How To
Kiss Someone Never ask first. Never. Ever.
Asking first is just awful. Kills all the romance. Ask about everything else once
you really start getting physical. But just don't ask about the kissing part.
But, of course, never kiss someone who doesn't want to be kissed. This
is where boys get all defensive. How are they supposed to know? Come ON. This
is not really that subtle. If you have to lean across more than a foot of space,
she doesn't want to be kissed. And anyway, you shouldn't be trying to kiss someone
out of the blue anyway. It's like pealing out of a driveway without giving the
engine time to warm up. You've got to move a little closer, touch them a little
first. Personally, I think holding someone's hand first is a little weird, but
some women like that. The all time best thing to do though, is play with her hair.
Brush it out of her face. Don't do this while staring intently into her eyes trying
to Make A Moment out of it. Just do it casually. Touch her like it's the most
natural thing in the world to be touching her. Pay attention: if she retreats
to the opposite side of the couch or porch or car well then she's more than a
foot away isn't she? No kisses. If she sticks around, keep playing with the hair
and go for it. Note the beauty of this plan. You will never embarrass yourself
by brushing someone's hair out of their eyes while continuing to talk about whatever
it is you're talking about. You haven't gone in for a kiss and had her react like
a wet fish. On the other hand, if you bother to pay any attention whatsoever you'll
be able to gauge whether or not she's interested. (By the way, the classic
female "yes I'm interested" maneuver is to get cold and start shivering.
It's not that we're faking that we're cold--but, c'mon, if we weren't really trying
to get you to put your arm around us, we would have found a sweater to put on
by now.) And finally when you commit to the kiss, don't chicken out and
veer off to the side (I swear I've had boys do this, landing a peck somewhere
on my upper neck). And don't go nuts with passion either. It's a first kiss--make
it sweet and short, 5-10 seconds at most, smile at her and then go back to talking.
This is, of course, the description of a date first kiss, you know where you actually
like the girl--but it will get you pretty far with one you just randomly picked
up too.
