Wet/Dry: The weather affects a lot of things, and precipitation can cancel the kissing as well as the dating-permanently!
DONT slobber or trickle. No one wants to drown in saliva. But don’t inflict your partner with dry and chapped lips either.
DO use skin softener and lip balm. Swallow excessive saliva or use a tissue periodically to protect your dating partner from a deluge. Get to know your partner’s preferences, and use gentle, licks and suction that invite reciprocation.
Flexibility: No one wants to kiss a robot. Kissing is a creative art form and requires exploration while forming adaptive shapes and pursuing innovative alliances with your dating partner’s lips.
DONT be scared stiff! Relax. On the other hand, don’t go in with your mouth so loose that it flaps all over your dating partner.
DO be elastic and adaptable. Dating requires spontaneity. Conform your lips softly to each part of your partner’s lips as you explore. Enclose and suck gently to create and release small soft vacuums-on one area after another. Always gauge reactions. Give your partner a turn to be active while you receive. Remember that kissing is a participatory dating sport!
One of the most important factors in dating and kissing is feedback and adjustment. Pay attention! Stay aware of your dating partner’s mood. Try a kiss when your partner is receptive and the surroundings are right for romance: slowly move in as you check for reactions. If your dating partner pulls back, just brush his or her face or touch the nose gently and smile and wait for another time. When you do kiss, make it gentle and patient. When you sense pressure from your dating partner, match it and gently try new movement and positions. When you initiate tongue use, try a slow but brief caress of the lips first. You can be more adventurous when your dating partner shows enthusiasm. When the mood ends, round off the kiss with soft suction and release. Watch your partner’s face for any indication that you should continue.
Whether you are dating online or developing a romance with someone you met at a professional conference, these points can help you build confidence and skill. And when the time comes, you’ll know that you have what it takes to provide you and your dating partner with a unique and wonderful kissing experience. It may be the prelude to a lasting romance!
