Your Question: My boyfriend and I just started dating. He asked me on a date and I know he will kiss me but it’s been like 6 months since I have kissed a guy and I don’t remember how!! What in the world do I do?
Dear Reader,
First-kiss jitters can make you really nervous about “the moment,” even when you want (and are expecting) the kiss! So the first thing you’ve got to do is stop worrying. It sounds like you really like this guy, and that’s the main ingredient for a good kiss — chemistry. And since it’s there, the rest will come together when the two of you start to kiss.
You see, kissing is like riding a bike. Even when you haven’t ridden one in a long time, once you get back on, it comes right back to you. The same thing will happen when your new boyfriend kisses you. You’ll suddenly remember how to do it, even if you are a little nervous. And sometimes, getting back on the bike (or kissing again after a six-month break) makes you look at things in a new way (like a cute new guy), and you’re even better at it!
The fun part is that everyone has a slightly different kissing style, so your new boyfriend might kiss a little bit differently than your last one — and that’s OK. Don’t feel the need to kiss a certain way. Try to enjoy the moment and relax a little. Kissing is meant to be fun! And if things aren’t perfect the first time — say you two bump teeth or he goes in and accidentally kisses your ear instead of your lips (these things can happen with even the best of kissers!) — just smile and laugh a little. If you’re comfortable, he will be more comfortable, and that makes for much better kissing. The key is that you really like each other. And what could be better than kissing someone you’re crazy about?
Have fun!
