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.
