mom now. You will not want to waste your FIRST kiss on just anyone. You will also not want it to be too soon. Respect yourself ~ Please...

on 5/16/2008 Nice Article,

I still remember my first kiss! I fainted, he had to hold me up, I was only 16 going on 17 and still had a lot to learn! But, I shall never forget my very first kiss! It swept me off of my feet literally!

Thanks for helping me remember it again, after all these years :)
