The first time you kiss someone, you want the kiss to go well, so learn a few kissing techniques and start practicing.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Close your eyes at the right moment. When you lean in for the kiss, you want to be looking at your partner until your lips are about to meet. Don’t close your eyes too early, and don’t leave them open during your kiss.

2. Check your breathing. If you are going to just have a short kiss, then you can hold your breathe, but if you are going to be kissing for a while, then you are going to need to breathe. Don’t try to hold your breathe because then you will suddenly be out of air, and have to take deep, awkward breaths. Breathe calmly, the way you normally breathe, and start out breathing through your nose until you open your mouths to kiss. You can then breathe through your nose and your mouth. Just be careful not to breathe heavily on your partner. Keep it natural.

3. Use your hands to augment your kiss. If you want to kiss well, and leave a good impression the first time, then you need to use your hands and touch the other person during your kiss. Start by embracing them around their head or torso, but do not violate their personal space by touching them in other places without being invited to do so.

4. To kiss well the first time, you need to kiss for the right amount of time. Be sensitive to your partner’s body language. If the person you are kissing starts to move away or close their mouth, your kiss may be over. If in doubt, leave your partner wanting more. If they initiate the next kiss, you will know your first kiss went well.
