7 things you should (and shouldn't) expect for your first kiss

 
 

Check these out, too...

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
First kisses can be slightly nerve-wracking yet oh-so exciting! Know what to expect for your big moment, so that you can skip the worrying and go right to the wow.

 

Do expect butterflies.

Whether you’re kinda anxious, super excited or you just really like your sweetie, getting butterflies in your stomach is totally normal. Take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the moment.

 

Don’t expect pressure.

You’re first kiss should be sweet and romantic and…a kiss! Your guy shouldn’t get pushy or anticipate anything more.

 

Do expect a little awkwardness.

It’s no big deal to get a bit nervous, bump noses or be a little out of sync. You’ll get the feel for it with time.

 

Don’t expect it to be dry.

Mouths aren’t dry, so don’t be surprised if you get a little bit of saliva along with your kiss. If it feels more dog-licking-your-face than aww-inducing rom-com kiss, slow things down to minimize the slobber.

 

Do expect tongue.

A first kiss definitely doesn’t have to involve any sort of tongue invasion, but it’s a good idea to be prepared just in case.

 

Don’t expect perfection.

I’m sure you’ve seen tons of flawless first kisses in romantic movies, but this is real life! If your first kiss was a little less than wow, try it again; kissing makes perfect.

 

Do expect it to be special.

Despite any first-kiss jitters, your first kiss should be memorable.  Choose a sweetie who treats you great and your first kiss is sure to be special, not regrettable.

So me and my bf have been going out for a few months. We hadn't even held hands yet. But at our second to last date we held hands and he put his arm around me. I liked it, until he tried to kiss me. I wasn't really ready for that, and I tried to tell him that, but we ended up kissing once. No tongue or anything like that. I was ok with it, and he was cool about it. But then at our last date, he didn't hold my hand or anything. And at the end, we had kind of an awkward hug because my mom was standing right there. How can I tell him that now I'd like to kiss him?

I'm kind of annoyed. I have a crush on this guy and he likes to hang it with me and I get along really well with his buds. It made me really happy because it use to be that I didn't feel "worthy" to talk to any of them- my crush is 13 and all of his buds are 13 to 16, so I didn't know how to relate. Well, it turns out I have a lot to relate to guys...so like I said that made me happy. There's this girl I tend to hang with who totally lives my crush, too. Literally. She keeps telling me that she loves him, LOVE LOVES him, but she can hardly talk to him. I'm embarrassed to talk to my crush when I'm with her because she asks really weird questions, stuff that you don't ask until you actually know the person. Normally I'd feel sympathetic, but this is also the girl who told my crush I majorly liked him and left herself out of it. The day I foun out that she told him she started cracking up like I thought it was funny, and when I got his # she was giving me the silent treatment! ? What?!

How do you tell a guy you like him? Whenever I go near my crush or try to talk to him I get dizzy, my legs go weak, and my heart beat speeds up whenever he looks at me so what do I do?!?!


 


Hey Chica! Your response to your crush is totally normal and happens to everybody. Take a few deep breaths before starting the convo to calm yourself down. When you tell him , make sure it's in private, but strait to the point is the best way to tell him you're into him. Guy's don't always pick up on subtle details. Good luck!

Ok so the guy I like is shorter than me , he's sweet and weird, I can make him and his buddies laugh (I can easily fit in with any crowd XD) and my friends say he likes me but I'm not the prettiest, smartest, coolest, sweetest, funniest, weirdest, craziest, nor the most athletic or most graceful. So what I wonder, is why would he like me! I'm ecstatic that he could possibly like me but there are so many way prettier girls (lol and way taller) in our school. I don't understand. I've been told I'm pretty, but I think I'm not as pretty as any of those girls...

 

hey girl! okay, so maybe you're not any of the MOST of those things, but you could be a jack-of-all-trades-- good at all of them! I bet you're pretty, and funny, and kind, and fun. So I'm not surprised he likes you! You make him laugh, you get along with his friends...what's not to like?

xoxo

Ok so I'm not very good friends with my crush (too shy) and today his best friend poked me in the back called my name "Lynna" and pointed over to my crushes other friend and that guy said something like "batman" (I'm not really sure the cafeteria is really loud I just smiled and turned around after I was sure they were done talking to me (I was so confused) but my crush was smiling at me a lil... They know I'm a New England patriots fan and we almost lost to the jets last night... But WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!




Hey girl, it's a bit tricky to call. I'd continue watching what they do but otherwise, just hold your ground. It's hard to judge just off this one case.
