“If you know that your chance to make out are very good, then skip the garlic, raw onions, and excessive coffee. Granted, sometimes a hot kiss isn’t planned, but if you can prep for it, do so.”— Amanda Chatel, bustle.com
“Some people don't close their eyes, but some kissing partners are spooked by that. So for the sake of not running off your first kissing partner, just close your eyes when you lock your lips.”— Marcelina Hardy, dating.lovetoknow.com
“Take a deep breath and let it all out, so your body is relaxed. If you are too uptight, your lips will remain tight, and your kissing partner will feel that. Remember, you can do this.”— Marcelina Hardy, dating.lovetoknow.com
“Have mints on hands at all times. You can easily swallow a mint when you're about to kiss someone. That way, you can be assured that your breath is fresh and clean.”— Marcelina Hardy, dating.lovetoknow.com
“A perfect kiss isn’t just one kiss, it’s a series of well timed kisses. Kiss your date for a few seconds, and move your head back slowly, but keep it within a few inches from your date’s face. It makes you feel more in control, and you’ll be able to read your date’s expression too.”— Gerry Sanders, lovepanky.com
“Feel your date’s lips softly touch your own and spend a few seconds trying to understand who takes the upper lip or who takes the lower lip.”— Gerry Sanders, lovepanky.com
“Try to sit close to your date. It’s a great way to pass your sexual vibes to them. And most importantly, speak in a low and soft voice. Speaking softly is a natural turn on. Talk about how wonderful you feel spending time with this person, or talk about how enjoyable the day was.”— Gerry Sanders, lovepanky.com
“Tease him by putting the tip of your tongue in his mouth for just a second and then moving your head back slightly to tease him.”— Joanna Goddard, glamour.com
“Don't be shy, you're not confined to kissing just her lips — there's a whole face and body to explore. Why not French kiss her chin, her neck and her breasts? Or kiss her eyes, the spot behind her ears or her wrists.”— David Strovny, askmen.com
“If you'd like, suck on her tongue mimicking the way you would suck on her clitoris. She'll catch on quite quickly and perhaps after that you can let her suck on your finger so that she can return the favor.”— David Strovny, askmen.com
“Positioning your hands on her body while kissing her is especially important too. Holding her face firmly but gently while you slip your tongue inside her mouth and suck on her lips will definitely make her toes curl. As well, pulling her hair back from the back roots or slightly squeezing the part…”— David Strovny, askmen.com
“A good kisser is an open-minded kisser. Like, if I do something weird to a girl like suck on her tongue and she’s into it, I get really excited because it means when we get to doing other stuff she’ll be really open-minded as well.”— Jason, thoughtcatalog.com
“I like it when a girl is a little bit submissive and lets me lead. I like to feel like I’m kind of in charge and she’s totally being wooed by me.”— Ben, thoughtcatalog.com
“A good kisser adjusts their style to the person they are kissing. They start off slow and read your cues. They follow your tongue around with their tongue. If you grab a little handful of their hair, they do it back to you. It’s not just a tit for tat thing, but they pay attention to what you do and…”— Kevin, thoughtcatalog.com
“Remember to keep your jaw and mouth relaxed, so that your lips feel soft—sometimes I even give myself a quick jaw massage before a date. If you're tense, then your lips get hard and tight, which isn't very sexy.”— Molly Triffin, cosmopolitan.com
“Take your time. Sometimes I find myself hurrying through making out just to get to the next step, but if I draw out my kisses so that they're long and slow, both of us get way more turned on than if we'd rushed it.”— Molly Triffin, cosmopolitan.com
“I wear a gloss that contains cinnamon oil. It makes my lips look plump and feel super pillowy.”— Molly Triffin, cosmopolitan.com
“Practically every movie or TV show about growing up shows a scene where a pre-pubescent little girl is trying to make out with herself in a mirror because she wants to learn how to kiss. Cute, but not realistic. You can't practice kissing with a mirror! That's literally absurd. It doesn't even make…”— Jessica Booth, gurl.com
“Don't dart in and out like a lizard - that is uncomfortable and weird. Don't lick their lips or the outside of their mouth, that is just... no. Don't. Also, don't shove your tongue in there. Be gentle! And take cues from your partner. You'll know what I mean when you're there.”— Jessica Booth, gurl.com
“The next time you're with the person you want to kiss, start flirting. Once you two are pretty flirty, get as close to them as possible. When you're really close, and the moment feels right, just lean in and put your lips on theirs, and take it from there! It's easier to do than talk about, honestly…”— Jessica Booth, gurl.com
