How to calm your nerves before smooching your sweetie


 

Check these out, too...

  • Help! My BF told everyone we kissed--but we didn't!
  • Look. Love. Repeat.
  • Do long distance relationships work?
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
My boyfriend just asked me recently if I would ever kiss him. I just told him that I don't know. Then I asked him if he would ever kiss me. He said yes. I felt all awkward. I kept thinking to myself, "What if he tries to kiss me when I'm not expecting it? What if something goes terribly wrong? What if I totally embarrass myself?" All these things were going through my head. What do I do to calm my nerves?


Hey girly! Don’t fret too much about your first kiss. Every girl – and guy – wants it to be perfect and special, and it will be, but in its own way. There is no reason to over think it and plan out every last detail – the more spontaneous it is the more memorable it will be!


Even though your boyfriend says he is ready now, you don’t have to be. Everyone matures at his or her own pace and may need some more time to prepare for the next step in the relationship. The first kiss is a big moment in a girl’s life, so there is absolutely no need to rush in to it. And if your boyfriend just can’t understand that you are not ready, then maybe he doesn’t deserve to be your first kiss.


Take all the time that you need to take the next step and only go for it when you are positive that you are ready. But remember that it doesn’t have to be planned ahead of time to be perfect and memorable.

So is it wrong to have a crush on my dad's girlfriend's son? He's really awesome and I like him a lot and I think he might like me to. Is that bad?







Hey Babe!




Wow, that's a toughie! We can't control who we crush on but I would avoid pursuing him. If things go sour between you two, it'll be tough getting away from him. Do you really wanna see your ex over thanksgiving dinner? I'm sure you'll find a new crush super fast this summer.  




BEST OF LUCK : )

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 6.5 months, and we still haven't kissed! There have been many moments where we almost had kissed, but somehow it always got interrupted! Now I'm super paranoid, because, I don't know exactly what to do...

you should really put articles about eating disorders in your magazine; like a whole spread. i have been suffering from anorexia for over 3 years, and it seems like everything i do is never good enough. I would really appreciate it if you would open up and talk about it more, because right now, over 4 million girls in the US suffer from this disease.

MOD MOD MOD,
so I know this one guy and he's nice and all but he's really immature and dorky. plus he's never heard of personal space. well anyways he likes me and I do not like him in the least. we're in a play together and we have to play husband and wife. (gross!) when we were backstage he walked over to me and started talking about kissing! he was saying stuff like, "some people might think we're dating and ask us to kiss and don't actually want to kiss eachother so how about I teach you to fake kiss." I told him I'd rather not learn but he still flirts with me all the time. how do I tell him to stop without hurting his feelings? (he crys by the way) he's making me feel really uncomfterable. HELP!




Hey Girlie,

Sounds like a pretty uncomfortable situation! I think what it comes down to is that you just have to be straightforward and honest! Tell him that you don't like him that way and that it makes you totally uncomfortable when he says stuff about kissing or dating or anything else that's flirtatious! I know you don't want to hurt his feelings, but you also need to think about your feelings! You don't like to be in situations like that and the only way to change that is to tell him to please stop! If you say it completely honest, without being mean or rude, I'm sure he'll understand! Good luck Smile

MOD
I think I might like this guy in my class. He is cute and sweet, and texts me all the time. And when he texts, he puts smiley faces everywhere Smile and even told me that he thought I was the nicest girl in the class. The thing is, it's soooo awkward at school. We do talk and laugh a bit together but it's not like when we text. Any tips on making this less awkward for both of us?
Thanks Smile

Hey girl,

What do you talk about when you're texting? Bringing those topics to actual conversation will make things more comfortable and less awkward. Talk about school or movies or other familiar stuff, and then you'll be comfortable enough to carry on a good conversation. Once you're comfortable with each other it won't be awkward!
