The Art of Kissing
Posted in » Dating Tips, Love Advice
Kissing is one of the most important aspects of love making, and is often the first act that is practiced and developed. Yet, have you ever stopped to think about what constitutes the art of kissing? There are a number of different styles of kissing, ranging from the formal greeting, the family peck on the cheek, and the intimately passionate French Kiss. Though the other forms don’t require any practice or special attention, if you want to be a good lover, you will need to develop your own style for kissing.
It should be said that there really isn’t a “right” or “wrong” way to kiss, however certain people will respond either positively or negatively to your personal style. It is also important to know when it is appropriate to move from a formal “good night” kiss on a first date, to the more intimate French Kiss.
First, when you share a kiss on a date, the most important rule is to have self-confidence. You should also check for body language clues to determine if the other person would be receptive of a kiss. Never try to give a French kiss as your first kiss. This is an invasion of the other person’s space. Kisses should be given slowly for two reasons. First, you should move slowly so if the other person isn’t receptive, and you have possibly misread their body language, they will have the option of stopping things before they advance. Don’t feel offended if the other person isn’t receptive. There are a number of reasons why some people don’t click, and you could waste your lifetime trying to narrow in on just one. What is good to know is that there is someone out there for you, and you are one step closer to finding that person.
Second, you should kiss slowly because that increases passion and allows you to find out the other person’s personal kissing style. Kissing on the cheek is a good step for the first kiss. If the recipient turns their face towards you and offers you their lips, then you know they are receptive. However, a quick turn of their head away from you and a courteous, “Good Night” is enough to let you know that the date is over. If in fact, if they do offer you their lips, then proceed slowly. Don’t just automatically try to thrust your tongue in their mouth, just begin by kissing gently on the lips, slowly and let things progress naturally.
When you are on a date, often you eat a variety of foods. Whether it is at a restaurant, at the movies, or stopping in a coffee house what you eat and drink on a date will have an impact on your breath. It is a wise idea to always carry breath mints or gum to ensure that your mouth is fresh and ready for that kiss. However, be sure not to have gum in your mouth if you are receptive towards or initiating a kiss. The art of kissing is found in the fact that when you are in a relationship, you and your partner will develop your own kissing style together. Just remember that the key is to move slowly and not overpower the other person with your own French Kissing techniques. Move cautiously and get a sense for what the other person is doing as well.
