Shortly after my first kiss I remember wondering, was I any good at that? After years of practice I think it may be fair to say that truly good kissing is an art form!
You may find yourself out on a date with someone and the two of you have a great deal in common. The conversation is flowing, you have many of the same interests, etc. But it all comes down to those last 30 seconds - it's make or break time.
The kiss of death is a seal all its own. If I don’t call you back, it may not be because I didn’t enjoy hearing about the time you spent working with orphans in a third world country. It may actually be that you are just a bad kisser. According to Nicole Kristal, writer for Newsweek, Premiere, and Back Stage West newspaper, here’s a cheat sheet of oral offenses, so you can avoid being thought of as a cringe-worthy kisser:
- The Vampire Lip-Sucker
- The Speed Racer
- I have a tongue, too, thank you
- Mr. Hoover
- The Cheek-Licker
- Ladies, you can stink, too
If any of these no-no's sound like you, slow down, and think about your next move. After all, practice makes perfect!

Good stuff.
However, sometimes the moment leading up to the actual kiss can be just as important as the kiss itself. For whatever reason, us guys all claim to know when she's 'ready' for it.
And it's this central assumption that often leaves guys with their dreams shattered and no phone call the next day.
Maybe she really is 'ready' for it. Maybe she really can't wait for you to go for it. Maybe she really wants you to kiss her. But ... (and I know this is asking a lot) what if she isn't?
There's strategy so simple it's rediculous:
You ask her.
If she's feeling it, you're so in it's not even funny. You'll be making out before you can even finish asking her.
And if she's not into it, you'll save yourself the humiliation of getting ahead of yourself and perhaps ruining a perfectly good date.
Either way, you go home with you're dignity, and if you're lucky, a little more than that.
