First kiss! Tips for sweet smooches


 

Check these out, too...

  • DNA Mix Up: Little Mix's new album
  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
Think you’re ready for your first kiss? It’s super easy to get nervous and feel anxious leading up to lip action, but we’ve got tips to make your smooch pucker-perfect.

 

Don’t stress. Worrying that you’ll “mess up” or be a “bad kisser” will make ya feel sick rather than sweet. Your crush isn’t an expert, so just be real and be yourself. You’ll do fine!

 

Skip the gloss. Go for a basic fruity lip balm for a soft kiss. Sticky gloss can get a bit messy, and bold lipsticks might smear on your face… and his!

 

Tilt your head a bit. If ya stand too still, you might bump noses, and that could get a bit awk.

 

Shaky hands. Don’t know what to do with your hands? Keeping your arms limp at your sides usually looks unnatural. Rest your hands on his shoulders or go with whatever’s comfortable.

 

Don’t look! Closing your eyes makes the moment even sweeter.

 

Shhhh. Lots of girls tend to blab when they’re anxious around guys. Just enjoy the moment and don’t feel like ya gotta fill the silence.

Mod (Meghan)
I have mentioned it to my friend before, and she said that part of her thinks he likes me, but she didn't really say anything else. If he does anything drastic, like telling me that he likes me, I will definitely tell her about it. Do you have any articles that give me some signs if a guy likes me so that I can keep those signs in mind?

Hey girlie,

That is great that you are keeping your friend in the loop! Check out this post for signs a guy likes you! Smile http://www.girlslife.com/post/2012/11/08/How-to-tell-if-he-likes-you-likes-you.aspx?cp=all

MOD MOD MOD Okay, so Valentines Day is coming up, and I want this year to be really special. I REALLY like my best guy friend, and I told him not long ago. He said that now isn't the time for him, and I understand. We're both Christian, and are trying to focus more on God first. He seemed happy to know I liked him, though, and we're still friends. Any tips on how to get this Valentine's Day to be special? ThanksSmile

Hey girlie,

If you aren't in a relationship, it's okay to give him a gift as friends that's not too romantic but still shows you care. Maybe you could get him something that reminds him of an inside joke you two have or something you like to do together. A book or a DVD is also a great solution! I'm sure he'll appreciate whatever you get him, because it's the thought that counts Smile

MOD MOD MOD!
I need advice!! I think that my Best Friend's brother may like me. He's a grade older than me, but we're really close in age. He talks to me more than anyone in my grade, leans in when he talks to me, uses my name a lot, glances my way a lot (I always catch him and he looks away), and playfully teases me. One time, he was walking with me and we started walking different ways. He asked where I was going, and I told him, and he said "I was going to go this way to keep talking to you, but I'll go this way now". Another time, he stole my laptop battery and when I asked him to give it back, he went, "But I want to trade batteries with you... I love your battery" (weird, I know). I also went to one of his sporting events, and he won the event he normally loses (this could be for any reason, I just included it anyway). I don't want to talk to my friend about it quite yet. Do you think he likes me? Any advice?
Thank you sosososososososo much!

Hey girlie,

It sounds like he likes you or is at least flirting with you! I wouldn't think too much about it though, especially about the battery--you might just have a longer battery life! If you want to tell him you like him, though, I would definitely talk to your friend first. She would be really hurt if you didn't tell her about it and left her out! Ask her if she would be okay with it, because it's not worth losing your friendship with her when you're not sure if he likes you or not. Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!! ok, so, I have a problem with my boyfriend! I like him sooooo much and we text alllll the time! its never unnatural texting him! but when I see him in person, its like, SO awkward to talk! im confused! I think the technology is seriously ruining this for us! what can I do to avoid the awkwardness? Please help!!!

Hey girlie,

If you think you're texting too much, maybe you could take a break from texting for a little while and focus more on your in-person communication. Whatever topics you talk about when you're texting, just bring up in person! Once you get the ball rolling with a topic, it won't be awkward--you both already know you like each other! Start a casual convo and go from there. And when you're not together, try talking on the phone sometimes instead of just texting!
