When you like your boyfriend a lot, you may want to show him your love with a kiss. Kissing can be intimidating, but it can also be fun! By getting closer, using touch and body language, and creating the right moment, you can ensure your first kiss with your boyfriend is memorable.
Things You Should Know
Dating coach Connell Barrett says to wait for a “romantically tense” pause when “[he’s]…making deep eye contact with you and [his] body language is leaning in and matching yours.” Hold hands or look at his lips to raise the tension, then lean in for the kiss and gently press your lips to his.
Steps
-
Linger at the end of a date. At the end of your evening, linger with your boyfriend before you say goodbye for the night. Try to draw out natural pauses in your speech. Even if you’re nervous, try not to fill every moment with words. This allows a natural moment of anticipation to build. [1] X Research source -
Minimize the physical distance between you. Get physically close to your boyfriend. You can touch his arm, sweep his hair out of his eyes, or whisper something softly in his ear. This closeness will signal that you’re hoping for a more intimate moment.- If you’re walking your boyfriend to his door, for example, don’t trail far behind. Walk with him. If there are steps, you can even level a height difference between you by stopping a stair above or below where he does.

Say something kind and sincere. Say something sweet and heartfelt to make your boyfriend feel close to you. You’ll be physically close, and your words will create emotional closeness to match. [2] X Research source- For example, making eye contact, you could say, “You made me feel really special today.”
-
Be quiet and look at his lips briefly. Draw out the moment after your compliment. Shoot a brief glance at his lips, not longer than two seconds, and then make eye contact with him. Keep your mouth gently parted, ready to kiss. [3] X Research source- If he looks at your lips too, that is a great sign. He may even make the first move.
-
Lean in for the kiss, gently pressing your lips against his. Your boyfriend may take the lead with the kiss, or he may turn away. If he does shy away, don’t force him to kiss. Respect him and understand that he may not be ready. [4] X Research source- If you’re feeling unsure about whether your boyfriend wants to kiss, lean in for the kiss slowly. This gives him time to stop the kiss if he doesn’t want to.

Mirror his body language. Notice your boyfriend’s body language. Then, subtly use your body to mirror his posture, arm position, or leg crossing.

Hold his hand. Reach for your boyfriend’s hand and try to hold it. If he flinches or pulls away, let it go. If he grasps your hand back, intertwine your fingers with his. [5] X Research source- Holding hands creates intimacy between the two of you.
-
Attempt a cheek kiss. Sometime when your boyfriend is sitting next to you, pull him into you and kiss his cheek. Then, smile at him. He may decide to kiss you right then himself.- A cheek kiss lets you gauge your boyfriend’s interest in more romantic kissing.
-
Snuggle into his shoulder. When you’re feeling affectionate during a day out, nuzzle your boyfriend’s arm. If you’re at a movie together, you could even lean on him and cuddle into his shoulder. Snuggling releases feel-good hormones that will help your boyfriend feel close to you. [6] X Research source
