Never underestimate the power of a great kiss. If you do it right, the rest will fall into place. Nervous about your first kiss? Wondering if you are doing it right or are turning your date off? Read on, and learn the fine art of kissing. After all, you never get a second chance at a first kiss!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Freshen your breath before going any further. Practice good dental hygiene and always carry breath mints.

  2. Step 2

    Moisten your lips slightly by either dabbing on a little lip balm or lightly licking your lips.

  3. Step 3

    Angle your head so that when you lean in to kiss, your head does not collide with your partner's head.

  4. Step 4

    Part your lips slightly and lean forward so that you are closer to your partner’s face.

  5. Step 5

    Keep your eyes open as you approach your partner and maintain eye contact.

  6. Step 6

    Close your eyes as you get closer to your partner. However, some people find it sensual to keep the eyes open, so you'll have to decide on your personal preference.

  7. Step 7

    Start with a gentle and soft closed-mouth kiss. Lightly caress your partner’s lips with your lips and be receptive of the response you get.

  8. Step 8

    Hold your partner’s face and/or lightly stroke their hair in a loving manner.

  9. Step 9

    Concentrate on the kiss and enjoy the experience.

Tips & Warnings
  • Respect your partner’s wishes if they do not wish to be kissed. Be polite and take rejection sportingly and do not hold a grudge against your date for turning you down.
  • Avoid food that leave an unpleasant aftertaste or residue such as garlic, onion, spinach, corn, milk and other such strong foods.
