DATING TIPS & HINTS
How Should I Kiss?
|
Mar-12-2003 Boy, there's a lot written about kissing … from the how to, step by step, Time-Life Books explanations on what to do and when to do it (which if you ask me are downright creepy) to the bizarre. Check this out: Take your hand make a shape like you were going to pull the trigger on a gun. Place the tip of your index finger (the tip = the joint farthest from you hand ) under her chin and lift her head to your mouth. Guns and kissing in the same paragraph? Let's see … guns are scary, kissing is scary, Charlton Heston is good with guns and good with kissing … okay, I get it. In spite of what most on-line advice givers will claim, there is no way to actually tell someone how to kiss. This is one thing that is learned by doing - not reading - so in spite of my incredible experience and considerable qualification in this area, I can't tell you exactly what to do … but since you asked here are a few pointers: 1. Do not attempt a kiss if you can taste anything other than minty freshness 2. Do not engulf your partner's face with your open mouth. Here's a good rule of thumb - if you can see your partner's ears, pull back! If your lips are parted more than tongue's width you've crossed a line. 3. Do not bite anything - unless you're both into that sort of thing. 4. Do not slobber - if you need to spit, you must quit. Swallow … don't think about it … just do it. 5. You've got hands - use 'em, but make sure you keep them in an acceptable zone so to speak. Think gentle hug position. For those of you who respond well to more practical applications … kissing has a lot of similarities to enjoying a soft serve ice cream. Keep it slow, gentle and varied. Wait a second. This topic is way too big for just one letter … I must write more ... stay tuned for my next issue: eyes wide open or shut? Love, The Advice Girl |
