How to calm your nerves before smooching your sweetie

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
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.

ok so my boyfriend recently hinted via text about kissing... i dont want to be like "no. absolutely not." but im not for sure if i want to... we havent been dating very long at all. besides, pda in front of EVERYONE isnt really my thing. what should i do?




Hey girlie,

Just take things one step at a time! If he goes for a kiss, be relaxed but firm about telling him you like him a lot, but you don't think you're ready. He can't force you into doing ANYTHING if you don't feel ready for it, so don't be afraid to tell him that <3 (Also make sure you're not just avoiding it because you're nervous/scared of it. Sometimes things make us nervous, but that's no reason not to tackle them like an adventure!)

my boyfriend and i have been dating for a week now and he wont hold my hand in school! we held hands at a dance the weekend before he asked me out so im really confused...

Hey girl,

He might be shy about PDA -- a lot of guys are, so it's nothing to fret over! If you've just started dating, give him some time to adjust to the relationship. Not every couple likes PDAs, and you know how you feel about each other, so why rub it in everyone else's faces? Saving those sweet moments for special times like dances and when you're alone will make them even sweeter Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!! So I just got my BF & we've been dating for about 12 days and everyone keeps bugging us that we should kiss. Some say we should've kissed the 2nd day we started dating others say to wait after 2 months or the 3rd date. But IDK when would be the right time. When would be the right time?

Hey girl,

The first kiss doesn't come at a certain date -- it's different for everyone and varies from relationship to relationship. If you're not sure you're ready, there's no reason to rush into it -- you want it to be special, after all! When the time is right, you'll know. Don't listen to anyone else, and do what feels right for you and your BF.
