Close your eyes as you lock lips.

  1. Pucker your lips out a bit and slowly close your eyes so that they shut right when your lips touch. Keep your lips soft and don’t push too hard against your partner. [3]
    • Take cues from your partner here. If they open their mouth a bit, open your mouth, too! [4]
    • If they pull away a bit as soon as you lock lips, they probably aren’t in the mood for some passionate kissing, so don’t force it.

Pull your partner in close to you.

  1. Put one hand on their back and gently close in. If your partner is shorter than you, you can put a hand over their shoulder instead and lean in that way. [7]
    • Bringing your bodies together signals that you’re so into them that you just can’t stand not being close!
    • You can pull them against you before you actually start kissing if you want a more sexually charged energy.
    • If they pull away or reposition themselves so that there’s a little bit of space against you, don’t force it. Let them respond to what you’re doing so that they’re comfortable, too!

Hold your partner’s head or back.

  1. Incorporating both of your arms is essential to making your partner feel like you just can’t control your impulse to be close to them. You can use your free arm to support your partner’s head by resting your palm against the cheek, or against the back of their head. Alternatively, you can put your hand on their upper back or shoulder. Just do what feels natural! [8]
    • You can also put your hand on their upper chest if you two are kissing at a slight angle.
    • If your partner is kind of swept off of their feet and surprised, they may not put both of their hands on you. If one of their hands is free, you might hold it tight.

Keep your hands moving (slowly).

  1. However, if you move your hands too quickly, it can make it difficult for your partner to settle into the kiss. Calmly reposition your hands so that you engage all of your partner’s senses. [9]
    • You could run your fingers through their hair a bit and give them a (very gentle) hair tug for a super hot option.
    • For something cuter, you might brush their hair back out of their face.
    • Holding a hand against their check or gently squeezing their shoulder can make them feel supported and close to you.
    • You can also move both of your hands to their lower back and pull them up closer to you. This is an especially sexy option if your partner is shorter than you.

Let your partner guide things.

PDF download Download Article
  1. If they lean in even further when you embrace them, it’s a cue that they’re super in for a potential make out session. If they coo a little bit but don’t lean in, keep doing what you’re doing! If they pull back after a few seconds, they probably don’t want to keep going so it may be time to wind down. [10]
    • It can be hard to remember if you’re super into your partner in the moment, but passion requires two people! Don’t push them to do something they aren’t enjoying.

Explore gently with your tongue.

PDF download Download Article
  1. A passionate French kiss is a super intimate way of moving from romantic to hot. If your partner opens their mouth a bit and they seem into it, start moving your tongue around in their mouth. Explore gently and softly. Less is more with a French kiss, so let your partner set the tone. [11] [12]
    • Don’t push or stiffen your tongue. Keep it soft, flexible, and don’t shove it too deep down your partner’s throat. [13]
    • You don’t need to use tongue at all if you aren’t ready.
    • Always try to match your partner during the kiss so things aren't unbalanced. [14]

Try sucking their lip for a moment.

PDF download Download Article
  1. If you’ve been kissing for more than 5-10 seconds, variation can keep things hot and heavy. When the position feels natural, move your lips down a bit so that their bottom lip is in the middle of your lips and give it a very gentle pull. Release their lip after a second or so and go back to your normal kissing. [15]
    • This may be a bit of an odd sensation for them (in a good way) if they’ve never done this before, so don’t suck hard like you’re pulling on a straw.
    • If you have done this before and things are trending way more to the sexy side than the romantic side, gentle, extremely light bite may really get your partner going!

Pause between kisses if you keep going.

Whisper in their ear for a memorable finish.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Leave them with something to think about by whispering something sexy or romantic into their ear as you’re pulling away from one another. You might let them know how much they mean to you, or say something a little suggestive to drive them wild. Either way, it will punctuate the kiss and drive them wild. [18] You might say:
    • “You drive me crazy, you know that?”
    • “You’re the light of my life.”
    • “You have no idea how bad I want you.”
    • Less is more here. You don’t want to ramble for too long after a passionate kiss!

    Expert Answer
    Try not to bump into each other during the kiss. You want your lips to lock together, not be doing their own things.

    It's okay to have more than one crush! But if you're going to pursue a girl, it's probably best to focus on the one you like the best. If you don't know if she likes you, try flirting with her a bit. You might give her compliment or try gently brushing against her in the hall. If she makes a lot of eye contact, she compliments you back, or she goes out of her way to be around you, she probably likes you.

    Is It ok if I don't make the first move if I'm the guy?

    Yes, that's totally fine. You shouldn't feel compelled to make the first move if you aren't comfortable with that, and it doesn't matter whether a guy or girl goes first. Just keep in mind, if she's not confident enough to make the first move, you may end up in a situation where nobody does anything!
