Step-by-step guide to kiss

Firstly, you need to know if the girl wants you to kiss her. For this, observe her body language and mood. Once you ve gauged the situation well, make your move. Since it can be embarrassing if you do it in a public place, make sure no one s around when you are about to kiss her.

If you both are standing, you can begin by gently holding her hand. Next, face her and place your hands around her waist. Look into her eyes and if she too gives you a go-ahead with her smile, lean in closer to her face. Tilt your head to one side as you do so. Once you see her do the same, shut your eyes.

If you both are sitting, make sure you are close enough to her either opposite her or adjacent to her. Place an arm around her neck and gently pull her closer to you and then lean in to kiss her. You can use your hands to hold her or gently run your fingers through her hair.

Do not hurry into it, the point is to enjoy the kiss and make her feel good about the same. Don t press too hard on her lips. Let it last for a few seconds before you break apart. Or, you can even go back to more kisses if she too is in the mood. This time, it can be more intense and you could even use your tongue.

Types of kisses

Did you know there are several types of kisses you could choose from? Here are few of them:

Peck: A peck is a short kiss where you simple touch your lips to any part of the other person s body just for a second. Usually it pecks are given on the cheeks when you greet someone informally too.

French kiss: This involves a lot of tongue and is an open-mouthed kiss. The couple lock lips and then open their mouths to feel each other s tongue.

The hickey: In this type, one person sucks the other person s neck with their lips which leaves a reddish mark on that area. Mostly people give a hickey or a love bite on the side of the neck.

Spiderman kiss: Inspired from the Spiderman movie, in this type, one person lies in the opposite direction to the other so that only your faces are close to each other and then you can kiss on the lips. It is also called the reverse kiss . Here are some more types of kisses.

Tips to keep in mind

Be confident: Even if you are nervous, don t let it show on your face. She too will be equally nervous or excited about the moment. Do not over-think the moment as it will ruin the experience for the both of you. First kisses are not always perfect but you need to make sure it isn t sloppy as well.

Get her go-ahead: No, do not ask her if she wants you to kiss her as it will take the romance off from the moment. To gauge whether she is in for it, you can observe her body language is she fine with you sitting too close to her, is she okay with you touching her gently or whispering in her ear? These are a few tell-tale signs. But if she pushes you back or moves away that means you need to back off, it isn t the right time yet.

Bad breath check: It is a good idea to check your breath before you make your move. It is a big turn off if you get closer to her mouth and she smells something funny on your breath. Pop a chewing gum or a mint leaf or saunf before your big kiss moment.

Don t plan ahead: The normal guy brain is so geared that once he has kissed a girl, he thinks he needs to take it forward. Even the word foreplay implies that it should lead somewhere, but that s just not the case and taking things too fast might completely ruin the deal. So stick to kissing and necking and see where she wants to go. In fact, leaving things at the foreplay stage might even make your partner hungrier for more.

Be kiss-ready: Before you kiss her, make sure you are kiss-ready. This means, check if your lips aren t chapped as that can spoil the moment. Keep your phone away or on silent mode so that a sudden ring does not break the flow as you kiss. You can also check for body odour since you will be very close to her. In fact, a good fragrance may make it even more sensual for her.
