Kiss and Tell: First Kisses on the First Date






Kiss and Tell: First Kisses on the First Date



The first kiss can determine whether or not you two have that “connection,” that physical chemistry. Below are a few guidelines that might help you get through that nerve wrecking sign of affection.



01. Timing




Timing



Do not be awkward. Follow your gut feeling, when it feels right; it is probably right. Be spontaneous and creative, do not wait for that cliche moment before you both say goodbye. Be sure to read your date’s signals, mood, body language; you do not want to go in for the kiss and get the cheek.



02. The First Move




The First Move



It is 2014, both girls and guys can make the first move. Sure some girls are traditional and want the guy to make the first move, but guys love it when girls take charge too! So go ahead ladies make your date feel wanted.



03. Less is More




Less is More



You want to leave your date wanting more, we’ve all heard the saying “Why buy the cow, when the milk is free,” so do not give away your milk for free. All your date needs to know is that there is more where that came from, so do not slobber all over your date or stick your tongue down his or her throat! Passion and sensuality are different than aggression.



04. Bad Breath




Bad Breath



If you or your date had something with garlic or onion at dinner, your first kiss might need to be postponed. You both do not want bad breath to stain the memory of your first kiss; it will be an immediate turn off. Sometimes gum or a mint might mask the smell, but that is a risk you will have to be willing to take.



05. Secret Agenda




Secret Agenda



You and your date need to be on the same page. You do not want to kiss on the first date and find out that your date just wants to get in your pants. Make sure both you have the same intentions, otherwise there will not be a second date.



06. The Head Butt




The Head Butt



Talk about ruining the first kiss, one of you miscalculates the angles and you clank teeth, your head hits his nose, etc. Recovering from a head butt kiss can either be funny or a sign that it is not meant to be...



07. A Kiss on the Cheek




A Kiss on the Cheek



A kiss on the cheek can still be romantic and tasteful. Just because your date ONLY kissed you on the cheek that does not mean that they are not interested. They could really like you, but just want to take things slow. They are not looking for a hookup, but for a relationship; the question is what are YOU looking for.



08. No First Date Kisses Policy




No First Date Kisses Policy



Plenty of people have a policy where he or she does not kiss on the first date. Technically you both just met and are still strangers so that is understandable.



09. Braces




Braces



We applaud you or your date for wanting to have a healthy smile, but sometimes if your date has braces you might be hesitant to kiss. No worries, just be gentle. A nice gentle kiss is not only intimate, but it’ll prevent any injuries for both of you and your partner’s lips, tongues, and mouths.



10. No First Kiss on the First Date




No First Kiss on the First Date



What if the date ends and there is no kiss? Is he or she uninterested? If your date is not sealed with a kiss, but the rest of the date felt great, then your date was most likely being respectful. The first kiss can dictate if a relationship will ever come into fruition, so sometimes it’s best not give the highly anticipated kiss ‘till the second or third date.
